Originally, there were no roads at Huangsha River. The green river divided the communities on both banks. To cross the river, people had to climb mountain paths, go around to the back of the hills, and use the railway bridge behind the mountains to cross via the train tracks. The mountain paths were rugged, and the railway was also dangerous. Passenger and freight vehicles had to travel over the mountains from Tianhe Village through Laoshengou to reach the train station. With steep mountains and deep valleys, the roads were extremely difficult to navigate. Whenever it rained, people could only sigh in frustration at the impassable roads. In 1991, Huizhou County started construction on the Huangsha River Bridge and the road from Tianhe Village to Jialing Town. This shortened the distance between Tianhe and Jialing District by over 10 kilometers, not only making travel more convenient for residents but also saving a significant amount of indirect costs. Crossing the Huangsha River Bridge and rounding a small hill up ahead, the view suddenly opens up, revealing yet another bridge — the Huangsha River Railway Bridge. Here, the majestic Baoji-Chengdu Railway spans the Jialing River, crossing from the left bank to the right bank. It continues through the mountains and valleys, passing through Jialing Town and Yuguan Township in Huizhou County all the way to Chengdu, Sichuan.
