An old-fashioned Chinese steam locomotive, brand-new green train carriages, flower-adorned tracks, and vintage old factory buildings… the Railway Theme Park in Baqiao District, where the promotion was held, is a street park in Baqiao District that integrates leisure and entertainment. The highlight of the park is a "Time and Space Tour Train." Holding a vintage-style ticket and boarding the small train, you'll instantly be captivated by the interior of the carriage. Moving through the carriage, from ancient poems like "The winding Ba River, every step green with spring" to precious images of hardworking female textile workers, and then to the ever-changing development and vibrant vitality of Baqiao District, it's like taking a time machine through the ages. As the small train arrives at the exhibition hall, which has been transformed from a vintage cotton warehouse, the carefully arranged intangible cultural heritage and cultural creative product display area showcases 14 exquisite intangible cultural heritage traditional crafts and cultural creative products, reflecting the blend of ancient and modern culture, including Dizhai Xu Wenyue clay whistle making, Tang Sancai firing, and gold-plated ornaments… each piece shines brightly.
