my country's expressways are developing very fast. At present, the total mileage of expressways has reached 149,600 kilometers. Now most cities in the country have opened highways. Choose a highway to drive, which can save a lot of time. If you drive for a long time, you will inevitably need to go to the service area to have a rest. What is the difference between highway service area in my country and and japanese highway service area?
my country's high-speed service area generally has one in about 50 kilometers. In a relatively prosperous area, one may be 30 kilometers per person, and one may be 100 kilometers per person, but most of them are still about 50 kilometers per person. my country has a relatively large area, and many cities are very far apart. It is very tiring to drive for several hours in a row. Basically, they will go to the service area to take a short rest, or go to the toilet, eat something, buy some water and drink.
my country's high-speed service area is already relatively complete in the minds of many people. You can refuel, recharge, and eat and buy food in the service area, which can meet the needs of most people for a short period of time. But when you have been to Japan, you will sigh that the high-speed service area in Japan is so great!
Why do you say that? Because Japan built the highway service area into the size of the shopping mall. Although Japan's total area is not very large, with a total area of only 378,000 square kilometers, Japan has a large population of , with 126 million people, and a relatively dense population. Vehicles in Japan are more popular, and most places are very congested during holidays, so Japan's high-speed service areas are also very close to each other.
Japan's high-speed service area has very complete supporting facilities and a large scale. The service area is built like a domestic shopping mall, with a food street, a large supermarket, a hotel, entertainment facilities, shopping streets, etc., and some service areas are even connected to some local scenic spots, where you can enjoy the fun. The prices of the things inside are not much different from the prices in the city. In order to attract tourists to shop, some service areas even have a great discount on the prices of the things inside.
On the other hand, domestic service areas can basically only stay for a short time, and the things in the service areas are ridiculously expensive and will not buy them unless they have to. There is still a lot of room for improvement in China's high-speed service areas.
