The "bullet train line around Fujian" will fully promote the construction of new Fujian with high ecological value and high quality, and further accelerate the high-quality development of Fujian.
More than 90% of the land in Fujian Province is covered by mountains and hills, and the mountains such as Wuyishan and Dai Yun make inland transportation in Fujian Province very difficult. 6 1 years ago, the yingtan-Xiamen railway was opened, ending the history that Fujian had no railway. Since the reform and opening up, Fujian's railway construction has been accelerating. In recent years, it has created a "Fujian speed" of opening a high-speed railway or high-speed railway every year on average, making Fujian the first province in China to connect inter-city bullet trains from the "end of the road network", from the speed of Xiaying line of 40 to 50 kilometers per hour to the current speed of 300 kilometers per hour.
At the end of 20 18, Nanlong Railway was opened, which together with Hefu High-speed Railway, Hangzhou-Shenzhen Railway and Xia Long Railway formed a high-grade express railway ring passage, forming a motor train line around Fujian. Fujian has become the second province in China after Hainan to realize the bullet train line around the island, which makes the transportation in Bamin more convenient and the economy more prosperous.
Convenient travel to realize "city life"
20 18 12.29, Nanlong Railway officially opened for operation. Nanlong Railway starts from Nanping City, Fujian Province in the north and ends in Longyan City in the south. The total length of the line is 248. 1 km. It is a fast-track railway with 9 stations, which mainly focuses on passenger transport and gives consideration to freight transport.
Huang Yong, Deputy Director of Passenger Transport Department of China Railway Nanchang Bureau Group Co., Ltd., said that as an important part of the national railway network Hangzhou-Guangzhou Railway and Fujian's "three verticals, six horizontals and nine rings" railway network, Nanlong Railway, Hefei High-speed Railway, Hangzhou-Shenzhen Railway and Xia Long Railway together form a closed-loop traffic network, and a fast railway loop connecting Fujian cities is formed.
After the opening of Nanlong Railway, major cities in Fujian Province have formed an "integrated" living circle, and the fastest travel time from Nanping to Longyan and Longyan to Fuzhou has been shortened from 3.5 hours and 3 hours to 2 hours and 2.5 hours respectively.
"Nanping back to Longyan before, to transfer to Fuzhou. Now the Nanlong Railway is opened. Not only can you take the train directly from Nanping to Longyan, but the time is also shortened by half. " Passenger Cao happily told reporters that he works in Nanping and often goes back to his hometown Longyan. After the opening of Nanlong Railway, it is much more convenient to go home.
Passenger Chen Xiaoyan boarded the bullet train at Yong 'an South Station with her child in her arms. "There was no train before, and it took three hours to get from Yongan to Zhangping by car. Now, after the opening of the Nanlong Railway, it takes only half an hour for Yongan to return to Zhangping. " Chen Xiaoyan said with a smile that she can often take her children back to her parents' home in the future.
It is understood that Yong 'an and Zhangping are the first bullet trains, and the travel time from Yong 'an to Fuzhou and Xiamen has been shortened from three or four hours to two hours, Zhangping to Nanping and Xiamen only takes 1.5 hours, and Longyan only takes half an hour.
Shaxian snack is famous all over the world. It is understood that there are more than 60,000 snack owners in Shaxian every year. After the opening of Nanlong Railway, Sanming area was surrounded by a circle, and Sanming North Station gathered Xiaying Line, Xiangpu Line and Nanlong Line, which became an important part of Sanming comprehensive transportation hub, providing snack owners with all-round travel options.
Wu Mugen, the owner of Shaxian snack, felt a lot. "After the opening of the Nanlong Railway, it will take about four or five hours from Shaxian to Shanghai. The raw materials and cash that were pressed before are now all alive. " From telephone poles to cars, to ordinary trains and bullet trains, the traffic upgrade has made snack bosses in Shaxian go out of their homes and go to the world.
After the "1.5" railway map adjustment in 20 19, there will be 23 pairs of passenger trains running through Nanlong Railway, including 20 pairs of EMU trains and 3 pairs of ordinary trains, providing convenient and diverse travel options for Fujian passengers. "The newly-built Nanlong Railway will be put into Spring Festival travel rush in 20 19, which will make the road home for the vast number of wanderers smoother." Zhang Xin, a flight attendant at Yongan South Station, said.
Closed-loop traffic, industry on the "fast lane"
According to the relevant person in charge of Nanchang Railway Bureau, the opening of Nanlong Railway will further improve the layout of Fujian's railway network, help optimize the industrial layout, promote the development of high-quality tourism resources, take the lead in promoting the development of the economic zone on the west side of the Taiwan Strait, and strengthen the communication of people flow, logistics and capital flow among urban economic groups.
