foreword
Everyone has their own youth in their hearts
There is an unforgettable youth in everyone's heart
Only after the baptism of the years
In order to accumulate beautiful fragrance
May youth last forever and be fragrant all the way.
—— "Fang Hua"
After watching "Youth", I couldn't help following in the footsteps of my predecessors, and saw Bisezhai Station, a "unremarkable" small character in the southwestern border.
As a local expert in Yunnan, Ye Guoxun wants to know the beauty of the land where he lives. So I set off with a day off and a small long vacation made up of the weekend.
D1 Kunming - Mengzi - Bisezhai Station
Mengzi City is one of the cities under the jurisdiction of Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province, and the capital of Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture. It is located in the southeast of Yunnan Province and is the core area of the central city in southern Yunnan. The famous Guoqiao Rice Noodle originated in this city.

I went to Mengzi alone, and the main purpose of this trip was to eat cross-bridge rice noodles and take pictures at Bisezhai Station! Therefore, after considering various aspects such as safety and accommodation cost-effectiveness, I bought the train at 07:51 in the morning and arrived at Mengzi Station at about 12:30 noon. After that, I went to the inn to put my luggage, packed up and prepared, and went straight to Bisezhai Station.
[Attention] [Attention] [Attention] [Attention]! ! !
The railway station in the picture above is the Bisezhai Station, which was artificially built later. After many unknowing friends arrived here, they took photos excitedly and then withdrew. But in fact, the real Bisezhai station car is in the opposite direction of the new building, and you can see it about 200 meters along the track. If you really can’t find it, you can ask someone~~~ The photos posted by Yeguo below are the real location photos, please pay attention to comparison and feelings.
Have you found that the real sense of history and vicissitudes of the station is stronger, and even the mottled appearance of the building is more obvious~~~ There is a historical studio of Bisezhai Station on the side of the platform, and a row of "Fanghua" stills are pasted at the door ~~
Objectively speaking, there are very few scenery to see on the platform, but Yeguoxun is mainly for taking pictures, so I still had a lot of fun taking pictures!
[Tips for taking pictures]
1. There are military uniforms of the same style as the movie that are specially rented and sold near the platform. Interested babies can rent them;
2. Because the overall color tone of Bisezhai Station is mainly yellow, green, white, and gray, so you little fairies can bring nude, camel, white, black and related items of the same color;
3. Don’t forget to make full use of the concave shapes of straw hats, stools, tracks, and platform signs;
(This picture is a still from "Youth")
In addition, the platform where the male and female protagonists rely on each other at the curtain call of "Youth" is [Zhicun Station]. But Ye Guoxun did not go because of limited time. Interested babies can find out by themselves.
【Mengzi Itinerary Planning】
1. Transportation:
(1) Kunming-Mengzi
The distance between Kunming and Mengzi is less than 300 kilometers, so the transportation is relatively convenient. You can choose to take the train (takes 3.5 hours, preferred), self-driving or carpooling with the wind (takes 3.5 hours), and long-distance bus (takes 5-6 hours, not recommended).
(2) Mengzi-Bisezhai Station
Mengzi is about 13 kilometers away from Bisezhai, and there are many ways of transportation. mainly include:
a. First take the bus to the North Bus Station, and then buy an urban-rural passenger ticket for Caoba, five yuan per person. Advantages: Cheap Disadvantages: The departure time is uncertain, basically every hour or so, but the specific departure time is to be determined, so if you are unlucky, you will have to wait for a long time.
b. Take a free ride, about 24 yuan. Don't take a taxi or express bus, it's about 40 yuan, it's too expensive and not worth it. (Yanguo Xun is hitchhiking~~~)
c. Mengzi has electric motorcycles and shared car rentals. Those with a lot of people can consider renting cars, and those who love to ride can rent motorcycles. The specific price varies from company to company, and you can consult with specific merchants if you need it.
(3) City bus
The bus in Mengzi will not announce the name of the station when it arrives, so you must pay attention when taking the bus. If you are afraid that you will not be able to remember so many station names, you can tell the driver your destination as soon as you get on the bus, and trouble him to call you at the station. It is best to stand near the driver. In addition, the waiting time of the Mengzi bus is very in line with the characteristics of a small county in Yunnan. Basically, there is only one trip every half or even an hour, so if you are in a hurry, it is better to take a taxi or walk~~~
2. Accommodation:
I searched for reviews on Ctrip and found a train-themed inn (similar to a youth hostel). I felt great looking at the pictures online, so I booked online.
