After riding in a retro bell car, I know what a "ghost train" is
Xiao Wang, a friend who was traveling in Beijing not long ago, told me that she was suspected of encountering a supernatural event. At the beginning of the lights, the street was empty, and the whole field was only her and a speeding train.

The bloody red color of the car, the absence of passengers, coupled with the refraction of red lanterns and night, makes people wonder if there is a driver in the driver's seat. Thinking about it, Xiao Wang felt that there were several pairs of non-existent eyes in the car, and was throwing a warm invitation to her to 'like you to come'. "Can some people see things that others can't?" In short, it all happened.

Coincidentally, it was not a new media article, and on another night, the little shuai who had just driven into the South Second Ring Road also had a romantic encounter with the mysterious train. In his early years, he drove past uninhabited cemeteries, and his car's radar alerted him to pedestrians moving around him, so be careful to avoid them. Now, a new test found him.

If the function of public transportation is to send people away, there is no doubt that this fast-moving red lantern almost sent Xiaoshuai away. And humans need a spiritual anchor to confirm whether they are above ground or underground, and the Jing A license plate is to Xiaoshuai what Xiao Gyro is to "Inception". Looking at the new energy green card, Xiaoshuai is convinced that he is living in the present, after all, the prefecture cannot keep pace with the times.
Of course, this is not an urban legend, but a tourist activity in Beijing, taking the original bell car of old Beijing to take you to explore Beijing in depth. At present, the route has a daytime version, a night version and a snack night version, a diangdiang car, and what species are there?
In fact, it is the nickname of the tram in old Beijing. In the early years, trams drove in prosperous areas, often encountered pedestrians occupying the road, because there was no horn, drivers stepped on the bell button next to their feet, through the sound of "bells", remind pedestrians to dodge vehicles.
In the early years, drivers still drove standing up, and today's antique bell cars, except for the lack of railroad tracks and the "big braid" for electricity, are almost modeled after Beijing's first tram. The body is made of turquoise and true vermilion matte paint, and the body is decorated with rivets.
Golden curtains, brown-red floors, wooden hand-held rings, and vintage red patent leather seats are all antique and beautiful. Sitting inside, who am I if it weren't for the advertising alert on the display? I am the Republic of China Yiping who did not even have a Sunday, and was riding a bell car to work.
Pay attention, the overhead lamp is still a hollow antique palace lamp
At the rear of the cabin there is also a mock cockpit, antique instrument panel and wooden cranks
The bell car hung with big red lanterns at night may be a jump scare for passers-by, thinking that there is now an outfield in the escape room. For the people in the car, it is a roaming of ancient and modern, and the wide and magnificent scenery of Chang'an Avenue is penetrating you and me.
Efficient check-in experience with a glimpse of Beijing's classic architecture
If you don't think it's fun enough, if you want to enjoy the characteristics while feeling the night, the old Beijing bell car is waiting for you at the front door. The carriage has a touch of palace style, and the roof is decorated with imitation bell tower buildings, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Beijing and tasting old Beijing food. "Freshly boiled sour plum soup, roasted duck rolls, pea yellow, aiwowo, donkey rolling, adzuki bean cold cake, if you can still sing K, this is the pure K of movement."
In addition, antique bell cars are not only available in Beijing, but other cities are also blowing this retro style.
Not long ago, Xiaomei, the hospital office, ran to Cao Cao Gaoling to see if someone really sent headache medicine to remember Meng De, and on the day that Henan in-depth tourism ended, Xiaomei met a bell car in Luoyang.
In the early years, Xiaomei had seen photos of Tang monks driving and smoking, thinking it was P, and now she has also seen drivers in Hanfu driving bells. For a while, Xiaomei thought that the posture of getting on the car and stepping was wrong, and she strayed into a different dimension. However, all three turned out to be true.
Presumably, you will definitely ask, Hanfu is wide and flowing, will it affect the driver's sight and operation? Chen Mingming, a car captain who loves Hanfu culture, explained that in order not to affect driving, she had already fixed her long sleeves with her arms and served everyone wholeheartedly.
In the process of collecting information, I found that antique bell cars have a different evolution in Shandong, and it is easy for citizens to go out and be happy. In the past, people would hang a long string of cans at the back of the wedding car to create a festive sound of firecrackers and go to the wedding hall. Now, you can customize the wedding bell car, arrange the effect you want, and pick up your pig and dog friends, three aunts and seven uncles to the wedding scene in one car.
Five words, low-carbon and windy.
So this year, I had a new wish, which was to write well and make money, rent a "tie the knot" bell car for my CP, and have a (what I unilaterally think) of the century.
In fact, trams have been in China for a century. In the past, the main means of transportation were palanquins, horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws. The Qing government introduced trams in 1899 to build a network of tracks, but they were demolished by the Boxers who entered Beijing. It was not until December 17, 1924, that Beijing officially opened its first tram line for city dwellers. From Qianmen to Xizhimen, there are 14 stations with a total length of 7 kilometers. The Morning Post wrote about the pomp and circumstance: "After the ceremony, hundreds of Chinese and foreign guests rode eight floats. The passengers on the bus were extremely crowded, and there were many people along the way. ”
At that time, rickshaw rides cost about 1 dime each time, and bell cars sold tickets by mileage, and only four cents for short trips, plus a combination of monthly pass season passes, a fast and affordable novelty, was very popular when it was launched. There is such an oil poem, which vividly describes the scene of passengers waiting for the bell car at that time: "When standing at the head and waiting for the car for two or three, the eyes look through the neck and straight; In order to save money, six or seven corners, like a baby looking forward to milk. ”
Waiting for the car is a problem, how to get in the car is another. Maybe you have often seen footage of people hanging on the car in action movies, which is a daily routine in history, and due to the excessive number of passengers, there are often "hanging tickets". Some passengers hang on the rear of the car, while others use their core muscle groups to stand calmly on their sideways.
Later, why did there be fewer trams? Because the times always move forward smoothly, new means of transportation will continue to appear. Trams appeared, trolleybuses appeared, trams declined, buses appeared, trams withdrew from the big stage. There is no doubt that at a certain time, trams have indeed greatly improved the convenience of people's travel.
Nowadays, there are more antique bell cars, which are inseparable from the promotion of "urban tourism". It not only uses a "retro" as an attraction gimmick, but also condenses the popular routes of major scenic spots, allowing you to better travel with special forces.
When asked how people who have experienced antique bell cars feel, the word "crossing" frequently appears in their mouths. "It feels like I've crossed over, it's so peculiar."
The sense of atmosphere is a kind of enchantment of turnip greens, some people taste the atmosphere of the ghost train, and some people taste the atmosphere of the time train. Riding the bell car, we travel back to the 'past' in the 'present', and in the future, when we reminisce about the experience of that day, it is also a journey. One thing after another that will make people taste is to hang the carrots that can be eaten in front of you, and then go down. As for antique bell cars, will they decline? It's hard to say. But I think that years later, facing the moon, a child will always think back to the festive night when his parents took him to see the antique bell car.
