On February 21, in Fenghuangzhou Citizen Park, Honggutan District, Nanchang, Jiangxi, a small antique sightseeing train carrying tourists slowly exited from Niuxing Station and ran back and forth along a 3.5-kilometer railroad track.

  This Niu Xing station, which has revived historical memory with a new look, is the terminal station of the first railway in Jiangxi, the Nanxun Railway. It has experienced the baptism of the Nanchang Uprising and the Anti-Japanese War.

  At the beginning of the New Year of the Ox, the reporter came to the Niuxing Station located at the head of Nanchang Bayi Bridge and on the shore of the Ganjiang River, recalling the history of the beacon of the Nanchang Uprising and witnessing the great changes of the city over a century.

  Speaking of Niuxing Station, Nanxun Railway cannot be ignored.

Nanxun Railway is one of the early railways built in China. Since the construction started in January 1907, it has been suspended several times. After ten years of hardship, it was not completed until May 1916.

It starts from Jiujiang on the south bank of the Yangtze River in the north to Niuhang on the north bank of the Ganjiang River in the south, with a total length of 128 kilometers.

  As the first railway station in Nanchang, Niuxing Station was once an important transportation gateway in Nanchang.

The troops that participated in the August 1 Nanchang Uprising in 1927 got off from here and crossed the Ganjiang River via the ferry to enter Nanchang City.

  The place where the uprising army crossed the river was the starting place. Now, relying on the old Niuxing station site, the Niuxing Station and the Nanchang Uprising Exhibition Hall have been built, which has become a special exhibition hall reflecting the history of the Niuxing Station on the Nanxun Railway.

  Today, Nanchang, known as the "Hero City", has built a riverside landscape belt with Jiangxi industrial themes such as railways and wharf culture around Niuxing Station.

Tourists can take a sightseeing train to explore the city scenery along the way, recall the past and feel the vicissitudes of the century-old railway station.
