At present, Huadu District is taking the whole district to improve the energy level of the transportation hub and build a demonstration area for the integrated development of air and rail.
Recently, the plan of the air-rail integrated development demonstration area was officially announced. Under the background of "dual district construction" and "dual circulation" development, the air-rail integration development demonstration zone is based on the air-rail integration hub formed by the expansion of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, the reconstruction and expansion of the first phase of Guangzhou North Station, and the Datian Cargo Station. The super investment + top-level traffic brought about by the construction of the air-rail intermodal transport system, the overall strategic pattern of the surrounding area of about 500 square kilometers has been proposed, and the construction of an international and domestic dual-cycle strategic link fulcrum, the construction of the strategic positioning of the air-rail economic free zone, through the "North Station" + Airport" is the only large-scale air-rail intermodal transport hub in the bay area, strengthening the connection with the Pan-Pearl River, Xijiang Economic Belt, and ASEAN, and radiating and driving the airport economic area, becoming the growth pole of Guangzhou in the new era.


Spatial structure: Reshaping the new development pattern of "one city, two wings and three belts"
The planning focuses on the airport and the North Railway Station as two major passenger transport hubs, around the Guangzhou-Dongguan-Shenzhen Intercity, Airside MRT Line, Yayao Expressway and other air-rail combined transport corridors. Expand urban functions and economy, build a 162-square-kilometer air-rail metropolis, and reshape the new development pattern of "one city, two wings and three belts".

"One City" means relying on the air-rail intermodal transport system, anchoring super traffic to build the northern center of Guangzhou, and building a hub-type business district in the northern part of the Greater Bay Area in the area along the Yayao Expressway where the air and rail are the most time-efficient. The airport economy industries with added value and high knowledge density, including exhibition business, science and technology innovation and intelligent manufacturing, and airport consumption, etc., drive the upgrading of the traditional automobile, electronics, leather and leather goods manufacturing industries in the region, and attract advanced manufacturing and strategic industries in the Greater Bay Area. Emerging industries converge.
The "two wings" are Baiyun Airport in the east and Guangzhou North Railway Station in the west. By focusing on the two major passenger hub groups, building a strong core, anchoring the passenger flow of the two wings, anchoring the traditional north-south channel passenger flow on the two wings in the middle, opening up the east-west direction , to achieve plate integration.
"Three Belts" means relying on multiple intermodal transport corridors between air-rail hubs to form three development belts in the north, middle and south. Among them, the northern air-rail cultural tourism area relies on the transportation corridors such as the Guangzhou-Dongguan-Shenzhen Intercity and Pingbu Avenue. The air-rail timeliness is 15 minutes. With the Sunac Cultural Tourism City as the development engine, it highlights the functions of cultural tourism and leisure, science and technology education, etc. Created as an ecological cultural tourism destination in the north of the bay. The central air-rail comprehensive service area relies on the transportation corridors such as Metro Line 9 and Metro Line 18. The air-rail timeliness is 20 minutes. It is based on the built-up area of Huadu Central City and the central business group planning and construction of the central axis, focusing on urban quality. , leisure life and other functions, to create a comprehensive service destination for the city. The southern air-railway innovation exhibition area realizes 8-minute direct connection between air-rail hubs through traffic corridors such as air-rail dedicated lines and Yayao Expressway. Relying on the area with the highest air-rail timeliness, the "Golden Gallery of Creation Exhibition" will be built, focusing on building engine projects to achieve air-to-rail connections. The iron area is upgraded from "passage" to "destination" to build a new city center with complex functions.
Air Railway Innovation Exhibition Area: Create a new living room and new center in the city
The planning focuses on the most time-sensitive and most valuable 55 square kilometers of the Southern Air Railway Innovation Exhibition Area, builds a new urban living room and a new center, and plans "Air Railway Innovation Exhibition Golden Gallery, The Flowers and Flowers of the North Bay”. The planning scope of the Air Railway Innovation Exhibition Area extends to Yunshan Avenue in the north, Huaguan Expressway in the south, Guangqing Expressway in the west, and Liuxi River in the east, with a total land area of 55 square kilometers.

First, fully tap the new driving force for the development of the air-rail hub and build the four "cores" of the industry.It is planned to have an industrial innovation space of about 25 million square meters (including 3.5 million square meters for exhibition and business offices, 20 million square meters for scientific and technological innovation, and 1.5 million square meters for retail and business travel, to build a hub business core mainly based on headquarters offices, with The core of scientific and technological innovation driven by the development of the double leading enterprises, the exhibition and trade core of the airport headquarters with the international headquarters and the imported commodity exhibition as the main body, and the airport exhibition core with the airport convention and exhibition center as the core. "Five Flowers Shaped" characteristic space. It is planned to open up two water systems of Huadu Lake and Xiuquan Lake, build a water ring around the city along Huadu Lake and Yayao Chung, create 8 waterfront parks, 11 welcoming flower paths, and more. The open space of the community garden will be built into five "flower theme" areas, namely the Hub Flower Street, the Creative Flower Island, the Headquarters Garden, the Business Travel Flower Square, and the Livable Garden. The proportion of blue-green open space in the area is over 30%. The area can carry About 25 million square meters of industrial innovation space, while providing healthy living space for 500,000 people.

At present, the third-phase expansion project of Baiyun Airport has started, with a planned passenger flow of 140 million person-times/year, which will become the largest in the Greater Bay Area after completion. The first phase of the reconstruction and expansion project of Guangzhou North Railway Station has been completed, and it has been connected to the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway, Suiguan-Shenzhen, Guangzhou East Ring Intercity, and Guangqing Intercity Phase I. In the future, it will be connected to Guangqingyong, Guangzhan, Guangzhou China-Zhuhai-Macao, Guiguang, Guangfo Huan Intercity, Guangqing Intercity Phase II, No. 18 North Extension (Guangzhou East Station to Tiangui Road) Intercity Line and many other high-speed rail and intercity lines. On this basis, It is planned to build a dedicated air-railway line, and a T4 terminal is planned to be added at the North Station, which can realize 8-minute air-rail combined transportation. Construction is planned to start during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.
In the future, there will be 9 subway lines gathered here. Among them, Lines 3 and 9 have been completed and opened to traffic, and Lines 18, 22, and 24 are planned to be completed and opened to traffic during the 14th Five-Year Plan.At the same time, the construction of high-speed expressways such as Yayao Expressway and Huadong Expressway has also started, which can realize the two transportation hubs of Baiyun Airport and North Railway Station in 10 minutes.
