At 8:35 on the first day of the New Year's Day holiday, the C1893 train departed from the newly opened Guangzhou Baiyun Station and went straight to Shantou South, and the whole journey took less than 2.5 hours. On the eve of the holiday, the railway group launched a new embrace, opening a new embrace of the Greater Bay Area to welcome passengers.
The construction of major railway projects was in full swing at the end of the year. On the morning of December 28, the construction of the Meijiang Bridge in the Wuping-Meizhou section of the Longlong high-speed railway began, marking the prelude to the construction of the Wuping-Meizhou section of the Longlong high-speed railway......
The growing rail transit network has stirred up the surging vitality of high-quality development. As the "Greater Bay Area on Rails" accelerates, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is also growing. To open up the "main artery" and smooth the "microcirculation", Guangdong is speeding up the construction of a modern high-quality comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network, striving to realize the smooth flow of people and goods, and better lead, support and ensure the high-quality development of Guangdong.
The hub is new
The blooming of "kapok" stimulates the new vitality of the city
Looking down from the air, the kapok-shaped Guangzhou Baiyun Station is like stretching petals, blooming against the backdrop of white clouds. In the past few days since its opening, citizens have continued to come to check in. "I heard that a lot of new technology was used in the construction of this station, so we also came to see it and experience it. Xiao Feng, a citizen of Guangzhou, specially brought children to the square to visit and take pictures, and the whole station square echoed with songs and laughter.
The whole of Guangzhou has been looking forward to this day for a long time. Thousands of industries have prospered, and the first is in transportation. Improving transportation and strengthening hubs have always been regarded as the "pioneers" leading urban development. As a national central city and a comprehensive gateway city, Guangzhou's strong hub function has always been Guangzhou's unique endowment, and it is also the "self-bringed" gene of the city's prosperity. Baiyun Station is on the stage, with more optimized functions and more reasonable division of labor, which is of self-evident significance for expanding the urban traffic carrying capacity and supporting and guiding the development of Guangzhou's polycenter.
As far as the construction of the urban railway hub system is concerned, before the "advent of Baiyun Station", Guangzhou already had a railway passenger transport hub of Guangzhou Station, Guangzhou South Railway Station, Guangzhou East Railway Station and Guangzhou North Railway Station, and the accessibility and coverage of the railway network have begun to take shape. With the completion of the transformation of Guangzhou Station and Guangzhou East Railway Station in the later stage, the construction process of "high-speed rail into the city" will be rapidly advanced in the future, and the bottleneck of Guangzhou Railway Hub capacity will be further cracked, and Baiyun Station will form a "trinity" together with Guangzhou Station and Guangzhou East Railway Station The closely linked central urban area combination hub will promote regional industrial upgrading and urban carrying capacity, optimize the layout of urban rail transit, form a new growth pole for urban development, and further enhance Guangzhou's influence and radiation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area urban agglomeration.
"The city's supporting facilities surround the station building, and the north and south sides of the elevated waiting hall are arranged with 'breathing squares', which are multi-functional public spaces in the city every day, and can be expanded into temporary train places during peak periods such as spring and summer transportation. Huang Bo, the person in charge of the design of Guangzhou Baiyun Station of the Fourth Survey and Design Institute of China Railway, pointed out that the concept of "station-city integration" of Baiyun Station has broken the original concept of the railway station and has become a new urban space.
On December 29, Guangzhou Baiyun Station TOD investment promotion activity was held, and 12 strategic partners signed a contract to settle in the surrounding commercial plaza, with a contracted area of more than 45,000 square meters, and introduced the InterContinental Hotel. "The underground track is well-developed, the city above ground is bustling, and you don't feel like you're in a station. Huang Bo described.
The opening and operation of Guangzhou Baiyun Station will play an important role in promoting Guangzhou's urban renewal and realizing the new vitality of the old city, and it also means that Guangdong will add a world-class comprehensive transportation hub, so that the travel experience of passengers will be better and better, and the cities will be closer and closer.
Arterial acceleration
Build a "fast road" for regional coordinated development
Three months after the opening of the Guangzhou-Shantou high-speed railway, the Shantou south to Shanwei section of the Shantou high-speed railway has also been opened recently, so far, the fastest time from Shantou south to Shanwei, Guangzhou East, Shenzhen North Station is 36 minutes, 113 minutes, 109 minutes respectively, Guangzhou to the east of Guangdong The passage time is greatly shortened, providing an important channel for the depth of "Rongwan" in the east of Guangdong, and will also strengthen the connection between the Chaoshan region and the surrounding cities and promote the development of regional integration.
Once, Guangzhou-Shenzhen and Chaoshan area rely on a Xiamen-Shenzhen railway connection, the speed is only 250km/h, holidays are "hard to find", the construction and operation of Guangshan, Shanshan two high-speed rail, pinning on the province's people, especially the people along the line of the ardent expectation.
"I bought a high-speed rail ticket to go home during this New Year's Day holiday, and it was faster than taking the Xiamen-Shenzhen bullet train before!" On the evening of the 29th, Mr. Xin, a Shantou man who works in Huangpu, Guangzhou, went straight to the station after work, and also took a special photo of the speed display on the train and sent it to the circle of friends.
With the road network as the link and the hub as the fulcrum, the Guangzhou-Shantou high-speed railway has built a "fast road" to promote the coordinated development of the region, and the Guangzhou metropolitan area has entered the "350 era" with the Shanchaojie metropolitan area. There are many manufacturing industries in Chaoshan, and to build industrial clusters dominated by textile and garment, toy creativity, etc., it is necessary to attract talents, capital and other factors, and tap and release scientific and technological innovation capabilities. Fast transportation connection can realize the efficient flow of talents, capital, technology and other elements, promote the optimal allocation of resources, promote the extension, complementarity and linkage of the industrial chain, and the increasingly compressed time and space distance will simultaneously shorten the economic distance and stimulate new momentum for the development of cities in eastern Guangdong.
