Exciting, China's high-speed rail ushers in the "3.5 era"

China has built the most modern railway network and the most developed high-speed railway network in the world. By the end of this year, the national railway business mileage will reach more than 139000 kilometers, including 35000 kilometers, ranking first in the world. (Xinhua news agency, Nov. 22) at the science and Technology Innovation Conference of China Railway Group held on Nov. 22,

said that by the end of this year, the national railway business mileage will be close to 140000 kilometers, including 35000 kilometers of high-speed railway

is the world's first self breakthrough. The continuous development of high-speed railway is a process of continuous self innovation and endeavor of railway. Only more than ten years ago, China's high-speed rail technology and construction are still in a number of gaps. In April 2007, the first EMU in China started from Shanghai station, which opened the real era of EMU. On the eve of the Beijing Olympic Games, the Beijing Tianjin intercity high-speed railway officially opened, which is the first intercity high-speed railway in China. The birth of Wuhan Guangzhou high-speed railway means that China really entered the era of high-speed railway. From then on, China's high-speed rail industry is like riding the striving east wind, all the way forward. At the end of 2017, a number of news platforms at home and abroad released a message: China's high-speed rail operating mileage reached 25000 kilometers, accounting for 66% of the global total mileage. The "four vertical and four horizontal" high-speed rail network has been basically completed, connecting hundreds of large and medium-sized cities. Since then, people's travel modes have changed, the distance between cities, regions and regions has become shorter, and the driving and development of related industries have become diversified. Many cities and regions have successively entered the "one hour commuter circle", "two hour life circle" and "eight hour traffic circle". Chinese people's travel has never been as convenient and fast as today. At the same time, due to the rapid rise of high-speed rail, it has given birth to the advanced prosperity of various economies, and tourism has become a "catalyst" to drive the local social and economic development. Especially in some poor areas, due to the opening of high-speed rail, tourism infrastructure construction and a large increase in tourism population, the speed of poverty alleviation has been greatly accelerated, effectively helping the country to achieve the goal of poverty alleviation More than that, high-speed rail is changing the "transportation pattern" of society. According to relevant data, in 2017, for the first time, the number of high-speed rail EMUs in China's railway passenger traffic exceeded 50%, which is a gratifying change. It also indicates that people are rapidly accepting high-speed rail, which brings more and more comfort and convenience to people. The passengers gradually waved goodbye to the era of "difficult to buy tickets" and "difficult to ride" in the past Spring Festival and other major festivals. China's high-speed rail has really changed the way people travel. With its brand-new, high-quality and powerful transportation capacity, the construction of the national transportation system has stepped onto a new stage It is expected that the Beijing Zhangjiakou high-speed railway, which attracts worldwide attention, will be opened soon. This is not only the first intelligent high-speed railway in China, but also the leading technology in the world. Intelligent construction, intelligent operation, intelligent equipment and intelligent maintenance, etc. are the breakthroughs and self realization of China's railway and high-speed rail technology. At the same time, it is also a powerful guarantee for social development and a driving force for people's happy life

has entered a new era. The railway sector has set up a new benchmark for the world's high-speed rail operation and become an important leader in the development of the world's intelligent railway. In the course of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, China Railway is composing a new chapter of high-quality development.
