Xiong’an finally has a high-speed rail, and the east-west square of Xiong’an Station presents a different scene.

The East Square is densely packed with suspended towers and reinforced concrete, and a large number of workers are working nervously. The sound of the cement mixer “Udon Long” did not stop. The West Square was crowded with people coming from surrounding towns, and a large number of people gathered in the square to take pictures and videos with their families on WeChat. There are also a group of people leaning on the glass, tiptoe to look at the interior of the station. A sign of “Construction of Xiongan New District with High Quality and High Standards” was erected on the farmland not far away.

On December 27, 2020, the Beijing-Xiong Intercity Railway was opened and Xiong’an Station was officially put into operation. The Xiongan New District entered the era of rail transit in the third year after its establishment. “beforeIt takes at least two hours to charter a car from Beijing to Xiong’an, and now the high-speed rail arrives in 50 minutes.” Ms. Meng from Beijing said in an interview with a passenger (ID: carcaijing) on ​​the launch day of the Beijing-Xiong Intercity Railway. .

2021 is the seventh year of “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on Track”. The rail transit in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has undergone earth-shaking changes. Pieces of dense high-speed rail network appeared in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. On January 22, the Beijing-Chengde (Beijing-Chengde) high-speed rail line opened. Since then, the commuting time between Beijing and all surrounding cities has been shortened to less than one hour. The “National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network Planning Outline” issued by the State Council in February stated that before 2035, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region will radiate across the country as a pole and become an international comprehensive transportation hub cluster facing the world.

▲ Changes in GDP rankings of provinces and cities across the country One trip (ID: carcaijing)/organization

The phrase “when the train rang, the golden ten thousand” does not seem to apply to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Many years ago, the saying “Beijing City, Tianjin Guardian, and Baoding Mansion” was circulating in the market. In 2014, the total GDP of Hebei Province ranked sixth in the country, and Tianjin firmly occupies the position of “the second city in the north”. Many years later, “Beijing City” is still that Beijing City, while Hebei and Tianjin only have a sense of presence in the comic dialogue. According to statistics, more than half of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cities have experienced a net population loss.

But Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is like petals on a flower, with different petals, but the petals are concentric. Liu Yongliang, associate professor of the School of Economics of Hebei University, said to a traveler (ID: carcaijing): “The coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei is the general trend and has become a consensus.” :carcaijing) said: “The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, as the center of the implementation of the dual-cycle strategy, undoubtedly has a new mission.”

Hebei is like a hand, but it can’t catch the opportunity of Beijing and Tianjin

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has 7 main railway lines and three transportation hubs. Before the “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on track” was proposed, due to the lack of connections between railway lines, rail transit was once aFor the unspeakable hiding of the three places.

From a historical perspective, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is connected by one line, and has been called “the land of Yanzhao” since ancient times. From the map, Hebei Province is like a hand, but it has been unable to grasp the opportunities brought by the two municipalities directly under the Central Government of Beijing and Tianjin. In 1967, Tianjin was separated from Hebei Province and restored as a municipality directly under the Central Government. The new situation of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei triadism arose from this, but it also formed a situation of separate governance.

The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has unique advantages in track construction: it sits on 7 of the country’s 16 main railway lines; it has three important transportation hubs in Beijing, Tianjin and Shijiazhuang. However, rail transit became unspeakable for the people of the three places. Who could have imagined that taking the train from Shijiazhuang to Tianjin before 2015 is nothing short of a fantasy.

“Who would have thought of going to Tianjin, the train would not be able to pass, the car motion sickness in the past, the road was also uncomfortable.” Mr. Wang from Shijiazhuang told a traveler (ID: carcaijing), recalling the inconvenience of going to Tianjin Still fresh in my memory.

At that time, there were only two options to choose from from Shijiazhuang to Tianjin. The first option was to take a high speed, which would take at least five hours without traffic jams. The other option was to take the high-speed rail from Shijiazhuang to Beijing and then transfer from Beijing to the high-speed rail It takes at least three hours to arrive in Tianjin.

