Move over, winter resorts – there’s a new seasonal star in northeast China! 🚂 The Chinese Eastern Railway Museum in Hailin City’s Hengdaohezi Town is winning hearts with its snowy charm and industrial-era nostalgia. Visitors are flocking to this century-old locomotive depot, now transformed into a cultural landmark, to snap photos of its iconic semicircular railway sheds and Gothic-style church dusted with powdery snow.
Built on the original site of the Middle East Railway’s largest eastern-era depot, the museum offers a retro time capsule perfect for Instagram’s vintage filters. ❄️ History buffs geek out over rare steam engines, while architecture lovers admire the \"industrial cathedral\" vibe of preserved workshops.
