The Pearl on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway → Bisezhai

🌟Highlights: The last time I visited Bisezhai Scenic Area, it was near dusk. This time, I came to Mengzi in the afternoon specifically to take a look. Many middle-aged and elderly people come here to check in. You can rent an old-fashioned military uniform here to take photos and relive the scenes from the movie 'Youth'. Those who know history are aware that during the Anti-Japanese War, many northern universities relocated southward. They traveled by sea to Haiphong, Vietnam, and then took the train along the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway to Mengzi. Some professors and students got off the train at Bisezhai Station and entered Mengzi. At that time, a campus was established in Mengzi, which later gradually moved to Kunming and became the famous Southwest Associated University. 🚉Transportation Guide: Tourists can park in the parking lot and then take the scenic area shuttle bus into the scenic area. Last time, we walked up, but this time a friend led the way and we drove directly into the scenic area (from another route up the mountain, the address is opposite Bisezhai Primary School. Actually, this route does not belong to the scenic area, so such road-blocking measures can only be 🤐). 🎫Ticket Information: The scenic area does not require tickets, it's free to visit. You can walk along the railway tracks 🛤️ all the way down. There are many French-style buildings above, and the red tile roofs on the houses 🏠 are still preserved. It is said that they are all numbered. 📝Tips: Be sure to try the chrysanthemum rice noodles at the Huishuo Guoqiao Rice Noodle Restaurant in Bisezhai. The edible chrysanthemum combined with the special Mengzi rice noodles is super delicious 😋.
