Recently, the whole line of the Jinan-Zhengzhou high-speed railway has been officially opened, as a direct high-speed rail connecting the two major economic provinces of Shandong and Henan, what does the opening of the Jinan-Zhengzhou high-speed railway mean?
The official opening of the Jinan-Zhengzhou high-speed railway: First, Henan helped Zhengzhou complete the first rice-shaped high-speed railway.
Before the opening of the whole section of the Jinan-Zhengzhou high-speed railway, the southern section of Zhengzhou to Puyang has taken the lead in opening, the whole line of the Jinan-Zhengzhou high-speed railway has been opened to traffic, Zhengzhou has officially become the country's first rice-shaped high-speed rail hub, north of Shijiazhuang, south of Wuhan, west of Xi'an, east of Xuzhou, southeast of Hefei, southwest of Chongqing, northeast of Jinan, northwest of Taiyuan of the rice-shaped high-speed rail hub pattern from the blueprint to reality, Henan's strong provincial capital strategy makes Zhengzhou rice-shaped hub far ahead of the province and the country.
The official opening of the Jizheng high-speed railway, the second is that Shandong has finally opened up a large channel to the west.
In the past, Shandong's role was mainly as a hub connecting Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the Yangtze River Delta, from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the Tianjin-Pudong Railway and then to the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, which has always been Shandong's unique geographical transportation advantage.
However, due to the lack of east-west arteries in the country, Shandong's communication channel to the west and the inland hinterland of the central and western regions can only bypass Xuzhou or Shijiazhuang, and this traffic disadvantage has been plaguing Shandong's comprehensive development.
The official opening of the Jizheng high-speed railway has communicated the connection between the first economic province in the north and the second economic province.
Due to historical reasons, Shandong and Henan, as the first economic province and the second largest economic province in northern China in recent years, have not been directly connected by railway between the two provinces.
This is still the case at the beginning of the high-speed rail era, after the opening of the Jizheng high-speed railway, it will end the history of the two provinces not directly connected to the railway and the high-speed rail, and the economic value brought by the connection of the two major economic provinces is worth imagining.
The official opening of the Jizheng high-speed railway has communicated the personnel exchanges between two large provinces with a population of more than 100 million.
Guangdong, Shandong and Henan are the only three provinces in the country with a population of more than 100 million, and due to historical reasons, Shandong and Henan, as two adjacent provinces with large populations, are close to each other but do not have direct access to railways and high-speed railways.
The opening of the Jinan-Zhengzhou high-speed railway will connect the flow of people in two provinces with a population of more than 100 million, and the resulting flow of various factors is self-evident.
The official opening of the Jinan-Zhengzhou high-speed railway is the continuous promotion of Jinan's strategy of strengthening the provincial capital and the strategy of Zhengzhou as a strong provincial capital.
After Jinan annexed Laiwu, Shandong officially took the road of Jinan as a strong provincial capital, and the effect was immediate, with Jinan's GDP exceeding one trillion yuan, surpassing Yantai and returning to second place in Shandong, second only to Qingdao.
With the opening of the Jinan-Zhengzhou high-speed railway, Jinan not only caught up with Zhengzhou, a national transportation hub, but also further made up for its own transportation shortcomings, and took an important step to catch up with Zhengzhou
Zhengzhou is also in the strong provincial capital strategy of the blessing, GDP all the way forward, the original from Taiyuan to Luoyang Hunan high-speed railway bypass the provincial capital Zhengzhou, sacrificing the construction of high-speed rail in the province and other cities, the achievement of Zhengzhou is now the country's first rice-shaped high-speed railway.
The opening of the Jinan-Zhengzhou high-speed railway can be regarded as the first joint efforts of Jinan's strategy of strengthening the provincial capital and Zhengzhou's strategy of strengthening the provincial capital.
In short, the opening of the Jinan-Zhengzhou high-speed railway, on the surface, only affects the two cities of Jinan and Zhengzhou, Shandong and Henan provinces, but in view of the importance of Shandong and Henan in the north and even the country's economy, population and culture, the official opening of the Jinan-Zhengzhou high-speed railway or will bring a new round of regional economic reshaping and even changes in the national economic map is not impossible.
So what is the far-reaching impact of the Jizheng high-speed railway on regional development, we will continue to analyze it in the next issue!
