On November 6, the Xiaowan East Station of the Dali (Li) Lin (Cang) Railway was officially opened for operation, and more than 100 tickets were sold at the station on the same day. Xiaowan East Railway Station is the first specially newly built railway station to consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation, effectively connect rural revitalization, and open and operate the national railway. After the opening of the station, there are 4 trains starting from Kunming, Lijiang and Lincang every day, which benefits more than 300,000 people from production and life.
Xiaowan East Railway Station is located in Nanjian County, Dali Prefecture, Xiaowan East Town Lancang River, surrounded by mountains, canyons, rivers as one, the local people called "monkey to see sorrow". In July this year, China Railway Kunming Bureau Group implemented the approval of the State Railway Group and Yunnan Province to build Xiaowan East Railway Station. Due to the limitations of topography, the station is designed and constructed in a half-tunnel and half-bridge manner, half built in the Xinhua Tunnel and half built on the Lancang River Special Bridge.
In the face of difficulties such as construction during the rainy season, difficulties in entering the site of materials, and short effective operation time, the West Yunnan Railway Construction Headquarters organized the First Bureau of China Railway and other participating units to allocate resources and strength, optimize the design of construction organizations, coordinate with multiple parties, implement the construction progress plan, and strictly control the safety and quality of the progress. After more than 160 builders for more than 100 days of construction, Xiaowan East Station has built a new station building area of more than 1,000 square meters, supporting overpasses, corridors and rain shelters, and set up 6 horizontal passages in the tunnel to facilitate passengers to get on and off the train. "When I was a child, I had to go to the county town for a few hours, but now the train has reached the doorstep of the house, and it is much more convenient to travel." Cha Wenhai, a villager in Chajiang Village, XiaowanDong Town, said.
The opening and operation of Xiaowan East Railway Station has greatly reduced the time and space distance, improved the local travel conditions, and allowed local agricultural products such as tea, black chicken, walnuts and other agricultural products to be exported to other places. At the same time, relying on tourism resources such as the Gaoxiaping Lake Scenic Area of Xiaowan Hydropower Station, it will drive the development of tourism along the route, promote the endogenous sustainable development of poverty alleviation areas, help rural revitalization, and promote common prosperity.
According to reports, as early as 2002, china railway Kunming Bureau Group formed a pair of help and support with Nanjian County, and became the longest time to help the county for the longest time. Since 2015, China Railway Kunming Bureau Group has designated to help Yingpan Village in Xiaowan East Town, and 89 poor households in the village have been lifted out of poverty on schedule. In addition, through measures such as subsidizing students' school attendance and giving priority to the recruitment of fresh college students, we will help children in the mountains to get out of the mountains and improve the intergenerational transmission of poverty. Up to now, China Railway Kunming Bureau Group has helped 77 students in Nanjian County, and 36 fresh university graduates in Nanjian County have been preferentially hired. In the next step, China Railway Kunming Bureau Group will make every effort to do a good job in helping the construction of public facilities, industrial development, employment, education, consumption and other related work, and comprehensively promote the strategy of rural revitalization.
