U50 - Jubilee

Heyho and welcome to the 1st jubilee update of my CJ Dragon Islands.

Today we will take the old JR0 again.

01



^^Ok, I think most of you remember this place^^
So you know where we are.
Let's start our Kodama journey to Shì Yan. First we will ride out of the depot and pick up the passengers at the Airport station.....
02


After picking up about 320 passengers (This time a JR300 has to stay at home that normally runs this service) the JR0 heads to Lòng Chéng, the first stop on our route.
03


There is nothing an old Bullet train likes more than running at top speed.....
04


This bridge connects the western islands with the dragon Isle.
05


Welcome to Lòng chéng zhongyang chezhàn. Somehow a well known place n this CJ the train is pretty crowded, nearly no free seats left....
06


Heading through the city to the next Stop, Lònghú.
07


08


The beginning of the bridge over the Dragon's neck.
09


Short after stopping at the central Station of Lònghú whe head through this scene... does someone remmber it?
10


Still Lònghú.
11


Heading into the center of Liu shì, this city is squeezed in between Lònghú and Shì yan, together those three cities form a small metropolis.
12


We reach this place short after stopping at the station of Liu Shì. Still very crowded the train heads to it's next stop - Shì Yan.
13


The track leads through a poor district of Liu shì, thoose wooden homes belong workers of the closeup factories. The second JR0 in the pic is owned by eastern DI rail and still in regular service.
14


A lot more wealthy athmosphrere when reaching Shì Yan.
15


We reach the main station of Shì Yan, The - still crowded- JR0 will continue it's service to the airport of Shì Yan where it will wait in the depot for further tours through DI.....

U51 - Shì Yan Central&Temples

Heyho and welcome to the fiftyfirst update of my CJ Dragon Islands.

Today I'm going to show you some pictures from Shì Yan district Zhōngyāng hé sìmiào (Central&Temples) It's one of the two financial districts of the city's center. The area is bordered by the area around the Shì Yan central station in the north and the main road in the south.

Let's start with a picture of the main temple, located at the main road.

This area is located at the east end of the district.

The area around central station.

Wonderfull! I love the detail you lavish onto your cities, so thoughtfully laid out. Looks like a real Asian metropolis!

[mave94]

Looks very good Skimbo!
I like your Asian downtown and the diagonal roads

[peter007]

Nice work. I love your school

[noahclem]

Great work!    It's nice to see a really dense urban update from you and I agree with Matthijs on the diagonals being really nice! Beautiful choice of bats too

U52 - Shì Yan Greenhill

Heyho and welcome to the fifthysecond update of my CJ Dragon Islands.

Today I'm going to show you the Gelin Xi er(greenhill) district of Shì Yan. It's located to the west and southwest of the Central&Temples district and - as the name says - mostly located on a hill.

But steep roads or the need for terraces, as shown here do not prevent the city from growing.
01



A new building under construction at the southwestern end of the district.
02


The hill is cind of a barrier for the traffic, it has to go around it. This leads to a jammy situartion.
03


This area is located next to the border to the central district.
04


Still along the eastern border of the district.
05


The road up to the district West bay is always busy, here shown next to the main hospital.
06


The other road that leads around the hill, not much traffic due no rush hour at the moment....
07


Some terraces in the central area.
08


This tunnel marks the northern end of the district, it leads on the other site of the main line.
09


And, as a conclusion: A nightpic.

I hope you liked this update, greetings, Skimbo =)
