Where is the Jiayang train?

The scenic spot is adjacent to Leshan-Yibin section of Chengdu-Chongqing Ring Expressway and 2 13 National Road, covering an area of 38 square kilometers. Together with the Alsophila Lake scenic spot and Jasper Du Xiang Resort in southern Sichuan, it forms the tourism loop of the Alsophila Lake in Jiayang.

Jiayang train was built in 1958. The total length of Bashi Railway is 19.8 km, the gauge is 762mm, there are 6 tunnels, and the arc line is 109. With the progress and development of science and technology, clean, fast, beautiful and comfortable diesel locomotives and electric locomotives have replaced steam locomotives that have been running on railways for hundreds of years.

The normal operation of steam locomotives in the world has almost disappeared. Due to special reasons, or the need of coal transportation, or the travel requirements of people in mountainous areas, the small train in Jiayang Coal Mine in Leshan, Sichuan has been running normally, thus becoming the only narrow-gauge steam train with normal passengers in the world.
