Open access in all directions
Focusing on strengthening the function of opening up, an important rule for Gui'an New Area to "run forward" is to move unimpeded.
In accordance with the urban pattern of "three cities and two groups", Gui'an New Area has built a three-dimensional comprehensive transportation network. At present, 350 kilometers of backbone road network has been built, and the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway and the Ring Expressway run through the whole territory, forming a "eight horizontal and seven vertical" traffic skeleton road network. The high-speed railway station and the ring express railway were completed and put into use, and the starting station was set up in Gui'an New Area after the opening of the Guinan high-speed railway.
The convenience of transportation makes it possible to realize the "half-hour commuting circle" of Guiyang Gui'an immediately, connecting Sichuan, Chongqing and Yunnan in 2 hours, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in 4 hours, and the port of going to sea in 6 hours.
The convenience of transportation has gradually formed a multimodal integrated international logistics channel pattern. On the basis of making good use of the bonded logistics policy, the Gui'an Comprehensive Bonded Zone has built a regional logistics distribution center, opened up four comprehensive transportation hubs of "air, land, online and sea", and introduced support policies for Guizhou-Guangdong Kaban and cross-border air transportation. Since the opening of Qianyue Kaban, it has undertaken a total of 853 vehicle transportation, 1,093 LTL transportation, and a total of 14,648 tons of goods.
The convenience of transportation makes the pace of exploration bigger and farther. In November 2023, Guizhou Anguang International Supply Chain Co., Ltd., located in the Gui'an Comprehensive Bonded Zone, signed a cooperation agreement with the Department of Agriculture and Forestry of Luang Namtha Province of Laos at the 6th China International Import Expo to "farm" in Luang Namtha Province, Laos. Chen Xinzhi, a company executive, said.
