Make a flower-viewing trip by steam train

The rapeseed flowers in fields along the route of a small steam train in Qianwei County, Leshan City of Sichuan Province come into blossom in March, opening a year-round flower-viewing tour. It is a great fun to take the narrow-gauge steam train to view the beautiful scenery of various kinds of flowers in different seasons: rapeseed, peach and plum blossoms in March, tungoiltree flowers in April, canna flowers between May and October, and lotus and marigold between July and October. The historic train line was built by Jiayang Coal Mine in 1958 between Bajiagou and Shixi to deliver coal and supplies. [Photo from Xinhua/Translated by Zhang Junmian]