▲ It used to be a hassle to take a train from Shijiazhuang to Tianjin. The picture originated from the map

In fact, building a railway connecting Baoding Xushui and Tianjin can solve this problem. This project has been called for for a hundred years, but it was put on hold for various reasons such as war. With the completion of the Beijing-Kowloon Line in the 1990s, the Zhongjin-Bazhou Railway (Tianjin-Bazhou) section of the railway was completed. In 1998, the Baxu section was approved for project approval. Due to various reasons such as conflicts of interest, construction of this section did not start until 2010.

At 6:41 on December 28, 2015, as the G6271 high-speed rail departed from Tianjin West Station, the Jinbao Railway was opened. On the day of the opening, Mr. Wang from Tianjin sighed in the car: “Good guy, it’s open. Before, you had to take the Beijing-Kowloon line to Shijiazhuang, but now it’s fine. It will be there in less than two hours.”

The daughter of Ms. Tian from Bazhou is studying at Hebei University. The opening of the Tianjin-Baozhou line makes it easier for her daughter to go to school. She said to a traveler (ID: carcaijing): “I said decades ago that I was building a railway to Baoding, but I haven’t seen any movement. Now I can see it. Girls don’t have to worry about going to school.”

The significance of the completion of the Tianjin-Baoui Railway is not only to shorten the commuting time between the two transportation hubs of Tianjin and Shijiazhuang, but also to connect the three arteries of Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Kowloon and Beijing-Guangzhou, shortening the route from Central China to Northeast China. time.

Liu Guangyi, the leader of the “Beijing-Kowloon Railway Expert Group” once pointed out that the construction of Baoba Railway, which is connected to the two-track Jinba Railway, is 110 kilometers shorter than the bypassing Jingpu Line and 90 kilometers shorter than the bypassing Shide Line. , 70 kilometers shorter than the bypass Beijing-Kowloon Line, is an ideal “shortcut” to break the bottleneck of the North, Northwest, and Northeast railways.

The Jinbao Railway has also eased Beijing’s traffic pressure. Xinhua News Agency reported that the Tianjin-Bangkok Railway has transported 8.15 million passengers within two years of its opening. This also means that more than 8 million passengers avoid detours to Beijing to change trains.

The opening of the Tianjin-Baoui Line officially opened the curtain of “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on the track”, and the connection between Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has become closer.

Jing on the track Tianjin and Hebei, a new choice for travel in the three places

The development of “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on the track” has exceeded expectations, and has evolved from the first few railway lines with few connections to a piece of high-speed rail network. The half-hour and one-hour traffic circle of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has begun to take shape.

2015 is a watershed.

In 2014, “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Coordinated Development” became a national strategy. In 2015, the “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Coordinated Development of Transportation Integration Plan” proposed the main framework of “four verticals, four horizontals and one ring”. This skeleton is distributed in a grid pattern, turning the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region into a chessboard, and each city can be connected to high-speed rail. The Tianjin Baotong Pass has become an important part of the “four horizontal”.

On December 28, 2015, the Tianjin-Bangkok Railway was officially opened after breaking through numerous obstacles, taking the lead in achieving “one horizontal”. The time from Shijiazhuang to Tianjin was shortened to 50 minutes, and the three places of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei entered a 1.5-hour traffic circle. In 2016, the “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Intercity Railway Network Plan” was released. The plan proposes to build 9 intercity railways with a total scale of 1,100 kilometers by 2020.

The development of rail transit in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region far exceeds expectations.

Zhao Chunlei, Chairman of China Railway Beijing Bureau Group Co., Ltd., introduced during the National “Two Sessions” in 2021 that the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei road network structure has continued to be optimized since the “13th Five-Year Plan”. Accumulatively completed fixed asset investment of 194.155 billion yuan, an increase of 7.56% over the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”. Key projects such as Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-speed Railway, Beijing-Xiong Intercity, and Beijing-Shenzhen Passenger Train have been put into operation with high quality. The operating mileage increased from 8458.3 kilometers to 9471.9 kilometers, an increase of 12%. Among them, the high-speed rail increased from 1616.3 kilometers to 2288.6 kilometers, an increase of 41.6%.

