Baoji-Lanzhou high-speed railway is an important part of the national railway "four verticals and four horizontals" rapid passenger transport network. It runs through northwest and north China, connecting Xú Zhēng, Zhengxi and Xibao passenger dedicated lines in the east and Lanzhou-Xinjiang high-speed railway in the west. It is a throat channel connecting Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang and other western provinces with the Central Plains, and it is also a steel artery connecting the ancient Silk Road of Asia and Europe and promoting the economic development of the western region. After opening, the "last mile" of China high-speed railway will be opened, and the northwest high-speed railway will be fully integrated into the national high-speed railway network. At the same time, as the first high-speed rail line that runs through the Silk Road Economic Belt, it will connect many major cities along the Silk Road, such as Xi, Baoji, Tianshui, Lanzhou, Xining and Urumqi, and form a high-speed passage of the new Silk Road, which is of great significance for accelerating economic and trade cooperation and cultural exchanges between the northwest region and the central and eastern regions and promoting the construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt.
The design maximum transport capacity of Baolan high-speed railway will reach 60 million passengers and1100,000 tons of goods. After the opening of Baolan High-speed Railway, the running speed of passenger trains will be increased from 77 km/h to more than 250 km/h, and the running time will be shortened to 2 hours, which is conducive to improving the passenger and cargo transportation capacity of Longhai and Lan Xin railway transportation corridors and speeding up the construction of Guanzhong-Tianshui Economic Zone and Longhai-Lan Xin Economic Belt determined by the state.
After Baolan is completed and opened to traffic, Xi, Baoji and Lanzhou will become boutique tourist routes. The opening of Baolan high-speed railway will greatly shorten the time and space distance between the three places and form a tourist city group. Xi, one of the four ancient civilizations in the world, and Lanzhou, with splendid Yellow River culture, attract a large number of tourists every year with their unique charm, forming a huge passenger transport market. Accelerate the implementation of the strategy of developing the western region, promote the development of tourism and characteristic resources and other related industries along the line, and improve the production and living standards of the broad masses of people along the line.
At the same time, it is more conducive to giving play to Lanzhou New District as a strategic platform for the country to open to the west and its leading role in the strategic layout of Gansu, giving play to the advantages of Gansu's strategic channel connecting Eurasia Continental Bridge, further enhancing the image and level of Gansu's opening up, and promoting the underdeveloped areas in the west to accelerate the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way.
With the official launch of the joint debugging test of Shaanxi Baolan high-speed railway, the departure time of Baolan high-speed railway is getting closer and closer. By then, it will further expand the influence scope of "One Belt, One Road" in China, change the single situation that logistics in northwest China mainly depends on road transportation, and open up the last section of the longest "one horizontal" rapid passenger transport network in China, which will become the main artery of economic development in western China.
Think about how beautiful it will be when the high-speed EMU passes through the "yellow land" like lightning and the new Silk Road connected by high-speed rail is presented to the world.
I recommend it carefully.
