Three Global Starlight Rail Trails Transformed into Galactic Corridors

By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

The world’s breathtaking natural wonder, the Blue Tears, shines like stars in the sea, creating a dreamy and astonishing spectacle. Now, this stunning Blue Tears beauty has also appeared on roads. There are three starlight trails around the world, including railways, pathways, and bike lanes that have been turned into glowing avenues at night, each making visitors feel as if they are walking under a galaxy of stars—radiant and beautiful.

1. Singapore – Rail Corridor
 
The Singapore Rail Corridor is one of the urban redevelopment projects recently planned by Singapore’s Urban Redevelopment Authority. It revives the railway that ceased operations in 2011, transforming a 100-meter stretch into a starlight trail, turning an abandoned site into a romantic and popular nighttime landmark.

2. Poland – Glow-in-the-Dark Bike Lane
 
This glow-in-the-dark bike lane, located in a small northern town in Poland, transforms a cycling path into a dazzling Milky Way-like avenue. The lane was created by TPA Instytut Badań Technicznych Sp. z o.o., using artificially engineered materials that absorb sunlight and emit light. It can be fully charged over the course of a day and maintain its glow for up to ten hours.

3. Netherlands – Van Gogh Starry Night Path