In the past 7 years, two sections of Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed rail and Beijing-Chengde section of Beijing-Harbin high-speed rail have been opened in northern Hebei, which greatly reduced the time for residents from Zhangjiakou and Chengde to enter Beijing. The Shiji Railway Station was built in southern Hebei, connecting the two high-speed railway lines of Beijing-Guangzhou and Beijing-Shanghai. With the opening of Shiji Railway Station, Hengshui became the last city in Hebei Province to access high-speed rail. Since then, each prefecture-level city in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei has been connected by a high-speed rail line.

The “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on the track” has basically taken shape, and the half-hour and one-hour traffic circle of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has begun to take shape.

The arrival of Shiji Coach Station has given residents in Jing County, a small city in the southeast of Hebei, more travel options. Li Fangfang (pseudonym), a Jingxian college student who studied in Shijiazhuang, told a traveler (ID: carcaijing) that before the opening of the high-speed rail, she usually took a bus for more than three hours to Shijiazhuang. Dezhou took nearly three hours by train to Shijiazhuang, and now it takes one hour to get to Shijiazhuang by high-speed train.

The successful bid for the Beijing Winter Olympics and the establishment of the Xiong’an New District and Daxing Airport have optimized the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei rail transit network. The rail transit has extended to more corners. The Xiong’an New District and Daxing Airport have become Beijing, Tianjin and Tianjin. The new transportation hub after Shijiazhuang.

On December 27, 2020, with the railway from Daxing Airport Station to Xiong’an StationWith the opening of the line, Xiongan Station was officially put into operation. According to data, the planned area of ​​Xiong’an Station is 400,000 square meters, and it is positioned as the largest high-speed railway station in Asia. According to the “National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network Planning Outline”, the Xiongan New District will be built into a high-standard, high-quality comprehensive transportation system in the future.

As a result, this high-speed rail station once became an Internet celebrity attraction. A large number of residents from Xiong’an and surrounding cities gathered in West Square to visit and take photos. “A few days ago, many people came to visit this station one after another. This afternoon my dad took me to drive over ten kilometers to have a look.” Wang Xue from Baigou on the first day of the Beijing-Xiong Intercity Railway paired a passenger (ID :carcaijing) said.

“Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on the track” is connected with the airport to create a three-dimensional transportation and promote the coordinated development of the three places of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. After the completion of Daxing Airport, it has successively connected rail transit with Beijing West Railway Station and Xiong’an Railway Station. At present, the Xiongxin and Xiongshang Railways are under construction. After the completion of the two sections of railways, the time from other cities in Hebei to Daxing Airport will be greatly shortened. In the future, the completion of the Jinxing Railway will also reduce the time from Tianjin to Daxing Airport.

The Jingtang Cao (Beijing-Tangshan-Caofeidian) Railway EMU, which connects Beijing and Caofeidian District, opened in August 2019, and the history of no direct passenger trains between Beijing and the Caofeidian Port District in Tangshan ended. “I used to take the shuttle bus (Beijing-Caofeidian) to run on both sides (Beijing-Caofeidian). It would be nice if I could go home in time of wind, rain or heavy fog. Now it is really convenient.”

The development of rail transit has promoted the opening of China-Europe freight trains in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and the throughput of ports such as Tianjin Port has also increased. In 2020, the container throughput of Tianjin Port will reach 18.35 million TEUs, making it the tenth largest port in the world.

“So far, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integration has made very obvious progress in the construction of transportation infrastructure. In the past few years, the “broken road” has been opened up, and the “bottleneck road” has also been widened. Beijing and the surrounding areas have formed a close relationship. Transportation network.” Chen Yao told a traveler (ID: carcaijing).

