Yellow Crane Tower

Under the moonlit night, the Yellow Crane Tower broke through the peaks of Bashan Mountain, accepted Xiaoxiang Cloud and Water, and the mighty Yangtze River met its longest tributary Hanshui River in the hinterland of Sanchu, creating the magnificent posture of Wuhan, which is separated by two rivers and surrounded by three towns. It is located in the eastern edge of Jianghan Plain, and the hills in southeastern Hubei are undulating between lakes and marshes in Ping Ye. Tortoise and snake are sandwiched by two mountains, and the boats on the river are woven. The Yellow Crane Tower is made in heaven. Located in Wuhan City, Hubei Province.

The Yellow Crane Tower is a masterpiece of classical and modern casting, poetic and artistic construction. It is located at the intersection of mountains and rivers, which caters to the folk customs of the Chinese nation, the spatial consciousness of being close to nature and the philosophical concept of advocating the universe. Climbing the Yellow Crane Tower will not only make you happy, but also make your mind and the image of the universe permeate and blend with each other, thus purifying your mind. This is probably the reason why the beautiful charm of the Yellow Crane Tower endures with the wind and rain and the sun and the moon.

Wuchang Railway Station Wuchang Railway Station

Wuchang Railway Station is located in Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province. It was founded in 1916, and was successively called Tongxiangmen Station, Binyangmen Station, Wuchang Main Station and Wuchang South Station. It was moved to its current address in 1957 and the current station was built in 1969.

in p>1891, Zhang Zhidong, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, put forward a plan to build the Luhan Railway. In July, 1897, the section from Hankou to Shekou started. In September, 1915, the north and south sections of Luhan Railway were connected near Zhandian Station in Henan. On April 1, 1916, the entire Luhan Railway was opened to traffic, and it was designated as Jinghan Railway. In August, 1912, the section from Wuchang to Changsha (called Xiang 'e Railway) started construction in Nianyutao, Wuchang. Due to the change of design scheme, the starting point of the Guangdong-Han Railway was moved from Nianyutao north to Xujiapeng, but a railway station was also built at the site of Tongxiangmen, which was called Tongxiangmen Station. Tongxiangmen Station was moved to Binyangmen in 1936 and renamed Wuchang South Station after liberation. In 1957, Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, and it was renamed Wuchang Railway Station.

Wuchang station is located in the middle section of Beijing-Guangzhou line, at the intersection of Beijing-Guangzhou line, Wujiu line and Handan line. It is a comprehensive special-class station with passenger transportation as the main business and passenger and freight transportation as well. Founded in 1916 and officially opened in 1918, it was originally called Tongxiangmen Station; In 1936, Tongxiangmen Station was abolished, and Binyangmen Station was established on this basis, and later renamed Wuchang Station. In August 1951, it was renamed Wuchang South Station; In 1957, it was renamed as its current name.

Wuchang Station has launched its own star service brand: Spring Service Brand. Established Wuchang Station as the service brand of Spring Station in the society.

The new Wuchang Station, the largest railway station in Central China, was opened on 19

In October of p>1916, a station on Zhongshan Road in Wuchang was started, and it was completed in June of that year, so it was called Tongxiangmen Station. This is the predecessor of Wuchang Railway Station.

after 91 years of ups and downs and vicissitudes, the small and humble station has become a magnificent station on the Beijing-Guangzhou line, that is, the new Wuchang Railway Station, the largest railway station in Central China.

from 11: 11 on p>19, the waiting room and platform of the new Wuchang station will be partially put into use. The reporter visited the station in advance yesterday.

The appearance of the new station is very beautiful.

Walking to the front of the new Wuchang Station, I found that the shape of the whole station is similar to that of the "Chu Palace". The tone of the station is silver gray, and the outer wall is inlaid with "chimes", which is more characteristic of Jingchu ancient culture. In the waiting room, there are huge stone carvings with Jingchu characteristics.

It is reported that the roof of Wuchang Station is a steel grid structure with a span of 72 meters, and beautiful arcs are drawn in the sky. The roof is made of Al-Mg-Mn alloy panels, the weight of which is 1/3 of that of ordinary color steel, which can not only absorb sound and reduce noise, but also have a service life of 51 years.

12 waiting rooms can accommodate 8,111 people

Yesterday morning, the reporter entered the newly renovated waiting hall of the New Wuchang Station, where 7,111 new silver-gray aviation chairs were arranged in an orderly manner.

At present, there are six automatic escalators in the new Wuchang Station. Journalists take the elevators to the waiting hall on the second floor. Through the wide transparent glass wall on the second floor, they can see the trains entering and leaving the station.

