Chinese Daily Photos of 2023!!

Continued...



This photo taken on July 1, 2023 shows Wang Junbing, captain of the cross-river vehicle ferry linking Nixi Town and Juexi Town in Xuzhou District of Yibin in southwest China's Sichuan Province, sailing on the river. The cross-river vehicle ferry service that links Nixi Town and Juexi Town in Xuzhou District of Yibin started in May of 1992. This ferry service has been one of the most important transportation methods for local people living nearby on both sides of Minjiang River.

As the Nixi Minjiang grand bridge opened to traffic here on Monday, the 31-year-old ferry service also ended the same day. The opening of the Nixi Minjiang grand bridge has broken through the transportation bottleneck for over 450,000 people living nearby. (All photos by Xinhua/Jiang Hongjing)

Each morning at 7:03 a.m., a local train departs from the Xinglong Railway Station in the rural area of Chengde in northern China's Hebei province and heads for downtown Chengde. The next three-hour journey, covering 101 kilometers, will see Train 6433 call at every one of the 12 stations along the route, earning it the nickname "slow train."

Most of this train's passengers are farmers living along the route who wish to sell their homegrown produce at higher prices in urban Chengde. They board the train carrying baskets and bags filled with freshly plucked vegetables, fruits, and other farm produce. The train has remained in operation with fairly low fares for more than three decades for the single purpose of supporting farmers and helping them improve their living.

The full fare of the journey is 6.5 yuan (89 cents), and for most passengers who board the train halfway through, one single trip ticket only costs 2 yuan, affordable to those who commute every day.
