KUNMING, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- Xiaowandong railway station of Dali-Lincang Railway will serve passengers during the Spring Festival travel rush for the first time this year. The station, surrounded by mountains, canyons and rivers, is located on the bank of the Lancang River in Xiaowandong Township of Nanjian Yi Autonomous County, about 80 kilometers from downtown Nanjian. Due to the complex terrain, half of the station is built in Xinhua Tunnel and the other half is built on Lancang River grand bridge.
The railway station was put into operation last November, benefiting the life of people living nearby. The establishment of the station improves the convenience for people in medical treatment, education and employment; while also activates the transportation between the surrounding area and the outside, boosting the rural revitalization of the area.