“The current level of rail transit in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is in the whole country.” Seven years after Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei proposed, driven by the “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on the track”, “The Story of Many Cities” gradually became “The Story of One City”. The three places are getting closer and closer.


Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei’s goal is “one body”

Although the concept of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integration has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there are still some resistances.

After seven years of hard work, the trackThe Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has shown initial results, and the connection between the three places is getting closer due to the promotion of transportation. The concept of coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has begun to gain roots in the hearts of the people.

But the administrative mechanism of the three places is the biggest challenge facing the coordinated integration of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. Liu Yongliang said to a traveler (ID: carcaijing): “The coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is the overall situation of the entire region and affects the whole country. However, Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei are three equal administrative entities with their own interests. Appeal.

According to the “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Blue Book: Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Development Report (2020)” jointly released by Capital University of Economics and Business and Social Science Literature Publishing (hereinafter referred to as “Blue Book”), the overall network density of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei local government is only 0.4789, at the mid-stream level, the intensity of regional cooperation still needs to be improved, mainly manifested in insufficient cross-regional cooperation.

Ye Tanglin, executive vice president of the Metropolitan Economic and Social Development Institute of Capital University of Economics and Business, once told the Beijing Daily that cross-regional local government cooperation mainly focuses on the “Tongwu Corridor” and the geographical proximity of Tongzhou and “North Three Counties” Regionally, inter-regional cooperation based on economic linkages is mainly based on the cooperative governance behavior of industry deconstruction with the deconstruction of Beijing’s non-capital functions as the core. It has not yet formed a spontaneous governance model that relies on inter-regional economic linkages.

Yanjiao Town is located in Sanhe City in the “North Three Counties”, close to Beijing. A large number of workers work in Beijing CBD during the day and return to Yanjiao Town to rest in the evening. Public information shows that at least 900,000 people in Yanjiao Town move between Beijing and Hebei every day. But up to now, the “one-hour commuting circle” planned for “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on the track” has nothing to do with Yanjiao.

▲A large number of Yanjiao workers spend their time on the road. The picture is from the Internet

There is no rail transit connection between the two places, and the bus lines cannot afford the huge commute traffic. Coupled with the time required for safety inspections in Beijing, the attackers spend a lot of time on the road every day. Huaqiao Town, located in Kunshan, Jiangsu, is similar to Yanjiao Town, and a large number of Shanghai drifters settled here. However, the subway connected to Shanghai has been put into operation as early as 2013, which solved the problem of difficulty for workers to go to work.

As early as the 2014 Beijing “Two Sessions”, the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission proposed a light rail construction plan to detour from Yanjiao to Pinggu.The plan was opposed by representatives of Pinggu because of ticket prices and other reasons. Liu Yongliang told a traveler (ID: carcaijing) that, compared with the Yangtze River Delta, the Greater Bay Area and other urban clusters, the disadvantage of the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is that the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration is not strong and relatively loose.

Zheng Xiang, an associate professor at the School of Law of Beijing Jiaotong University, once told the “Rules of Law Weekend” that at present, the coordination level of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei transportation integration is relatively high, and it is a dialogue at the provincial level. It usually takes a one-for-one approach, and there is no permanent establishment. The core key point of the coordination problem of transportation planning is the division of administrative systems and the division of regions.

Zheng Xiang also pointed out to the Rule of Law Weekend: “The district and county levels still lack a dialogue mechanism and coordination mechanism. If local governments at different administrative levels need to coordinate transportation planning, they need to report to the provincial government and get the provincial government. It can be implemented only after paying attention to it. Now it is urgent to establish a dialogue platform and dialogue channel between the districts and counties in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.”

The lack of dialogue channels was particularly prominent during the epidemic. On January 11, 2021, a confirmed case of COVID-19 occurred in Gu’an County, Langfang City. Located in the hinterland of Beijing and Tianjin, Beisan County, which does not border Langfang, was hit. Sanhe City, where Yanjiao Town is located, issued a notice requiring all employees to undergo nucleic acid testing and stay at home for 7 days. The traffic route between Yanjiao and Beijing has been restricted.