The cultural tourism market in eastern Guangdong is also expected to add another fire. "Soon after the opening of the Guangshan and Shanshan high-speed railways, the New Year's Day holiday will be ushered in, and then there will be the Spring Festival, Shantou, Shanwei and other cities will soon become 'Internet celebrity' cities and become popular 'out of the circle'. Jin Yibing, a scholar of high-speed rail economy in Guangdong Province and an associate professor of the Party School of Guangzhou Railway Group, believes that during the Spring Festival next year, Shanwei and Shantou, coastal cities that are suitable for living, traveling and working will become important destinations for tourists.
According to the data of China Railway Group, since the beginning of this year, the construction of the main channel of the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed rail network has been accelerated, and as of the end of November, 36,100 kilometers have been completed and put into operation, providing strong support for promoting regional coordinated development. Shanshan high-speed railway, Guangzhou-Shantou high-speed railway, Zhangshan high-speed railway, Fuzhou-Xiamen-Zhangzhou high-speed railway, Wenfu high-speed railway, and Ningbo-Taizhou-Wenzhou high-speed railway together constitute the Ningbo-Guangzhou high-speed railway channel of the country's southeast coastal high-speed rail channel, passing through 15 cities in Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, opening up the Greater Bay Area through the eastern Guangdong and western Haixi economic zones to the Yangtze River Delta channel, along the city through a speed of 350 kilometers per hour high-speed rail into one.
"The opening of the main traffic arteries can better play the role of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in radiating and driving the surrounding areas, not only helping the 'Rongwan' of the old revolutionary base area in eastern Guangdong, but also making the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area more closely connected with the urban agglomeration on the west coast of the Taiwan Strait and the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, and realizing the linkage development of the eastern coastal economic belt. Chen Hongyu, a professor at the Party School of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, pointed out.
The road network is densely knit
Supporting the emergence of a world-class urban agglomeration
On December 25th, the No. 0 block of the first continuous beam of the airport section of the Guangzhan high-speed rail project - the No. 0 block of the No. 27 pier of the 72-meter continuous beam across the Xichang Road Bridge was successfully poured; on December 24, the first traction substation of the Guangzhan high-speed rail project was successfully capped; on December 19, the Zhanjiang Bay submarine tunnel project was excavated for more than 7 kilometers......
The "Greater Bay Area on the Rails" is gradually growing, like a solid steel skeleton, supporting the emergence of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, a world-class urban agglomeration.
High-speed rail has made the Greater Bay Area smaller.
According to the data of Guangzhou Railway, up to now, the operating mileage of high-speed rail in Guangdong Province has reached 2,838 kilometers, starting from Guangzhou South Railway Station, 17 minutes to Dongguan, 37 minutes to Shenzhen, 48 minutes to Hong Kong, and 1 hour to all cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Ms Fung, a passenger from Hong Kong, said: "We now have to take the high-speed rail between Guangzhou and Hong Kong almost every month, and the service on board is good and fast. ”
"It's ten minutes from Futian Station to West Kowloon, and the chairs are not yet hot, and we are there to buy a cup of coffee, maybe the ice has not melted yet. Mr. Liu, a tourist from Shenzhen, said.
Getting around in the Bay Area is getting more and more accessible. "According to the mobile phone signals of the three major operators, there are 7,359 real-time passengers at Guangzhou South Railway Station, and according to the 12306 system train schedule, 22 trains will arrive and 35 trains will be sent out in the next hour. Wang Zhigang, dispatcher of Guangzhou command center, introduced that the "intelligent transportation system" can obtain passenger flow data in real time through the docking of various data, and can predict passenger flow and other data in the future for a period of time, and can quickly start different levels of early warning according to passenger flow changes, so as to provide accurate services for passengers.
The outbound port is the port. Starting from Zhuhai Station, you can quickly reach 4 transit ports, after passengers get off, you can see the Gongbei Port Building on the platform, according to Liang Xue, deputy director of Zhuhai Station, it only takes 7 minutes to walk to Gongbei Port from here. After leaving the station, walk from the direction of Exit A to Qingmao Port, and the whole journey takes only 8 minutes.
High-speed rail has made the Greater Bay Area bigger.
The reduction of the distance between time and space has greatly expanded the space of the industry.
The rapid track of the Greater Bay Area has set up corridors for industrial cooperation, and the economic hinterland of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is also expanding. "It is more convenient to communicate with suppliers in Shenzhen, Dongguan and Huizhou, and the transportation cost is lower. Liu Xiwei, deputy general manager of Guangdong Meichen Communication Co., Ltd., said that after the opening of the Ganzhou-Shenzhen high-speed railway, the company began to expand production in Heyuan.
With the convenient high-speed rail, the exchange of talents and the flow of information are more convenient and smooth. "Our company in Zhujiang New Town, more than 10 minutes to Guangzhou East Railway Station, more than 1 hour to Hong Kong by high-speed rail. Lin Nuoqian, a young man from Hong Kong and a partner of Guangzhou Ruizi Venture Capital Management Co., Ltd., often takes his Hong Kong partners to Guangdong to see projects and look for investment opportunities.
The multi-level and integrated rail transit system has always been regarded as the standard configuration of the world's advanced bay area. In the future, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will gradually form a "four-network integration" of trunk railways, intercity railways, urban (suburban) railways and urban rail transit, and the transportation framework will be further expanded and the hub support will be further strengthened, which is bound to provide more abundant momentum and broader space for the construction of "hard connection" in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
