Slow Train Journey 5612 Times Searching for Old Chongqing

Is there time to take the last passenger train on the old Chengdu-Chongqing Railway Slowly look at the old ferry port, old teahouses, old streets Route🗺️ The Chengdu-Chongqing Railway departs from Chongqing South Station and winds along the Yangtze River, passing through Dadukou, Tongguanyi, Jiangjin, and about two and a half hours later arrives at Baisha Station. Walk to the ferry port and wait for the ferryman to cross the Yangtze River, and you will reach Old Chongqing. Timetable🕰️ 5612 from Chongqing South 10:20→Baisha 12:33 5611 from Baisha 15:57→Chongqing South 18:50 *Since it is a single-track railway, delays are common Tickets🎟️ Chongqing South Station ticket windows and self-service ticket machines Opening hours 9:00-11:30 18:00-19:20 *The South Station window can issue red tickets, which are not reimbursement vouchers Return trip on-board ticket supplement *Thermal paper ticket supplement machine *No online ticket sales, small stations cannot be checked Train Composition🚃🚃 All hard seat cars, 3 hard sleeper cars as hard seats, 4 study carriages (Picture 5, with bookshelves and desks), 5 business negotiation areas (Picture 4, market on the train), 6-10 hard seat carriages Ferry🚢 After leaving Baisha Station, follow the small path on the left, go through the culvert, up the stairs to the main road, then down the opposite big earth slope to the ferry port. A boat every half hour, comes over to pick up and drop off passengers and then immediately returns, ¥5. Baisha Ancient Town🏚️ After getting off the boat, go up and to the left is Baisha Ancient Town, which still preserves stilted buildings and other ancient architecture. It takes about 1 hour to stroll and take photos. Surprises can also be found in the small town to the right, where locals love to drink tea and play cards, and the streets are full of small teahouses. Saw an old grandma (Picture 9) dressing a cat in fur, walked over and she was very happy and even picked it up for me to take a photo, really really warm.
