Former site of Chuansha Station on Shangchuan Railway

In 1921, Huang Yanpei, Zhang Zhihe, Gu Lanzhou and others raised funds to establish the Shangchuan Transportation Company and laid the light rail railway from Qingning Temple to Chuansha. The "Feihong Fudao" was built in June 1926 as a dry bridge for the passage of small trains in Chuansha at that time. In 1925, the Shangchuan Railway connected Qingning Temple to Chuansha. It was demolished in 1975 and the "Chuansha Railway Station Site" was replicated on the original site. It is located at the entrance of the Chuansha Martyrs Cemetery, with a platform paved with green bricks, surrounded by wooden fences, and preserved with steam locomotives from the 1930s. In June 2013, the People's Government of Chuansha New Town merged "Chuansha Railway Station" and "Feihong Fudao" into one scenic spot in Chuansha
