1. Shanzili Station

Shanzili Station is referred to as the “unreachable station” by writer Liu Kechang — a tiny station nestled in a village seemingly cut off from the rest of the world. Aside from the occasional regional train speeding by, it continues to quietly serve the few daily passengers even after the railway’s electrification and renovation.

An observation deck was built on the open space outside the station, offering a bird’s-eye view of the trains and the station itself. From here, you can watch the trains glide through Shanzili Station and gaze at the spectacular views in the distance. Strolling along the wooden platform, you’ll be enveloped in the tranquil atmosphere of this rarely visited place, and it’s easy to fall in love with this hidden paradise.
