Beijing Summer Nights: Where Trains Roar Above & People Dance Below | Jun-Jul 2023

30 June – 9 July 2023, Beijing. Several evenings in a row, lingering at the intersection of the North 4th Ring Road and the old Beijing–Zhangjiakou Railway—just watching, casually filming. A short stroll from Tsinghua's East Gate. Back in my university days, this area was still wasteland. I remember cycling to the old Qinghua Yuan Railway Station nearby on a trip to Gubeikou Great Wall. I had no idea this place would change so much. ——— A scene both dreamlike and sci-fi. Above: Subway Line 13 roaring past, carriages flashing in the dark. Below: North 4th Ring Road—endless traffic, engine hum, headlights streaking like the city's arteries. Between: the newly transformed Beijing–Zhangjiakou Railway Heritage Park. People singing, dancing, jogging, strolling, just sitting on benches, staring into space. Three speeds. Three sounds. Three layers, stacked. ——— This is the Beijing–Zhangjiakou Railway Heritage Park—a century-old line reborn. On June 29, 2023, Phase One opened: from Qinghua East Road north to the North 4th Ring Road, 1.2 kilometers. Once a railway barrier, now a city "stitch." Eleven gray pillars beneath the viaduct have become a "history gallery," painted with "Suzhou numerals" marking every station from Xizhimen to Badaling—counting symbols introduced by Jeme Tien‑yow. The design team's goal: to make history "visible culture." Twelve themed gardens: Crossing Memory Garden, Jeme Tien‑yow Memorial Garden, Wilderness Memory Garden—strung together like a necklace by a single track. The old railway bridge over the 4th Ring Road is now a steel廊, with a row of benches on the west side—the "Sunset Living Room." At dusk, people sit, feet dangling over traffic, watching the sunset fade behind the Western Hills. ——— Nearby: Qinghua Yuan Railway Station. Built in 1910, designed by Jeme Tien‑yow. In 1960, to make way for Tsinghua's expansion, the tracks shifted 800 meters east; the old station became a freight depot. In 2016, with the new high‑speed line, it closed. Renovated and reopened in 2023. Its plaque—"Qinghua Yuan Station" in Jeme's own calligraphy—is the only original station sign from the Beijing–Zhangjiakou line still intact. That station I cycled to as a student—now part of the heritage park. ——— I came here several evenings in a row. Sat in the "Sunset Living Room," watching the sky darken, watching subway trains pass one after another, watching people dance in circles below. Families with children came to see the trains. Couples leaned against railings for selfies. Elderly in wheelchairs were pushed slowly along. Line 13 roared past, loud—but strangely, it wasn't noise. All those sounds layered together became the soundtrack of these summer evenings. ——— Where do we begin to understand a city? With its old and new—century‑old railway sleepers, silver subway cars. With its up and down—trains above roaring past, people below singing and dancing. With what changes and what stays—wasteland in memory, now the "Sunset Living Room." #慢下来看世界 #用摄影在街头记录时代 #京张铁路 #城市之眼寻找美 #后工业景观 #城市更新 #发现城市新角落 #城市漫步计划 #发现生活中的可可爱爱 #把生活拍出电影感 #工业遗产 #建筑与城市规划 #艺术 #听一个城市的声音 #北京 #北四环 #13号线 #清华园车站 #落日客厅 #SlowDownSeeTheWorld #DocumentingEra #BeijingZhangjiakouRailway #UrbanEyes #PostIndustrialLandscape #UrbanRenewal #DiscoverCityCorners #CityWalkingPlan #DiscoveringTheLovable #LifeAsCinema #IndustrialHeritage #ArchitectureAndUrbanPlanning #Art #ListenToTheCity #Beijing #North4thRingRoad #Line13 #QinghuaYuanStation #SunsetLivingRoom #WanderingWithYeJun #YeJunsWorld #NotesOfAWanderer #WhereToBegin 2023年6月30日至7月9日，北京。连着几日傍晚，在北四环和京张铁路的交界点发呆、随手拍。 这里离清华东门不远，溜达溜达就到了。上大学的时候，这一带还是荒地的感觉。记得去古北口长城游玩，还骑自行车到过藏在附近的清华园铁路站。我都不知道这里发生了如此大的改变。 ——— 一个梦幻、魔幻、科幻感十足的场景。 上面，是13号线上呼啸而过的地铁列车，一节节车厢闪着光，在夜色中划过。 下面，是车如流水、一直轰鸣的北四环，车灯拉成光带，像城市的动脉。 中间，是京张铁路遗址公园。有人在唱歌，有人在跳舞，有人在跑步，有人只是溜达，有人坐在长椅上发呆。 三种速度，三种声音，三层空间，叠在一起。 ——— 这里是京张铁路遗址公园，一段百年铁路的新生。 2023年6月29日，公园一期正式开放，南起清华东路，北至北四环，长1.2公里。曾经的铁路隔离带，如今成了城市的“缝合线”。桥下11根灰色廊柱被彩绘成“历史画廊”，用“苏州码子”标记着从西直门到八达岭的每一个车站——那是詹天佑当年引入的计数符号。设计团队说，要让这段历史转化为“可见的文化”。 公园里有12个特色花园：道口记忆花园、詹天佑纪念花园、荒野记忆花园……一条铁轨将它们串成链。跨四环的铁路桥被改造为钢廊，西侧特意设置了一排线性靠背座椅，取名“落日客厅”。傍晚时分，人们可以悠闲地坐着，脚下是川流的车，眼前是夕阳余晖，远眺西山。 ——— 清华园铁路站，就在不远处。 1910年由詹天佑设计建成，1960年为配合清华扩建，铁路东移800米，老站改为货运站。2016年，京张高铁建设，老站停用。2023年修缮后重新开放，匾额上“清华园车站”五个字，是詹天佑亲笔题写，也是京张铁路唯一保存完好的老站牌。 上大学时骑车去过的那里，现在成了遗址公园的一部分。 ——— 连着几日傍晚，我都在这里。 坐在“落日客厅”的椅子上，看天慢慢黑下来，看地铁一趟一趟过，看下面的人一圈一圈跳。有人带着孩子来看火车，有情侣靠着栏杆自拍，有老人坐在轮椅上被推着慢慢走。 13号线呼啸而过的时候，声音很大。但奇怪的是，坐在那儿并不觉得吵。那些声音叠在一起，反而成了这个夏天傍晚的底色。 ——— 我们从何处开始了解一座城市？ 从它的新与旧开始——从京张铁路的百年枕木，到13号线的银色车厢。 从它的上与下开始——从桥上呼啸而过的地铁，到桥下载歌载舞的人群。 从它的变与不变开始——从记忆中的荒地，到眼前的“落日客厅”。 #慢下来看世界 #用摄影在街头记录时代 #京张铁路 #景观设计学 #城市更新 #我最喜欢的城市角落 #城市漫跑计划 #把生活拍出电影感 #我听见这世界缤纷 #北京地铁最美站点打卡 #轨道沿线风景大赏
