The Shiping Small Train Sightseeing Route has history and culture, and is more cost-effective

In Yunnan, the two cities of Shiping and Jianshui are very close to each other. Basically, they play on a line. Because of the history of the meter-gauge train Now there are also sightseeing trains for tourists to experience Because I did a lot of strategy before. The internet-famous train in Jianshui next door is so popular again Expensive, crowded So I strongly recommend taking the Shiping train with your friends. 👏I came here twice in total First time visiting Shiping Station Because there is a French coffee shop here. I like it very much I took the train the next morning. Small train guide ⬇️ The train we took was called Yilonghao There are two stops between Shiping Station and Baxin Station. Each site has unique scenery and historical culture The train only runs at 20 kilometers per hour. You can slowly enjoy the scenery along the way 🎫: Off-season price: 80 for round trip, 60 for one way The peak season will increase by 20💰 ⏰Depart at 10:30 am and arrive at Baxin Station at 12:40 pm The return trip departs at 13:40 and arrives at Shiping Station at 15:10 📍Shiping Station Full of French retro style, it feels like traveling back to the Republic of China In fact, tourists who don’t take the train can also go in and take pictures. The locomotive, rails and platforms are all very photogenic. 📍Renshou Station, stop for 30 minutes, is a small village 📍Longjing Station, stop for 40 minutes, connecting to the wetland park on the other side of Yilong Lake 📍Baxin Station is larger than the previous two villages. You can visit the rural scenery and have lunch here at noon. ⭕️Scenery along the way: The best scenery is definitely the scenery along the way. Sit in the train and see the villages, lakes, and local customs along the way. It is recommended to go to the rear of the train for taking photos. The windows on the seats of this small train in Shiping cannot be opened. 🚞tips: ✅The one-way trip takes a little over 2 hours. Each person will be given bottled water. If it is not enough, you can bring some snacks with you. ✅There is no toilet in the car, you can only get off at each stop and go to the station ✅If you drive yourself, you can park your car at Shiping Station and get free parking fees by showing your ticket until 5pm ✅Compared with Jianshui's train, Shiping's train has fewer carriages and carries fewer tourists

Shiping Old Street

Shípíng (石屏) is an ancient town in the Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture in southeastern Yunnan, about 240 km (150 miles) from Kunming, the provincial capital. The stone-paved streets are really pretty, and the local tofu with all kinds of mushrooms is delicious (though some of the wild mushrooms can be poisonous, so you have to be careful!). I stayed in a guesthouse that was built in a 300-year-old traditional house—it was such a cozy place to relax. The courtyard there was especially nice, perfect for sitting down with a cup of tea.

Shiping Yilonghu National Wetland Park

Yilong Lake (异龙湖) in 石屏 is a beautiful spot where you could easily spend the whole day strolling around. It’s a large freshwater lake in Shiping County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan, with a surface area of about 32 square kilometers (12 sq mi). The scenery is stunning, especially when the colorful lotus flowers are in bloom. The lake reflects the blue sky like a giant mirror, creating a calm and peaceful vibe. It’s also a great place to hit your 10,000 steps on your tracker, and the sunsets are really pretty. It’s definitely worth visiting twice—once in the morning and again in the evening (but best to skip noon time).