Chen Yao believes that due to Beijing’s special status as the capital, it is difficult to achieve the integration of the management mechanism of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, but the inconvenience caused by the management mechanism of the development of science and technology will gradually diminish. The “police linkage” mechanism has been gradually launched between Beijing and the three northern counties, the information sharing and intercommunication mechanism has been implemented, and a number of checkpoints have been abolished. The traffic congestion in Beisan County has eased compared with before.

In addition, due to factors such as geographical environment, Hebei Province’s internal connections also urgently need to be optimized. The “Blue Book” pointed out that the lack of transportation links in northern Hebei and central and southern Hebei has become a shortcoming restricting the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.

There is no rail transit connection between Baoding and Hengshui and Cangzhou, nor is there a direct train between Langfang and Handan and Xingtai. There is also no direct rail connection between Chengde in northern Hebei and its neighboring Zhangjiakou and Qinhuangdao. Qinhuangdao has only one train to Zhangjiakou every week, and it takes more than 11 hours to detour around Beijing.

The relevant person in charge of the Baoding Development and Reform Commission stated that Baoding will speed up the advancement of the Baoding and Baozhang Railway during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period. At the end of 2019, the Zhangjiakou government proposed to start the construction of the first phase of the Zhangjiakou Tourist Railway, connecting Zhangjiakou and Chengde.

It is imperative to promote the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.

Orbital bonus that needs to be released

Although the dividends brought by “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on Orbit” have not been fully released, the achievements of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei in recent years have provided valuable experience for other regions.

Since the implementation of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated integration strategy, the economic dividends brought by the development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei rail transit have not yet been fully released.

In recent years, Tianjin’s GDP ranking in the country has continued to decline. In 2020, it has fallen to the top ten in the country for the first time, losing its reputation as the “second city in the north”. The economic performance of Hebei Province is even weaker. Statistics show that from 2014 to 2019, Hebei’s GDP has fallen from sixth to thirteenth. So far, no city in Hebei Province has been on the list of “GDP Trillion Club Cities”.

Liu Yongliang believes that this phenomenon is related to the change of administrative divisions. He told a traveler (ID: carcaijing) that Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei was originally a whole, but the direct jurisdiction of the two central hubs caused the separation of their internal natural connections and aggravated the imbalance of regional development.

In addition, some experts believe that the current transitional period in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has caused the economic downturn in the two areas. “The economic development of Tianjin and Hebei is hindered by the difficulties of economic transformation and the constraints of the ecological environment. Unlike the Pearl River Delta and other urban agglomerations, the transformation of heavy asset industries here is bound to be slower and more difficult. At present, new development concepts must be used for transformation. , The requirements will be higher.” Chen Yao told a traveler (ID: carcaijing).

Jiang Hongqi of the Lianyungang Branch of the Jiangsu Academy of Social Sciences once published an article on the publication “The Mass” of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China. The challenges that the high-speed rail will bring: First, the formation of a transit effect. That is, the flow of people, logistics, capital, and information only pass through the local area without any effect on the local area; the second is the siphon effect.

The siphon effect began to appear in Tianjin and Hebei. In recent years, the three places of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei have all experienced a situation of net population migration. Beijing has a policy-based net emigration due to the easing of non-capital functions, while Tianjin and Hebei are due to economic factors.

Except for 2018, Tianjin’s population has experienced negative growth for several consecutive years. According to statistics, only Shijiazhuang, Langfang, Chengde, and Qinhuangdao have seen significant population inflows in Hebei. Cangzhou opened high-speed rail in 2012, and its economic scale ranks third in Hebei Province, second only to Tangshan and Shijiazhuang. However, since 2014, Cangzhou has experienced net population migration for five consecutive years.

