Dunhuang Railway: the final mosaic of the northwest ring railway network
At 11:18 on December 18, 2019, Dunhuang railway was officially opened. With a total length of 671km, the railway is a class I electrified single track railway of national railway, with a design speed of 120km / h, double track conditions reserved, a traction mass of 4000t and a long-term freight transport capacity of 36000000 tons per year.
previously opened Liugou to Dunhuang, Dunhuang to Subei and Mahai to yinmaxia, with a total length of 173 km. Now, with the opening of Subei to Mahai section, the first ring railway network in Northwest China has been formed with its Lanzhou Qingdao railway, Lanzhou Xinjiang Railway and Qinghai Tibet railway. The
Dunhuang railway is a road of resource transportation. It passes through the Qaidam Basin, one of the three inland basins in China. The mineral resources here are dense, and the resources such as salt, boron, potassium, coal and oil are very rich. Therefore, the Dunhuang railway is built on the "treasure basin". It is believed that this railway can transform the local resource advantages into economic advantages Shoot at the economic development of the surrounding areas. The
Dunhuang railway is a way to get rid of poverty and become rich. It is an important part of the northwest ring railway network in China. For a long time, the infrastructure construction of the areas along the line is relatively backward, the regional economy is underdeveloped, and there are a large number of poor people. The war of poverty alleviation is a war that must be won and fought well. In this regard, we should give full play to the role of the railway and provide a new way for the poor people in the local areas.
Dunhuang railway is a golden tourism road. For a long time, the Gobi of the desert has hindered the development of Tourism along the line, and also made tourists look at the desert. Now, the opening of Dunhuang railway has opened a new chapter of golden tourism. From ancient times to modern times, the long history, culture and special geographical location here have created rich tourism resources in Golmud and Dunhuang. There are many national scenic spots along the line, including Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Suoyang City, the great wall of Han Dynasty and other historical and cultural sites, as well as national geological park Yadan landform, transparent mengke glacier and other natural scenery. The scenic spots and historic sites are countless, which are the gathering place of ancient Silk Road scenic spots. The cultural and natural landscapes between Dunhuang and Geermu will lead the development of local and even western tourism. After the opening and operation of the
Dunhuang railway, the layout of the western road network will be further improved, and the final assembly of the northwest ring railway network in China will be completed, which will not only promote the construction of the "belt and road" in the 21st century, but also promote the development of foreign economic and cultural exchanges and trade in the northwest region. I believe that in the future, Dunhuang railway will serve the people of Subei better.
