Located close to Baihe town, Baiheqiao Station has long served as natural gathering place for market activity along the railway. As residents gradually moved away from the line, the station came to be known as the "last train market".

Visitors are no longer limited to nearby villagers. Tourists from across Yunnan and other provinces flock here, but only on Mondays can they witness the market in full swing. They come to experience the traces of history and to feel this "living industrial heritage".
