Once bustling, the station becomes peaceful these years. Many old buildings featured with exotic flavors had silently disappeared in time, leaving numerous stories and legendary tales about the station.

On December 21, 1987, the station was listed as a Provincial Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit in Yunnan.
