Sugan Lake, located in Tuanjie Township, Aksai Kazakh Autonomous County, Gansu Province, is known to local herders as "the tears of the fairy". Located on the shore of Sugan Lake, Sugan Lake Station ushered in the third Spring Festival since the opening of the Dunhuang Railway, compared with the people coming and going during the Spring Festival at other stations, Sugan Lake Station is particularly deserted, and no one can even be seen except for the railway workers along the line. Suganhu Station is 2880 meters above sea level and is the last railway station in the Lanzhou Railway Bureau of Dunhuang Railway. With its high altitude, thin oxygen, strong wind and sand, drought and little rain, it is a veritable no-man's land.

"A wind a year, from spring to winter, strong winds, small winds every day," the station staff ridiculed the local bad weather. Winters here are cold and long, with the lowest temperatures reaching minus 25 degrees Celsius, almost dripping into ice, and the Gobi Desert is constantly windy in the winter, and it takes less than ten minutes to work outdoors to freeze thoroughly. Although the station is small, the safety responsibility shouldered is not small, Suganhu Station is a non-business station, and the three employees of the station are mainly responsible for the actual reporting of the Jiaokou Station, the organization of construction operations and the reception and dispatch of trains. Here, they not only have to overcome the challenges brought by the harsh natural environment, but also overcome the lonely heart, guarding the safety of trains in the vast Gobi, and the lines are smooth.