▲Population flow map of Cangzhou City in recent years, a traveler (ID: carcaijing)/organization

Liu Yongliang said that the implementation of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy is conducive to the concentration of urban populations that are close to the Xiong’an New District, Beijing’s sub-center, and Beijing’s “main center” with convenient transportation. Under the influence of the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Hebei has accelerated its poverty alleviation with the help of “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on track”.

The phrase “no grass grows under big trees” is a perfect fit to describe the economy of Hebei Province. Restricted by factors such as geographic environment and policies, Hebei once appeared in 3798 poverty-stricken villages and 32 poverty-stricken counties in the “Beijing-Tianjin Poverty Belt”. It is also extremely rare in the world to have such a large poverty-stricken area near the capital.

Chongli District, located in Zhangjiakou, was once a member of the poverty belt around the capital. In the past, Chongli popularized a song like this: “One road is full of pits, one policeman stares at two, one department store, one bunch of green onions at the vegetable store, one light at the crossroads, 15-watt light bulbs illuminate the whole city…”, The successful bid to host the Beijing Winter Olympics allowed Chongli to take off the poverty label.

Chongli uses its own advantages to develop ice and snow tourism resources and build ski resorts. In 2019, the opening of the Chongli branch of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-speed Railway shortened the time from Beijing to Chongli and greatly met the skiing needs of tourists in Beijing and surrounding areas. Mr. Chen from Beijing is a ski enthusiast. Before the opening of the Chongli branch, he chose to drive for three hours to go skiing in Chongli. If the road slips in bad weather, the time will be extended. Now the time to Chongli is reduced to 50%. minute.

▲”Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on the track” brings a large number of tourists to Chongli. The picture is from the Internet

CCTV’s “Half Hour of Finance” reported that in December 2020, the 7 ski resorts in Chongli accepted 18,000 to 20,000 visitors every day. Every weekend and holiday, Chongli’sThere will be a phenomenon that a room is hard to find in a hotel. At present, the poverty belt around Beijing and Tianjin has been lifted out of poverty as a whole. Like Chongli, many counties and cities around Beijing have taken the express train of “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on track”, and the economy has continued to develop.

Yanjiao Town, which has been neglected by the “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on track”, sees hope. On March 1, 2021, the “Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of Beijing City Sub-center (Tongzhou District) and the Outline of Long-term Goals for 2035” were released. According to this outline, Beijing will promote the coordinated development of the three northern counties during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, and put the construction of the Pinggu line connecting Yanjiao on the agenda.

Zheng Xiang once said frankly that unlike the Yangtze River Delta and other places, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei transportation integration does not have much experience in the world to learn from, because there is rarely a metropolitan area with two powerful municipalities and a common province. Fusion.

So crossing the river by feeling the stones is more appropriate to describe Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. Chen Yao told a traveler (ID: carcaijing) that with the support of the central government, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has made remarkable achievements in pollution control and transportation construction in the past seven years, and has provided a large amount of valuable resources to other regions. experience.

Zhao Chunlei, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China Railway Beijing Bureau Group Co., Ltd. said during the “Two Sessions”: “The “14th Five-Year Plan” emphasizes the construction of “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on the track” with clear requirements and high standards. In fact, the railways in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region have developed rapidly in recent years. There are four railways in the country that can achieve 350 kilometers of commercial operation.

According to the “National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network Planning Outline”, in the future, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei will be one of the key urban agglomerations and will be the first to build an intercity railway network. Currently, the Beijing-Tangshan intercity construction is in full swing, and the intercity railway connecting Shijiazhuang and Tianjin to Xiongan is also under construction. In addition, the Shihengcang Port Intercity in the southern part of Hebei Province is also under construction. After completion, it will realize a direct connection from Shijiazhuang to Huanghua Port.

Speaking of the future direction of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Liu Yongliang said that the three places of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei are intertwined due to historical, administrative divisions, and natural geographical conditions. The coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is destined to be a long-term contribution.

As the first batch of people to eat crabs, the decision makers in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei are all determined to create this unique metropolitan area.