3. Matters needing attention:
A. Beautiful scenery:
When Yeguo Xun was doing the guide, he saw a baby explaining that Bisezhai Station is beautiful when the sun sets, but Yeguo waited until after 7:00 and the sun didn’t set! ! ! If there are many friends and it is convenient to drive by yourself, you can consider watching a sunset. Don’t join in the fun for the lonely little fairy, hurry back to Mengzi before sunset, safety first~~~
B. Food:
Huoshao House Chrysanthemum Rice Noodles (No. 6 Xingsheng Road, Mengzi) The well-deserved Mengzi Internet Red Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles, basically every tourist who comes here will eat a bowl. But You Ye Guo didn't go there until after 8 o'clock in the evening, and when I arrived at the door of the store, I found that it was closed! It was only later that I learned that the house on fire usually closes at one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and the baby who wants to eat should try to go in the morning, otherwise it will be closed like a wild fruit. So I had no choice but to order a bowl of Guoqiao Rice Noodles from a nearby store, and comfort myself that it was also Mengzi’s Guoqiao Rice Noodles~
There are different prices for Guoqiao Rice Noodles. The main difference lies in the number of side dishes that can be selected at different prices. I bought it for 15 yuan and can choose 6 side dishes. The overall feeling is that the taste is very good, and there is an unlimited supply of rice noodles, which can be added at will. The most considerate thing is that the store has a first-class service attitude. Seeing that a girl like me might not be able to hold this big soup bowl (it is very big and hot), she offered to help me carry it.
Call here for my hospitable Mengzi compatriots!
I have to say that the Mengzi people are really enthusiastic and kind. The ride-hailing drivers I picked up twice enthusiastically introduced Mengzi cuisine to me. On the return trip, the handsome guy also gave me dipping roll powder, worried that I couldn't find it, and drove me to the physical store to have a look. (forfeit my fare to go to the gourmet restaurant)
D2 Mengzi - Jianshui - Confucian Temple - Seventeen-Arch Bridge
【Mengzi roll noodles】
The first thing to do after waking up and checking out of the room today is to pull the weeds and eat [Dipping Roll Noodles]. This snack is the most commonly chosen breakfast food for local people in Mengzi, and many tourists do not know it. It’s also fun to make—a bowl of rolled noodles that’s been cut into chunks, dipped in a bowl of delicious, savory condiments. We went to a traditional small shop in the old city of Mengzi, which is the most popular shop on the street that specializes in dipping roll noodles. Thank you very much here. Last night, the ride-by brother showed me the way first, otherwise I would definitely not find it.
Although the photo is a bit ugly, because his business is so good, so I had to take a photo in a hurry and eat it~~
I also ordered a papaya water, but the ice they added to the papaya water turned out to be popsicles
, a little funny~~~
Wild fruit Xun consumption: rice noodle dipped in water 6 yuan/bowl, papaya water 4 yuan/bowl
Babies who want to know the name and address of the store can consult me, the exclusive gourmet check-in point)
After eating and drinking enough, go to Mengzi Station to take the train to Jianshui~~~
【Jianshui】
I never get tired of Jianshui, a city that I come to many times. It is very comfortable and livable, except that it is too hot in summer.
The most surprising thing is that after arriving at the ancient city of Jianshui, I found that the phoenix flowers were blooming, which was very beautiful.
Is it very beautiful, but the wild fruit was there on May 9, so the phoenix flowers have not finished blooming, and it is estimated that it will be more beautiful when they are all in full bloom. (About early June) The phoenix flower tree is very tall, not suitable for taking portraits, but it is very suitable for sketching. On the way to the hotel, I saw many babies painting along the road.
Today, my friend came to play with me when he was free. After I went to the hotel to pack my luggage, we set off for the Confucian Temple and the Seventeen-Arch Bridge!
【Confucian Temple】
Ticket information: If you are not a baby with a special discount, you can buy it on Ctrip (50 yuan), which is cheaper than buying directly (60 yuan).
also! ! ! With the tickets for Confucian Temple or Zhujia Garden, there is a discount for buying small train tickets, which is more cost-effective than buying directly!
Jianshui Confucian Temple is one of the few large-scale Confucian temples in the country. It was first built in the 22nd year of AD (1285). It is the third temple built in Yunnan Province after Zhongqing (Kunming) and Dali. The biggest feeling of walking in the Confucian Temple is that it is very comfortable. Some exhibition stands along the road also display the calligraphy works of Jianshui elementary school students. The calligraphy of the children is so good that my aunt is ashamed, so I didn’t take pictures.
Before going to the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, we passed Lin'an Station, so we couldn't help being curious and went to take a picture first.
Later, I came across a very interesting photo studio, and took a few photos with the old-fashioned bicycle at the door
【Seventeen Arch Bridge】
The Seventeen-Arch Bridge is very suitable for riding by yourself at night. There are shared bicycles in Jianshui County, which is very convenient to use. There are even two-person bicycles for couples, which is really too cruel.
