Driving on the Jingwuhuang Expressway, sometimes bypassing a village, sometimes bypassing a few ancient camphor trees, there is almost no trace of "carving" along the way, is this a highway that naturally grows from the mountains and rivers along the way?
"In order not to destroy the scenic spots and natural scenery on this tourist golden belt, we have subverted the traditional practice of blowing up mountains and building roads, adopted the method of terrain selection, and boldly adopted the method of 'S' shape crossing between mountains and rivers to build roads." Tao Guanghui, general manager of the Jingdezhen Management Center of Jiangxi Transportation Investment Group, told reporters that in the process of construction, stories of making way for ancient villages, making way for ancient trees, and making way for birds abound.
In order to protect the camphor tree group of the river bay interconnection, the design and construction personnel painstakingly and thought of a plan, and finally took the measure to circle the camphor tree group in the interconnection;
In order to give the Mandarin duck and the world's endangered bird yellow-throated noisy stork a stable home, the highway was designed to avoid their habitat and breeding grounds, and the project cost increased by 20 million yuan;
In order to protect 77 century-old camphor trees and more than 30 national tree species yew trees in Wuyuan Xiaoqi Village, the designers changed the design plan many times, and finally erected 2 viaducts along the river without destroying an ancient tree;
In order to reduce the damage and impact on the river along the line, the Duanshe River, the designers adjusted the direction of the route, from 15 crossings to 8 crossings...
Tao Guanghui said with emotion: "It is precisely the environmental protection stories that have allowed the ancient villages and ancient buildings along the route to maintain their original ecology to this day, and only then have the picture of the harmonious integration of man and nature in jingwuhuang expressway today." ”
Jinkeng Village, Xianghu Town, Fuliang County, Jingdezhen, has the reputation of "cradle of porcelain capital, landscape and water taoyuan" and "China's most beautiful kiln site" because it has completely preserved the production system of Porcelain of the Song Dynasty, the complete corridor of ancient ceramic production sites, the production area of high-quality porcelain stones and the beautiful pastoral scenery. Today, Jinkeng Village has been included in the scope of Jingdezhen's declaration of world cultural heritage, and is planned to be built as a "National Ceramic Historical and Cultural Park".
"'Into the pit' does not mean 'into the pit,' but 'into the treasure.'" Liu Wenhua, deputy secretary of the party branch of Jinkeng Village, said that after the opening of the Jingwu-Huang Expressway, these ancient villages hidden deep in the mountains were known to more and more people.
The data shows that in the early days of opening, the annual traffic flow of Jingwuhuang Expressway was about 2.0146 million times, with an average daily traffic of 5519 times, and since its opening, the annual growth rate of traffic flow has reached 19.7%, and the current annual traffic flow is about 13.313 million times.
"Shanghai, Hangzhou, Huang (Shan), Wuyuan, Jingdezhen, and Jiu (Jiang) are one of the most promising tourism economic trunk lines in China, and the opening of the Jingwu-Huang Expressway has greatly shortened the time and space distance between each other and formed the Gansu-Anhui-Zhejiang-Shanghai Tourism Scenery Belt." Zhang Yong, deputy secretary of the party committee of the Jingdezhen Management Center of Jiangxi Transportation Investment Group, said.
The reporter found that whether it is along the highway, interchange, extra-large bridge and tunnel, or the pattern planning of toll stations and management centers, it shows the characteristics of regional culture. In the section of the border section of Ganwan Province, large-scale cultural walls, landscape porcelain bottles and other works of art that embody the style of Ganpo have become a veritable "cultural corridor".
The long history of porcelain making and rich ceramic relics are the biggest advantages and the greatest wealth of Jingdezhen. The approval and construction of the Jingdezhen National Ceramic Culture Inheritance and Innovation Pilot Zone have ushered in new development opportunities for the millennium ancient town. In 2020, the total number of tourists and total income in Jingdezhen increased by 26.3% and 29.9% respectively, and during the Spring Festival in 2021 alone, the total tourism income of Jingdezhen reached 1.343 billion yuan, receiving a total of 1.841 million tourists, most of whom came to Jingdezhen through the Jingwuhuang Expressway.
Wuyuan County is located at the junction of Anhui, Zhejiang and Gansu provinces, and has the reputation of "the most beautiful village in China". Smelling the aroma of rape flowers, walking into the ancient village of Wuyuan in Shangrao, the white walls and green tiles, the mountains and rivers are green, the emblems on the stage are sung, and the pavilions in the laneways are wonderful. "More than 95% of tourists go to the scenic spot through the Jiangwan toll station of the Jingwuhuang Expressway. In order to facilitate tourists to go directly to the Jiangling Rice Terraces and the Sea of Flowers, we have officially opened the Xitou Toll Station this year to better serve Wuyuan's global tourism and economic and social development. Zhang Yong said.
"Without the Jingwuhuang Expressway, our dream of 'tea industry' could not have been realized." Wang Dongxin, technical director of Yinggongshan Tea Factory in Jinzhu Village, Wuyuan County, said that the tea garden covers an area of 650 acres, which is completely built in accordance with EU standards, and most of the products are sold to Europe and the United States.
Wang Dongxin told reporters that before the opening of the Jingwu-Huang Expressway, the tea was transported to the Hangzhou port and then loaded on the ship, and the whole process took at least 3 days. After the opening of the Jingwuhuang Expressway, the tea leaves were directly loaded into container counters in Wuyuan, which greatly shortened the transportation time and reduced the cost of loading and unloading, and the whole process was enough for 1 day.
"After the Completion and Opening of the Jingwuhuang Expressway, it has become the main passage out of the province in the north of Jiangxi Province, providing convenient transportation conditions for further strengthening the docking of Jiangxi and the Yangtze River Delta." At the same time, various ecological parks and enterprises relying on the main axis of the highway exit to the urban connection line have formed a new ecological economic circle and injected new impetus into local economic development. Liu Tao, director of the operation management department of Jiangxi Transportation Investment Group, said. (Economic Daily-China Economic Network reporter Lai Yongfeng Liu Xing)
