Bise Village Review

Bisezhai is located in Mengzi City, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is one of the oldest railway stations in China and a prosperous place 100 years ago. It has a long history. Bisezhai is located 10 kilometers north of Mengzi County, southeast Yunnan, and the Tropic of Cancer passes through the border. It is near the Pearl Lake Changqiao Sea in the southeast of Liao. The scenery is beautiful. The surrounding residential areas are Bisezhai Village. There are 174 households, living in Han, Yuan, Miao, Hui, Zhuang and other ethnic groups. There are many attractions. Bisezhai Station is a key cultural relics protection unit in Yunnan Province, which has important historical value for studying the history of the Yue-Yue railway and the history of China's railway. The Bisezhai area basically maintained its original appearance when it opened in 1910, with more than 30 historical buildings, unique local residential styles, and high protection and tourism development value.

This place is good, there are not many tourists, and there are not many commercial development. Many historical relics remain: Chase, water tower, station room, train station clock, police station, French staff's dormitories, Coles hotels, Redlands tennis courts, and even a vine planted by the French.

After 4 years, I went to Mengzi Bise Village, Yunnan, and found that there were too many changes, some buildings were demolished, and new things were built. For example, this Bisezhai Railway Art Sculpture was built later, and it had the altitude of Yunnan Railway at that time. ​ Also, the small yellow building is old, but some houses around it have been demolished.

Bisezhai is located in Caoba Town, Mengzi County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is one of the earliest railway stations in China's modern history. It has infiltrated the blood and sweat of many Chinese laborers and witnessed a period of history. The station still retains the French railway room, hanging on the station wall with the weather-beaten clock, the English Paris (Paris) is still clearly visible, reminiscent of the bustling of the year. The 1903 Constitution of the Sino-French Association for the Rule of Railways in the Vietnamese Republic gave France the right to build and manage the railway. Construction of the Yue-Viet Railway began in 1903. The railway crossed the alpine valley of Yunnan and penetrated the blood and sweat of many Chinese laborers. It was opened to Bisezhai in 1909 and opened to the whole line in 1910. Bisezhai is a century-old station of the Yue-Viet Railway. This side railway station is a must-see for train fans and photographers. In addition to the yellow old houses on the side of the railway, there are many old buildings on both sides of the railway, including the cattle house of the former Frenchman, the stationmaster, the staff canteen, and the bar. This place was not only busy, but also a place where foreigners gathered. Now there is a wooden map showing the remains of the day in the villages on both sides of the railway. You can search for the imprint of the year in the villages according to the map. At present, Bisezhai Station is still in operation, and there is a chance to chat with the staff here. This is one of the earliest railway stations in China's modern history. The train can reach Kunming from the north and Vietnam from the south.

开车来到蒙自碧色寨山下，就不给开上山了，保安说约3年前就搞了停车场，要买票坐观光车才能上去，否则就只能走路。​我4年前来过，汽车直接开到山上的村子的，现在这么搞，就是想多收观光车费，我本来不想上去了的，一看到景区有3公里，就走着玩吧，才走几步，就看到一大片芦苇，拍照很好看。

到了蒙自，要去网红碧色寨车站看看。因为疫情游人并不多。这里是中国近代史上最早的的火车站之一，火车经这里北上可以到达昆明，南下可以直达越南。有个小的展览馆可以看看，了解这段历史。这里也是冯小刚拍摄电影“芳华”的地方，值得来看看。

走路上山，当然不按摆渡车的线路走了，所以我走到了碧色寨的最后面，是个村子。看到下面有很多停车位，感觉还是可以来到这里来的，如果认识路的话，就不用买票坐摆渡车了。​这村子的房子明显是用石头重新搞的，应该是纳入了景区的一部分，连碧色寨观音庙都有了。
