The Jiayang Mini Train in Leshan, Sichuan | The train heading to spring
🌴【Jiayang Mini Train, heading to the spring of rapeseed flowers】
The Jiayang Mini Train is already well-known far and wide.
It can be said to be the earliest internet celebrity among Sichuan's rapeseed flowers,
When the steam train passes through the undulating mountains and forests,
The yellow of the rapeseed flowers meets the white of the steam,
It's hard not to be moved,
Take a moment to understand its history,
Everything is like a profound poem.