The new waiting room opened this time covers an area of 11611 square meters. Passengers can go to the corresponding waiting area according to the electronic signs after entering the station. "After the opening of the new station building, passengers will not go around in circles as before, and they can take the elevator from the waiting room to the platform." According to a person concerned at the station, the new station building has 12 waiting rooms, which can accommodate more than 8,111 passengers at the same time, more than twice the original size.

during the period of Spring Festival travel rush, the ticketing hall of the new station building will also be put into use, which will greatly alleviate the crowded phenomenon during the peak hours in Spring Festival travel rush every year.

The platform holds up a "big umbrella"

In the past, passengers boarded the bus from the waiting room to the platform without any obstruction. Now, the pillar-free rain shed on the platform has been completely built, so passengers can get on and off the bus to avoid the wind and rain.

It is understood that the column-free rain shed is 486 meters long and 123 meters wide, and its shape is wavy, so as to reflect the "Jiangcheng" characteristics of Wuhan.

After the reconstruction and expansion project of Wuchang Station is completed, there are 5 platforms in * * *, and 3 platforms have been opened this time. According to the new international standards, the name of the platform has changed compared with the past, and the first platform is a basic platform, which is called a platform; The second platform near the west railway line is called the second platform, and the one near the east railway line is called the third platform; The third platform near the west railway line is called platform four, and the one near the east railway line is called platform five.

the plane of these platforms is consistent with the height of train carriages, which is convenient for special passengers such as the elderly, children and the disabled to get on and off.

It takes only 5 minutes from the waiting room to the platform

After the opening of the new Wuchang Station, passengers still need to go to the current temporary ticketing hall to buy tickets. It took the reporter about 3 minutes to walk from the ticket hall to the second floor of the new waiting room.

there are two elevators on the left and right sides of the hall, which can take you directly to the third floor. In the lobby on the third floor, there are waiting rooms 3-8 in turn. Passengers waiting here can directly reach the platforms through the footbridge, which is very convenient. The reporter walked from waiting room 5 to platform 3 in less than 5 minutes.

There are "elevators instead of walking" in many areas.

Nursing rooms and elevators for disabled people walk into the new waiting hall, and compared with the old station, they feel that the new facilities inside are more humanized.

in the waiting hall on the second floor, there are mainly waiting rooms 1 and 2, as well as VIP and soft seat waiting rooms. On the left, there is also a "barrier-free waiting room" and a "nursing room" specially set up for mothers with babies.

According to the constructor, the new Wuchang Station has also adopted many humanized facilities. For example, from the first floor to the second floor of the waiting hall, elevators are installed on both sides. An automatic elevator is also installed between the footbridge and the platform on the second floor.

The supporting facilities will be completed before Spring Festival travel rush next year

In June last year, the reconstruction project of Wuchang Station was started, with a total investment of more than 611 million yuan. According to reports, the former Wuchang Station was a relatively "backward" station on the Beijing-Guangzhou line. After transformation, the station has become one of the best large stations on the Beijing-Guangzhou line.

It is reported that due to the partial opening, the square in front of the station, the exit, the ticket office, etc. have not been completed, and it is still inconvenient for passengers to get into the station. However, it is expected that all kinds of facilities at Spring Festival travel rush New Wuchang Station will be improved by next year. Including station square, regional roads, parking lots and other traffic projects. In the future, the supporting subways, buses and taxis will be directly connected with the station, and passengers can enter and leave the station without crossing and barrier-free transfer.

The position of railway hub is prominent

The relevant person in charge of Wuhan Railway Bureau believes that Hubei's railway hub position is more prominent with the transformation of Wuchang Railway Station as a symbol.

According to relevant sources, together with the Wuhan Railway Station under construction, Wuhan will have three special railway stations, which are rare in cities all over the country.

[ Edit this paragraph] Wuhan has regained its position as the thoroughfare of nine provinces

Today's Wuhan people can already imagine a fast new life in 2113. By that time, the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway passenger dedicated line and the Shanghai-Hanrong railway express passage, which cross the Han Dynasty, will all be completed and opened to traffic. From Wuhan to all parts of the country by train, the minimum speed per kilometer is 211 kilometers and the maximum is 351 kilometers.

The experts in the railway department analyzed this new scene just around the corner, saying that Wuhan will become a rare city in China with four lines of railways in four directions, east, west, north and south, and its position as a national hub is beyond doubt.

Previously, Beijing-Zhuhai and Shanghai-Chengdu expressway met in Han, forming Wuhan's hub position in national highway transportation. The hub position of the latest "upgraded version" is formed by the intersection of Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway and Shanghai-Hanrong high-speed railway in Han. This is a brand-new "golden cross".

