Alshan Railway Station

　　Introduction      Alshan Railway Station was constructed in 1937. It is a building in an Oriental style, featuring Japanese architectural design, and is a two-story structure made from a combination of bricks, wood, granite, and reinforced concrete. The outer walls on the first floor are surrounded by a random rubble wall built with granite, and the roof is coated with ochre-colored cement.     It is probably the most beautiful among China’s small railway stations, somewhat resembling a small station in Switzerland. Watching the sunset from the station at dusk is a truly atmospheric experience. Today, the entire railway station is well preserved and still in active use. It not only has ornamental value but also holds certain historical significance.
