Honghe Transportation


Honghe-Railway.jpgRailway 

The Dianyue Railway (Kunming-Henei) is a main railway in Honghe Prefecture. It was built by Frenchmen in 1908. It’s one of the only two narrow-gauge railways in the worle. It’s also the only international railway in Yunnan at present. It connects Yunnan with some countries in Southeast Asia. The train departs from the Kunming Northern Station and reaches Henei in Vietnam, via Kuaiyuan, Mengzi and Hekou. It’s 460 kilometers from Kuming to Hekou. The train runs the course in 17 hours. Howerever, 10 hours is enough to runs it by bus. One wonder in“Eighteen wonders in Yunnan” is that a railway leads abroad instead of home. The railway referred to is the narrow-gauge railway in Yunnan.

 

In addition, there is another railway in Honghe Prefecture. It’s the Mengbao Railway (Mengzi-Baoxiu). It starts from the Bisezhai Railway Staion which is on the Kunhe Railway and ends in the Baoxiu Rialway station, via Mengzi, Jieji, Jianshui and Shiping. The overall length of the railway is 142 kilometers. If you take the train, you can visit one of the earliest railway stations in modern Chinese history- the Bisezhai Railway Station by the way.

Tips:

1. The railway from Kunming to Hekou passes Honghe. Howerver, there are too many stops in the railway. The whole journey probably needs 17 hours. It only takes 10 hours to finish the distance by bus. Therefore, taking the train wastes too much time. It’s inadvisable.

 

2. The trains moving on the Kunhe Railway and the Mengbao Railway are Train 313/4(North Kunming-Hekou), Train 311/2(North Kunming-Kaiyuan), Train 501/2(Kunming-Mengzi) and Train 681/2 (Kaiyuan-Hekou).
