Mingjue Station is an elevated three-story side station. The overhead on the first floor looks tall and beautiful.

There is a small parking lot next to the station. Stop the car and we enter the station.

The platform is very high and you can overlook the scenery

Take the corridor to the platform. From this angle, you can see the S9 trains coming and going. If you come specially for this Shijiu Lake Sea Train, you can take the subway from Nanjing South Railway Station and change at Xiangyu South Railway Station. The whole fare is 9 yuan. The most beautiful scenery of this train is the Shijiu Lake Sea Plank Road between Mingjue Station and Tuanjie Wei.

sense of depth

The transparent platform, the lighting on the roof in the middle of the platform is both practical and design.

Come to the end of the platform and see the extended bridge, the wireless extension of tracks and air lines, and the rich streamlined sense of lines.

When the train arrived at the station, we boarded this sea train, which is said to be the same model as "Spirited Away".

The design of the train is very humane.

There were not many people on the train, so we could find a window seat at will and enjoy the scenery of Shijiu Lake outside the window through the window. Excited, I did not honestly take photos from my position, but stood by the door and took photos through the glass window. Shijiu Lake in February is not in the sky, but has a different scene from that in summer.

The scene like an ocean is now a lake turning into a river. The shallow water surface and lake beaches, swamps, ravines and distant villages form another picture.

Look through the glass at our tracks and the carriageway that runs alongside us. The Shijiu Lake Bridge is wonderfully designed. The track bridge and the highway bridge are arranged in parallel. The track bridge is arranged between the left and right highway bridges. The three bridges are constructed in parallel. Two middle zone openings are arranged on the highway bridge. The highway bridge and the track bridge are arranged at the middle zone openings. The longitudinal plane of the highway bridge and the track bridge are consistent to achieve level crossing.

Looking at the vast lake here in summer, the water and sky meet, and the mist is vast. It should feel like a train driving on the sea. From December to April of the following year, there is another dry season. Most of the lake bottom is facing the sky, and the simple and clean picture of the lake and water surfaces meeting gives a desolate beauty in the heart. When appreciating these things in front of me, there is a faint sadness.

The snake mountain no further away

The driving speed is neither rapid nor slow. It takes more than ten minutes to reach the south end from the northern end of Shijiu Lake. This is the view on the south bank of Shijiu Lake, with the tall fir forest on the side of the dam. The willows by the lake are clearly visible at this time. In summer, these trees sway in the water, looking very charming.

Crossing the surface of Shijiu Lake, approaching Tuanjianwei Station, and entering Gaochun District. It can be seen from the fertile fields and ponds that Gaochun District is a rich land of fish and rice.

We did not leave the station at Tuanjianwei Station, but switched to the other side and took the reverse train back to Mingjue Station to pick up the train and continue driving around the lake.

The plan to cross Shijiu Lake on a train was realized with just 2 yuan. The distance between Mingjue Station and Tuanjie Wei is 18 kilometers, which is the longest distance between Nanjing stations. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Shijiu Lake outside the window in almost 15 minutes. The S9 train was opened to traffic in 2017, connecting Nanjing's Jiangning, Lishui and Gaochun Districts. The train runs back and forth between Xiangyu South Station and Gaochun Station. The journey takes about 36 minutes, greatly shortening the travel time from Nanjing City to Gaochun District. Taking the train to Shijiu Lake on weekends to view the lake scenery, it became a breeze to eat fresh river food.

In February, although I didn't see the "Sky Realm" of Shijiu Lake, I also experienced a different scene in Shijiu Lake this season. Your next trip may be a summer day! If you don't make plans, everything will follow fate. Beautiful places and favorite places will be scenic all year round, let alone this ever-changing Shijiu Lake?
