Riding the World’s First Cliffside Bullet Train: Flying at 1,200 Meters Above the Ground !

Hello everyone, welcome to my channel! Have you ever ridden a bullet train speeding along a cliff at an altitude of 1,200 meters? The tracks wind along steep mountain walls, with rolling clouds outside the window, lush primeval forests, and bottomless canyons. And in the distance, the faint outlines of ancient temple eaves— it feels like stepping into a real-life “Castle in the Sky.” This is the newly launched cliffside bullet train project at Dajue Mountain Scenic Area in Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province. Thrilling and unbelievable! Now, let’s embark on this journey through the clouds together! Right now, we’re at an ancient-style town at the foot of the mountain. We’ll need to pass through the town and take a cable car to the mountaintop before boarding the cliffside train. This ancient town is modeled after the urban style of the Northern Song Dynasty, featuring Song-style architecture— gray bricks and black tiles, upturned eaves, cobblestone-paved streets, and a stream running through the town, creating a classical ambiance of “small bridges, flowing water, and homes.” The town is nestled between mountains and water, surrounded by peaks and shrouded in mist, like a fairyland. Shops line both sides of the street, selling souvenirs and local snacks, making it convenient for tourists to rest and explore. It hasn’t rained much lately, so the riverbed is almost dry. But what a coincidence—it’s starting to rain now! The river will probably fill up soon, and it’ll look even prettier. Up ahead is the cable car station. The scenic area also offers rafting. Did you notice earlier how many tourists were carrying water scoops? They were all heading for the rafting—haha! Now we’re taking the cable car to the mountaintop. There aren’t many tourists today, so I have the cable car all to myself. The view from the cable car is stunning too. There are still some construction projects on the mountain. Wow, we can already see the train! Finally, the train is in sight—we’re about to board the cliffside bullet train! Each train has six carriages and can carry 56 passengers. I’m heading to the last carriage because the view will be better there— I can film the entire train. This is a Nezha-themed train—so cute! The train is moving now! Since the last carriage only had seats on the mountain side, it wasn’t ideal for filming the scenery. So I moved to the fourth carriage instead. As a sightseeing train, it doesn’t move very fast. The Dajue Mountain “Cliffside Bullet Train” project has a total investment of 1.3 billion yuan. By applying high-speed rail technology to tourist rail transit, it blends seamlessly with the natural landscape, allowing visitors to enjoy sightseeing from a kilometer above the ground. No strenuous hiking required— it offers an unprecedented sightseeing experience. It’s truly one-of-a-kind in the world. The total track length is 11.8 kilometers, with a maximum daily capacity of 25,000 passengers. It connects all the peaks and sub-attractions of Dajue Mountain Scenic Area. The entire route is full of ups and downs—thrilling and exciting! The full ride takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, with departures every 15-20 minutes. It’s fully electric, zero emissions, zero pollution, with strong climbing capabilities. Wow, the girl ahead is so brave— she’s leaning halfway out of the carriage to take photos! As someone with a fear of heights, I wouldn’t dare. I’ll just stretch my camera hand out the window. 😂 The cliffside train has four stops where passengers can get off to explore. But personally, aside from the third stop—Dajue Temple Station— I don’t think the other stops are worth visiting yet. Since the cliffside train just opened, many stations are still under construction, looking like worksites with not much scenery to see. Looking at these suspended tracks, are you, like me, starting to feel a little nervous? But don’t worry about the cliffside thrills— the train incorporates mature high-speed rail technology, steadily carrying you through the clouds. Otherwise, the passengers ahead wouldn’t look so relaxed! Outside the window is the vastness of a kilometer-high cliff, beneath your feet, a deep canyon, and mountain winds carrying the scent of pine. It feels like you could reach out and touch the drifting clouds. The tracks twist along the cliffs, sometimes disappearing into lush primeval forests, sometimes suspended over sheer drops. Like a silver dragon coiled atop the mountain peaks. No hiking, no climbing— just sit back in the comfortable carriage and take in the majesty and beauty of Dajue Mountain. I got off at one of the stops, and now I’ve moved to the front of the train. Now we’ve arrived at the third stop—Dajue Temple Station. See that building ahead? That’s Dajue Temple. There’s also a goddess statue here. On the way to Dajue Temple, you’ll pass a viewing platform: the South Heavenly Gate. It’s right up there. This pavilion was built directly into the mountain’s shape. From here, you can overlook Tianhu (Heavenly Lake). This is the South Heavenly Gate—quite magnificent! The wind is so strong—I feel like I might get blown away! Finally, we’ve reached Dajue Temple! Dajue Rock Temple is located inside a naturally formed granite cave, with three main halls: the Great Buddha Hall, the Ksitigarbha Hall, and the Guanyin Hall. The Great Buddha Hall is at the center of the cave. The cave itself is awe-inspiring, with Dajue Rock Temple nestled high in the mountains. Buddhist chants linger, and incense smoke swirls. Dajue Rock Temple was first built in the first year of the Xianhe era (326 AD) during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, making it over 1,700 years old. The Tang Dynasty monk—Great Master Dajue of Hangzhou’s Lingyin Temple—once retreated from worldly affairs and traveled here, practicing Zen and worshipping Buddha. After achieving enlightenment, he ascended to the Western Pure Land from here, attracting pilgrims from Jiangxi and Fujian provinces. Thus, the temple was named Dajue Rock Temple. Ahead, there’s also a suspended glass bridge— let’s go walk on it! The wind is so strong—the glass bridge is swaying a lot! I’d better not linger—I’ll cross quickly. On the western slope of Dajue Temple, there’s a fascinating cave where, according to legend, many scholars once studied—hence its name, the Reading Cave. The cave consists of two small stone chambers, perfect for climbing and exploring. Mountain weather is so unpredictable— just now, it was storming, but now it’s sunny! Now we’re following the boardwalk back to the train station to continue our cliffside train ride. Boarding now! We’ll take the last leg of the trip before heading back down the mountain. This one isn’t a Nezha-themed train.
