Shiweitang Station Document

2023-06-07

Shiweitang( Chinese: 石围塘) has been a train station since Qing dynasty. As one of the earliest rail in China, it had set the first rail system in Guangzhou.With Guangzhou’s development, this rail was abandoned since 1992 and finally stopped the service in 2023.

When I was in academy, this station was one of my secret base. walking by the rail gave me a special experience. I took a lot pics in 4 years, for it was said that this rail gotta be removed, I decided to choose and upload them.

Maybe I will make a book about this line, for it seems has a lots of stories to tell.

Most of these pics were taken by 135 films. But I also shoot with 120 films by 6×6.
