The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway is the first trunk railway independently built by the Chinese. In 1909, Zhan Tianyou created the "Herringbone Railway", which moved by the mountain, perfectly interpreting the Taoist philosophy of "the movement of the anti-Tao".
A hundred years later, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou moving line park will connect the four major districts with eight moving lines to form a green main axis linking the 9-kilometer city and the park. Give strong momentum to the world-class science, education and innovation center. With the pliable power of the thread, it dredges the metropolitan context, breaks the invisible barriers, and reshapes the close connection between people. Towards a new century!