Because my SLR is a portrait head, I can't take big scenes, so I took a picture of the Seventeen-Arch Bridge with my mobile phone. The last collage was taken by fellow kaimi, which recorded the whole process of the Seventeen-Arch Bridge from the scorching sun in the afternoon, to the dazzling white light, to the warm yellowish color, and finally to the golden yellow before the sun sets. I can't help but sigh that the moon rises and the sunset is really a magical thing. This century-old bridge is more like a fetish full of aura, changing its color according to the natural weather and seasons.
Amway: Watch the sunset on the Seventeen-Arch Bridge! ! !
【Zitao Street】
After watching the sunset at the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, we rode a shared car to Zitao Street, the most famous night market in Jianshui. There are many small shops selling pottery, snacks, barbecue, ice cream, and literary objects. Because it is not specialized in selling Jianshui special items, I personally feel that it is the same as boutiques and pedestrian streets in any city. You can go shopping, but you don't have to. What Yeguo appreciates more is that Zitao Street and Jianshui Ancient City are separated. The former is commercial and modern, while the latter is ancient and remote, and the two do not interfere with each other.
【Ximen Tofu】—Tofu is the only thing you must eat when you come to Jianshui.
It only takes about 15 minutes to ride a car from Zitao Street to Jianshui Ancient City. Since Ximen tofu is delicious, we specially ate barbecue near Ximen. Except that the wrapped tofu is very delicious, the others are only at the level of ordinary barbecue in Yunnan, so you must eat tofu! ! !
Different from the method of roasting tofu in Yunnan, the grilling method of Jianshui tofu is also very interesting:
Fresh tofu is stacked around the grilling table. When a customer orders, the boss will put the corresponding amount of tofu in the middle of the stove with the hottest fire, cover it with an iron plate, and turn it over regularly.
After the tofu is inflated and the surface is golden, the iron plate is opened to take out the tofu. Then, just dip it in the seasoning and eat it.
【Jianshui Itinerary Planning】
1. Traffic
(1) Mengzi - Jianshui
Mengzi is very close to Jianshui, and it only takes more than one hour by train. After arriving at Jianshui Station, you can take bus No. 919 to the ancient city, but the driver will not drive until the bus is full. On average, you need to wait about 30 minutes each time. Be careful not to put coins into the box, the driver will collect the money one by one~
(2) Jianshui Ancient City - Seventeen-Arch Bridge
a. Take the urban-rural passenger transport (yellow + green seven-seater minivan) bound for Huangjiabao at Hongyun Bus Station, passing the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, 3 yuan/person.
b. Ride a shared bicycle, about 3 kilometers. (It is recommended to use this method in the morning and evening)
c.Take a taxi
2. Food
Tofu, grass sprouts, steam pot chicken, steamed pork ribs...
Personally, I think the food in Jianshui is very delicious, you can just go shopping and eat~~~
D3 Jianshui Ancient City—Zengji Banjing Tofu Factory—Lin’an Small Train
This morning we took shared bicycles for a stroll around the ancient city of Jianshui, and basically circled the ancient city. The ancient city at 6 o'clock in the morning and 12 midnight is very quiet, with few pedestrians and even yourself. Wearing headphones and playing your favorite music, let the breeze brush your cheeks, and the cool day will start~
【Daban Well】
【Zengji Banjing Tofu Square】
Jianshui's Internet celebrity tofu workshop directly connects the water pipe to the Daban well, and all tofu is made with well water, so the tofu tastes sweet and delicious. Every morning, his family will serve breakfast, with unlimited soy milk and bean curd (5 yuan/person). Notice! ! ! If you like to eat fried dough sticks with soy milk, you can buy fried dough sticks yourself and take them to his home. His family does not make fried dough sticks, but only buys soy products.
Regarding the production process of Jianshui tofu, I will also give you a portal.

【Lin'an Small Train】
Our trip is mainly to take pictures, and there are so many guides about the Lin'an train, Ye Guoxun will not do anything.
Tips for taking pictures:
1. There are a lot of tourists on the small train. Most of the time, if you want to avoid the crowd, you have to use upward shooting~ so, make full use of the beautiful flowers and plants along the road as the foreground. On the one hand the picture is clean, on the other hand there are no people.
2. Abandon the time to stop at the middle scenic spots and get off the bus to see the scenic spots, because only at this time when everyone goes down to watch the classics, we have the opportunity to make a concave shape in the empty carriage and take a close photo with the little train.
at last,
As we got on the train back to Kunming, the three-day trip to travel and photography came to an end.
Whether it is Mengzi or Jianshui, it is really a place where ethnic minorities gather.
In the future, I will definitely come to Jianshui again to eat delicious food and waste a good time.
