Fengming: Golden Princess Cruise Alaska Discovery Journey (V) Phoenix City Fengming The cruise docked at Skagway at 6:00 in the morning on the fifth day. Skagway is the northernmost point of Alaska's southeastern Inland Passage. The main tourist attraction in Skagway is to take the most beautiful railway in the world. We originally wanted to buy tickets for the train on the boat, but we were late and the ticket seller left. We had to buy tickets at the train station after we got off the boat. $10. While waiting for the train, we went to see the lively Broadway Avenue. Along the way, there are displays of the town that emerged due to the gold rush in the 19th century. For example, wooden sidewalks, period carriages, and female carriage drivers. You can visit the 98th Trail Historical Museum, which stores exquisite artworks from the gold rush. The streets are lined with shops selling tourist souvenirs. White Pass and Yukon Route via Skagway The Skagway begins at sea level and reaches a peak of nearly 3,000 feet in a distance of only 20 miles, of which 3.9% is covered with steep slopes. The sharp curves of the railway made the White Pass a narrow-gauge railway. The construction of this 110-mile road was a great challenge. The project was carried out by two teams of engineers from the north and the south. On July 29, 1900, the two teams of workers were in Carcross. Convergence. To commemorate this historic moment, Railway Chairman Samuel H Graves A monument was set up here. Throughout the project, a total of 35,000 people worked. Although each worker worked at different times, they all overcame many difficulties to achieve their goals. This project, worth 10 million US dollars, was the result of a joint effort between British funds, American engineers and Canadian contractors. In order to overcome the difficult and challenging weather and geographical environment, the project used tens of thousands of workers and 450 tons of explosives to build this "Golden Railway". At 3:00pm we took the train on the most beautiful railway in the world, going to Baijiakou and Yukon (in Canada) , follow the route that the gold prospectors took, and experience the hardships of the route that the gold prospectors took. As the train slowly climbed up the mountains, through the train window, we saw the cliffs on one side and the abyss on the other. First, we saw the cemetery where the gold diggers were buried in pursuit of their gold dream. In the distance, the layers of snow-capped mountains towered into the clouds, and streams melted from the snow-capped mountains, flowing from the mountain streams. Straight down. There are mountains of dense forests and barren slopes covered with dry grass. On the roadside where the snow is still half a man high, there are neat traces of shoveling of the longest cantilever beam that was once abandoned. The bridge was replaced by a 675-foot-long tunnel and a new bridge built in 1969, passing through two mountain tunnels, both built at a height of 1,000 feet in Fraser (British Columbia, Canada). After crossing the U.S.-Canada border, Canadian customs is also located here. It is difficult to imagine how the gold diggers back then carried gold mining tools and their dreams on their backs and reached Whitehorse, Cacoros, and Bennett in the Yukon Territory step by step in a vicious environment. British Columbia). It is even more difficult to imagine how the road construction workers overcame all kinds of difficulties and dangers to build the unique, unique, highest and most beautiful railway in the world, so that we, the future generations, can enjoy the beautiful and picturesque scenery along the way and capture the beautiful moments with our cameras. After taking the train down the mountain, the train drove directly to the pier where the cruise ship docked. It was very convenient to get off the train and board the ship. We arrived early this time and found the best seats to sit down. We only found out that the performance was still performed by the young magician Alexander Magician. His performance was even more exciting than the last performance in the small theater. Especially the performance of transforming a living person into a living person. It was really hard to see through. A beautiful woman had her hands tied and was put in a box and locked. After a while, she was locked in the box. We were dumbfounded. This is the magician's brilliance and admiration.