"When the Nanlong Railway is about to open, many companies have taken the initiative to negotiate with us. For example, Shenji Sanming 5D Smart Valley Construction Project and Bernard Laser Steel Deep Processing Project will be settled here, which serves Nanlong Railway. " Yang Sheng, secretary of the Party Committee of Fujian Meilie Economic Development Zone, said that a number of enterprises and tourism and cultural projects have settled in Sanming Meilie Economic Zone, which not only promoted the industrial development of Meilie District, but also promoted the realization of Sanming's strategic goal of "expanding from the south to the north and expanding from the west to the east" and effectively promoted the economic growth of Fujian Province.
Le Shenglong, deputy director of the Standing Committee of Shaxian People's Congress, told reporters excitedly that after the opening of Nanlong Railway, Shaxian Railway Station will directly reach 22 provincial capital cities, forming a comprehensive transportation hub with highways and airports, which will facilitate the business exchanges of more than 60,000 snack owners in Shaxian, and also bring great opportunities for attracting investment in Shaxian.
The scenery in the middle of Fujian is beautiful, and the Nanlong Railway brings convenient travel experience, but it also strings up many tourist attractions.
"When the train comes, there will naturally be more tourists coming to travel." Wen Yong, secretary of the Party Committee of Qingshui She Nationality Township in Yong 'an, is full of confidence. Vivid paper-cuts and unique snacks of She nationality in She nationality township make tourists feel the unique customs of She nationality. Nanlong Railway not only brings popularity to She nationality township, but also spreads the national culture with She nationality characteristics. The villagers in Qingshuishe Township are full of confidence in their future life.
Lai Wenchuan, director of zhangping city Railway Construction Office, believes that Nanlong Railway connects the north and the south in the regional road network, which constitutes the most convenient and quick passage from the Yangtze River Delta to the Pearl River Delta via the economic zone on the west side of the Straits, and will contribute to the development of tourism and tea industry in Taiwan Province Farmers Pioneer Park in Yongfu, zhangping city, and help zhangping city to build an eco-tourism city.
"The cherry blossoms in China are beautiful, and Yongfu is the first to open." Li Zhihong, a Taiwanese businessman, happily told reporters that after the opening of Nanlong Railway, more people came to Zhangping Yongfu Tea Garden to drink tea and watch cherry blossoms! The opening of the Nanlong Railway is a great event for Taiwanese businessmen who founded Yongfutai Park in Zhangping, Longyan. Alpine tea has faster logistics and lower cost.
Mountain-sea cooperation promotes regional coordinated development
From overlooking the mountains to connecting mountains and rivers, from fragmented to coordinated development, the completion and opening of Nanlong Railway not only improved the railway traffic conditions in central and northwest Fujian, but also added new kinetic energy to the coordinated development of regional economy.
Nanlong Railway mainly focuses on passenger transport, giving consideration to freight transport. There are many mountainous areas along Fujian, and the economy is relatively backward along the coast. Through the implementation of Nanping-Longyan railway capacity expansion project, a new fast freight railway line can be formed in Nanping-Longyan corridor, which can completely solve the problems of insufficient capacity and low quality of existing railway corridors and further improve the regional road network. At the same time, it is also conducive to improving the traffic conditions along the route, speeding up the development of resources, promoting local economic development, supporting and promoting the construction of the economic zone on the west side of the Taiwan Strait, which is of great significance to promoting the social and economic development of Nanping, Sanming and Longyan, and has become an important link between the underdeveloped mountainous areas in Fujian and the economically developed coastal areas.
Fujian Province has less coal resources, and its output is not self-sufficient. More than half of its recoverable reserves are located in Longyan City. In addition, Longyan is rich in iron ore, limestone, rare earth, wood and other resources. Nanlong Railway is of great significance to the development of coal, steel, building materials and other industries in Fujian Province, the development of mountainous areas in western Fujian, the promotion of industrial and agricultural development, and the reduction of the pressure of transporting coal from north to south.
Fujian is also the birthplace of China tea culture. At one end along the Nanlong Railway, there is Wuyishan rock tea with rock bone flowers, and at the other end, there is Zhangping narcissus tea. According to Lin Zanhuang, the stationmaster of Nanyang Agricultural Technology Station in Zhangping, the opening of Nanlong Railway facilitates them to learn from other places, further improving the production technology and management mode of Narcissus tea.
Deng, vice president of Longyan Tea Association, often goes to Nanping, Zhangping and Longyan to promote Zhangping Narcissus Tea. "I used to drive by myself, but now I have a bullet train, which not only shortens the journey from 4 hours to 1.5 hours, but also frees my hands to make tea on the train." There are many tea merchants like Deng. After the opening of the Nanlong Railway, the "Minzhong" bullet train line will take shape, and the tea culture exchange between Bamin and Fujian will go further.
