Let's take a look at the main stations along chengdu-kunming railway:
Chengdu Railway Station-Chengdu East Railway Station-Chengdu South Railway Station-Meishan Station-Emei Station-Hanyuan Station-Puxiong Station-Xichang Station-Miyi Station-Panzhihua Station-Guangtong North Station-Kunming Station
Among them, four parts are particularly worth visiting, from north to south:
1 Chengdu-Emei
Needless to say, Chengdu is a popular tourist destination. Here, I would like to focus on Pengshan, Meishan, Leshan and other cities that chengdu-kunming railway passed after leaving Chengdu. These cities are all covered by Chengdu Plain. Different from the prosperity of Chengdu, life here is leisurely and comfortable, and there are countless foods. If you are not in a hurry, Fish Sauce recommends choosing a city to live for a few days and feel the slow life here.
In addition to natural landscape and cultural heritage, it also passes through some geological wonders, such as red land and mysterious stone pillar forest. The red land is full of gorgeous colors, and Shizhulin seems to be a fantastic scene from fairyland.
2 Emei-Puxiong
There are few ethnic communities in the place where Fish Sauce grew up, so the culture of ethnic minorities has a fatal attraction to me. Passengers on the Chengdu-Kunming line let me deeply understand the true feelings of harmonious coexistence of multi-ethnic cultures. Passengers on the train wore traditional costumes of Yi, Bai and Naxi nationalities, and turned the carriage into an exhibition hall. Their unique folk customs make me feel the charm of multiculturalism. Every nation has its own unique customs and traditions, and every detail fascinates me.
In Jiajiang County, Leshan City, chengdu-kunming railway will cross Qingyi River and cross the east side of Emei Mountain. Then I met the Dadu River in Shawan, and walked along with this turbulent river until I parted ways in Wusihe Town (Hanyuan Station). Among them, it will cross the most difficult section in the construction of chengdu-kunming railway. Railway soldiers dig tunnels on granite cliffs everywhere, and passengers can see the grand occasion of trains constantly shuttling between darkness and light, as well as the unfathomable Dadu River Canyon on both sides.
3 Puxiong-Xichang
Chengdu-Kunming Line makes Fish Sauce truly feel what is "local China". If the China Railway is compared to a tape, then the high-speed rail is only one side. Between hundreds of kilometers of high-speed railway station, dotted railway stations are the other side of China Railway. These are also a part of life, perhaps a real part that you have never touched.
After Wusihe Town, it is the boundary of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture. Puxiong, a small town pulled by the railway, from which countless Yi people climbed the train and left the poor Liangshan for the outside world. In a sense, Puxiong Station is the "cosmic center" of the Yi version. From here, chengdu-kunming railway will cross the Great Liangshan Mountain.

4 Xichang-Panzhihua
During this journey, the railway runs along the Anning River, sometimes winding and sometimes going straight. You can see one wind turbine after another, densely distributed in Anning Valley. From Yonglang to Miyi and then to Yanbian, the railway bid farewell to Anning River and entered the embrace of Yalong River.
The magic salt well along the train sightseeing route is a traditional salt-making method which uses the evaporation of underground salt water to obtain salt. When the train passes through these salt wells, I can see several meters high salt towers and white salt fields, as if I had entered a pure and magical world. The unique historical atmosphere and aesthetic feeling are intoxicating and people can't help but immerse themselves in the long river of time.
