The winding road stretches along the Dadu River, setting off against the magnificent canyon scenery, attracting many vehicles to stop at the viewing areas. Tourists got out of their cars one after another to take pictures, freezing this magnificent landscape. Entering the scenic area, the steep mountains and rapid water flow outline a grand and spectacular picture, and the lush vegetation adds more vitality. Tourists strolled along the plank road, stopping from time to time to enjoy the scenery and recording the beautiful views with their mobile phones.

Each exhibit tells that magnificent history, attracting tourists to immerse themselves in it. "Visiting the Railway Soldier Museum deeply touched me," said Li Mingmao, a tourist from Chengdu, with emotion. "We deeply admire the heroic deeds and selfless dedication of our predecessors.
