Recently, a netizen left a message on People's Daily , suggesting that day Changshi build a high-speed railway. The Office of the Chuzhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China replied that the preliminary design of the Anhui section of Ninghuai Railway has been approved and the preliminary project has been started. According to the line plan, Ninghuai Railway will set up a station in Tianchang City.
Tianchang is a county-level city in Anhui Province. It is managed by Chuzhou City and is known as the "East Gate of Anhui". It has a unique location that is surrounded by the Soviet Union on three sides, located in the middle and east, and is connected to cities such as Nanjing and Yangzhou. It is similar to the geographical connections, popularity and customs of cities such as Nanjing and Yangzhou. Its economic development has always led the rapid development of Chuzhou City. It is the only county-level city in the province that has entered the top ten provinces for ten consecutive years.
As the easternmost county-level city in Anhui, Tianchang is based on industry and the private economy is active. There are more than 7,500 industrial enterprises, 22,000 private enterprises, 14 national-level specialized and new enterprises, 579 industrial enterprises above the scale, and the total number of above-scale enterprises and 10,000 private enterprises, all ranking first in county-level cities in Anhui Province. In 2021, the local private economy will account for more than 80% of the regional GDP. In 2022, local enterprises Tianda Group and Tiankang Group were shortlisted for the top 500 private enterprises in China's manufacturing industry, and Chuzhou High-tech Industrial Development Zone, located in Tianchang City, was upgraded to a national high-tech industrial development zone.
Deep Yangtze River Delta hinterland, Tianchang City breaks through spatial limitations, strengthens collaborative innovation through cooperation with universities and research institutes, encourages the establishment of enclaves, and improves the level of science and technology innovation. It is understood that the local government has deepened joint construction with universities and institutes such as Nanjing University and Hefei University of Technology to promote cooperation between government, industry, academia and research. In 2021, the Jinniu Lake Campus of Nanjing University of Information Engineering was officially opened, achieving a breakthrough in the introduction of "Double First-Class" universities across provinces in Anhui. Jinniu Lake is located between Liuhe, Jiangsu and Tianchang, Anhui. This move has also become a problem-solving work for the integration of higher education in the Yangtze River Delta in Anhui. At present, 36 companies in Tianchang have set up R&D centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Shenzhen and other places. The total number of high-tech enterprises in the city is 202. In 2021, the output value of Tianchang City's high-tech industry reached 42 billion yuan, accounting for 53.6% of the total output value of large-scale industries.
fiber optic cables, instruments, electronic information, equipment manufacturing, medical devices, etc. are Tianchang's advantageous industries. The local area also supports local enterprises to transform and upgrade and launch new projects, attracting powerful foreign companies to lead and drive new industries and fill the existing industrial chain. In 2021, 73 new projects with a total of more than 100 million yuan were signed, 68 and 40 new projects with a total of more than 100 million yuan were newly started and put into production, respectively, and 21.8 billion yuan of funds were in place for projects with a total of more than 100 million yuan. In 2022, news of attracting strong and powerful people has been frequently reported, and two billion-level projects including Kunyu New Energy with a total investment of 10.2 billion yuan and Jewell Power Battery with a total investment of 10 billion yuan are signed. From January to August this year, the growth rate of major economic indicators in Tianchang City continued to be at the forefront of Anhui Province.
Recently, many companies are also actively developing new products and fields. For example, Anhui Tiankang Group is focusing on the food industry and recently launched a nutritional wine with the new green food raw material Chlamydomonas reinhardt as the main raw material, which is a new exploration of the industrial application of microalgae .
According to Zhao Kuan, chairman of Anhui Tiankang Group, Chlamydomonas reinhardt is known as "photosynthetic yeast" and "green yeast" in the scientific community. It contains excellent protein and rich trace elements. In recent years, it has attracted widespread attention. In May 2022, Chlamydomonas reincarnated was approved by the National Health Commission of China as a new food raw material. In people's daily diet, such microalgae are increasingly appearing, such as biscuits, yogurt, bread, noodles, desserts, sauces, ice cream, sports drinks, etc. The Tiankang Nutritional Wine (Chlamydomonas Reini) configured by the company has become a new practice in the development of the Tianchang microalgae industry chain, and has also made Chlamydomonas reini become more consumers.
Tianchang City, with strong economic development momentum, has not been connected to railways for a long time, and only expressways are available for external land transportation, which has become a restriction on further breakthroughs in its economy. The aforementioned netizen mentioned in his message that he hopes that Anhui can achieve high-speed rail access in counties as soon as possible, and residents of Tianchang City can also take the high-speed rail at their doorstep, which also reflects the local people's expectations for the high-speed rail access in Tianchang.
It is understood that Ninghuai Railway is expected to be opened in 2024. Chuzhou City has also planned the Chutianyang Intercity Railway and Ningtian Intercity Phase II projects. At present, Chutianyang Intercity Railway has been included in the "Anhui Province's "14th Five-Year Plan for Modern Comprehensive Transportation System Development Plan" and the "Chuzhou City's 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the 2035 Vision Goals Outline"; Ningtian Intercity Phase II Pre-feasibility Study Report has been completed, and the project has been included in the "Yangtze River Delta Multi-level Rail Transit Plan".