In p>2115, the State Council approved the National Medium-and Long-term Railway Network Planning, and planned to build a "four verticals and four horizontals" railway rapid passenger transport network, in which the Beijing-Wuhan-Guangzhou-Shenzhen Passenger Dedicated Line, one of the "four verticals", and the Nanjing-Wuhan-Chongqing-Chengdu Passenger Dedicated Line, one of the "four horizontals", passed arm in arm in Wuhan. Wuhan, therefore, has become one of the four major passenger transport hubs in China.

after the completion of the Beijing-Guangzhou passenger dedicated line, the longitudinal axis of the cross, the journey from Beijing to Guangzhou will be shortened from the current 21 hours to 9 hours. At present, the Wuhan-Guangzhou section of the special line has taken the lead in starting construction in June 2115 and will be opened to traffic next year; The section from Beijing to Shijiazhuang was officially opened in June this year. The Guangzhou-Shenzhen section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Railway, an extension of the Beijing-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line, was started in February 2115 and opened to traffic the following year. Shenzhen Futian Railway Station, one of the projects in Hong Kong, also broke ground in August this year.

the horizontal axis of the "cross"-the Shanghai-Hanrong Passenger Dedicated Line will open the access to Sichuan and end the history of no railway in western Hubei. By then, it will take 9 hours from Shanghai to Chengdu. At present, the Hefei-Nanjing section of the passenger dedicated line was officially opened to traffic in April this year. The Hefei-Wuhan section started construction in October 2115 and will be opened to traffic next year. The Yichang-Wanzhou section, which is the most difficult to build, also started in 2114 and is scheduled to open to traffic at the end of next year. The Wuhan-Yichang section has been under design, and it is reported that it will also be started at the end of the year and will be opened to traffic in 2113.

Express passenger transport and build a five-hour metropolitan area

The national railway passenger dedicated line meets in Han, and the experts in the railway department are very excited: "Wuhan will once again become the thoroughfare of nine provinces."

In ancient times, people called Wuhan "the thoroughfare of nine provinces", which means that the waterway here is convenient. It can go up to Bashu in the west, down to wuyue in the east, back to Hanshui in the north, and reach Henan and Shaanxi in the south via Dongting Lake. However, after China's reform and opening-up, roads, aviation and other modes of transportation were very developed, which temporarily made Wuhan lose the advantage of communicating with all directions.

the construction of the national rapid passenger railway network in the 21th century has given Wuhan a new value as the thoroughfare of nine provinces.

It is reported that the speed of Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway and Shanghai-Hanrong high-speed railway will be increased from 161 kilometers per hour to 251-351 kilometers per hour. With Wuhan as the center, Changsha, Zhengzhou, Nanchang, Hefei and other cities within 511 kilometers can be reached by express passenger train in 1-2 hours; In Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing and other places within 1111 kilometers, high-speed trains can reach in 4 hours, of which Guangzhou only takes more than 3 hours. Experts in the railway sector believe that this central advantage can hardly be found in the country.

In view of this special geographical location, the Ministry of Railways has planned Wuhan as one of the four hubs for rapid passenger transport in China, and set up a motor train depot and a comprehensive maintenance base.

Wuhan has thus become a real railway hub. Experts in the railway sector believe that when the two passenger dedicated lines are gradually taking shape, Wuhan's position as a hub in the country is also rising. Because among the four major hubs, there is no doubt about Beijing's position, and the terminal hubs of Shanghai and Guangzhou are formed by the economic scale of the cities themselves, which is not convenient for expansion. Only Wuhan is the real connecting link.

With the construction of Wuhan Railway Station supporting Wuhan-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line, Wuhan will eventually form a pattern of three passenger stations in one city. At present, only Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou have this condition. At that time, Wuhan Station will undertake the passenger flow of the Beijing-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line, Hankou Station will be mainly responsible for the passengers of the east-west Shanghai-Hanrong Expressway, and Wuchang Station will mainly undertake the tasks of freight and ordinary trains, forming a circular Wuhan railway hub.

Developing a North-South "economic broadband"

The change of time and space distance brought by traffic will have a great impact on the regional economy.

Experts in the railway department believe that from a macro perspective, the Beijing-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line connects the economically developed areas in China, such as Bohai Bay, Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan, Wuhan City Circle, Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan City Group and Pearl River Delta, which directly brings about the acceleration of logistics and people flow, and has a great impact on the overall economic development of China, and finally forms an "economic broadband" that runs through Central China, South China, Southwest China and Hong Kong and Macao, and stretches for nearly 2,211 kilometers.

According to statistics, the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway was one of the busiest routes in China's north-south railway transport corridor. The mineral resources in the west and north of China are mostly transported by railway to the eastern and southern coastal areas where resources are scarce. In 2114, the freight volume between Xinxiang and Zhengzhou on the Beijing-Guangzhou line reached 61.53 million tons, and the one-way passenger traffic was 21.89 million. After the completion of the Beijing-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line, the old Beijing-Guangzhou Line will mainly undertake the freight task, which will undoubtedly increase the north-south freight capacity.

From this, the formation of the Beijing-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line and the Shanghai-Hanrong Expressway with Wuhan as the hub makes it possible to travel back and forth in the same day with a radius of 1,111 kilometers around Wuhan, which will directly attract multinational companies at home and abroad.
