Before being closed in October 2019, the Train street was once a attraction for many national and foreign tourists. This is also a place for many tourists to suddenly become “professional photographers” when just holding up the camera to take amazing and surprised pictures. Very few places in the world have a street cut off by such a train and its rail, people’s lives on the two sides of the railway continue as usual.
