The successful implementation of the construction of the longitudinal three-trunk and two-track project along the Xiangjiang River in Changsha-Zhuzhou-Zhuzhou-Tan has undoubtedly injected a strong impetus into the three-city integration strategy. This project not only reflects the forward-looking and strategic vision of our urban planning, but also a strong impetus for the development of regional integration. Now, with the successful completion of the construction of this project, the connection between the three cities has become closer, and the effect of resource sharing and complementary advantages has become more and more obvious.
However, we cannot rest on our laurels and must continue to deepen reform and accelerate the process of integration. At present, the construction of the Changsha Nanheng Line and the Zhuzhou-Shaoshan Highway has become the top priority of our work. These two horizontal lines, like the two main arteries of regional development, will effectively promote exchanges and cooperation in economic, cultural, scientific and technological fields between the three cities.
The Changsha Nanheng Line, starting from Yuquan Village, Wenjia Town, Liuyang City, which is the border between Hunan and Jiangxi, is like a giant dragon, winding and circling, passing through the vast territory of Hunan and Jiangxi. Its end point is in Dongtang Village, Longtian Town, Ningxiang County, at the junction with Loudi City, like a ribbon, connecting the north and south ends of Hunan.
This line is not only a simple transportation line, but also the economic lifeline of six counties (cities) and 29 townships including Liuyang City, Yuhua District, Tianxin District, Xiangtan City, Yuelu District, and Ningxiang County. With a total length of 253.5 kilometers, it is like a giant dragon, crossing mountains and rivers, connecting the prosperity and hope of these regions.
In the future, the Changsha Nanheng Line will be planned as a first-class highway, which not only means that the traffic capacity of the road will be greatly improved, but also symbolizes the vigorous development of Hunan's transportation industry. Among them, the section from Liuyang Town to Ningxiang Huaming Building is the top priority of construction. With Xiangjiang Science and Technology City as the cornerstone, a new city of higher education will rise here, attracting many scientific research institutes to settle in and becoming the cradle of scientific and technological innovation. At the same time, the construction of science and technology incubation and transformation bases will provide a strong impetus for the development of Hunan's science and technology industry.
The construction of Changsha South Heng Line not only further improves the city's road network structure, enhances the convenience of transportation, and provides more choices for citizens to travel, but more importantly, it will greatly promote the industrial development of the areas along the line, attract more population gathering, and promote the rapid growth of the regional economy. This dragon-like traffic artery will drive Hunan's economic development and draw a better blueprint for Hunan's tomorrow.
The planning and construction of the Zhuzhou-Shaoshan highway is undoubtedly a major upgrade of the transportation network between the two places, which will act as a link to connect the two brilliant cultural cities of Zhuzhou and Shaoshan more closely. The construction of this highway will not only greatly shorten the physical distance between the two places, but also deepen the emotional bond between the people of the two places, and build a solid bridge for exchanges and cooperation between the two places.
In the planning of this highway, one highlight project is particularly eye-catching - the construction of the second airport in Changzhutan. The completion of this airport will further improve the transportation network along the Zhuzhou-Shaoshan highway, and provide more convenient and efficient travel options for residents in the two places and even the entire Changzhutan area. At the same time, the construction of the airport will also become an important force to promote the integration of Zhutan City, and accelerate the in-depth integration of the two places in various fields such as economy, culture and tourism.
In addition, the construction of the Zhuzhou-Shaoshan highway will also effectively promote the sharing and development of tourism resources between the two places. Zhuzhou, with its unique industrial culture and rich natural landscapes, attracts countless tourists; And Shaoshan, as the hometown of a great man, is a red tourist resort. The opening of this highway will make the tourism resources of the two places more convenient to flow to each other, and provide tourists with a richer tourism experience.
More importantly, the construction of the Zhuzhou-Shaoshan highway will also strongly promote the integrated development of the cultural tourism industry. With the deepening of cooperation between the two places in the fields of transportation and tourism, the cultural tourism industry will become a new engine for the economic development of the two places, bringing a broader space for development and a better future for the two places.
Through the construction of these two horizontal lines, we are expected to achieve a new height of the three cities in 2030. At that time, the three cities will form a closer and more coordinated whole to jointly promote the prosperity and development of the regional economy. This will not only enhance the influence of Changzhutan area in the country and even the world, but also bring a more convenient and high-quality life experience to the citizens.
