CCTVHuai'an October 7th news "Every time I pass the Huaian section, I sail along the Grand Canal , it's like swimming in a painting." Huangshi's "strike" for more than 30 years, and has a clear understanding of the canal's transformation. "Now, the illegal buildings on the shore are gone, the water is clear and the shore is green, and a park has been built."
Grand Canal, this flowing water transportation line, has now been completely renewed and has become the scenic and happiness line of Huaian, Jiangsu in the new era.
The thousand-mile canal passes through. Protecting the Grand Canal is the shared responsibility of all regions along the canal. In June 2017, General Secretary Xi Jinping made important instructions on the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt : The Grand Canal is a valuable heritage left to us by our ancestors and a mobile culture. We must be protected, inherited and utilized in a coordinated manner.

Huai'an is located in the geographical dividing line between the north and south of my country and is an important hub city on the Grand Canal. Huai'an keeps in mind the earnest instructions, takes the initiative, coordinates the three articles of protection, inheritance and utilization, reshapes location advantages, and actively explores new paths for high-quality leapfrog development. The former "City of Canal" is rejuvenating the style of a new era.
Ten years of renewal:
Canal and city "growth" in both directions, work together to paint the "Baili Gallery"
"I travel back and forth between Shandong and southern Jiangsu all year round, transporting coal, steel, etc. I live on the boat almost all year round." Huangshi, who is in his 60s, is a native of Huai'an, and has made a living by "running boats" for generations.
"In recent years, every time I pass by Huai'an, the canal has changed." Huang Shiqi happily introduced that the beauty of the canal crew also had "contributions". "Now, the requirements for handling domestic waste on the ship are very high. Our domestic waste and sewage have all entered the coastal garbage stations and the dock pipelines, and the bottle will not be thrown into the water."

In November 2019, Huai'an started the construction of a comprehensive green modern shipping rectification project in the Huai'an section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. In two years, 112,000 square meters of illegal and old houses were demolished along the route, more than 200 sand and gravel yards, illegal billboards, 11 wharfs were closed, and 1.26 million square meters of greening construction were completed.
In addition to the scenic parks and greenways, there is also a light "green line" dependent on it, and the two form a vivid "parallel line".

"On the first day I took office, there was a rush of people at the starting station." Xiong Zhengbing was the first batch of modern tram drivers in Huai'an . At the end of 2015, Huai'an Line 1 was opened to traffic, becoming the first touchless modern tram in China to enter the core area of the city and have the longest operating mileage. For more than six years, Xiong Zhengbing has driven a modern tram, shuttled through Qingjiangpu District, Economic Development Zone, and Huaian District, etc. What made him feel the most is that "high-rise buildings are gradually rising, and the area of modern urban areas is constantly increasing."
As of now, Huai'an Hyundai Tram has transported more than 50 million passengers, with a maximum daily passenger flow of more than 55,000. The total passenger flow has been among the top in the country for many years, becoming the "trunk line" to witness urban renewal and the "happiness line" to improve the quality of life.

canal is renewed, city is renewed , the two are from being together to being together and fireworks blending. The picture of people and water getting along with each other and the city and water getting along with each other is slowly unfolding.
"I live in a 'scenic area house' now." Han Yao, who is in his 80s, is an old resident of Shitahu Community, Qingjiangpu District. In his description, the shed was once low and the water quality of the river was turbid. Now, exquisite buildings and lush vegetation are formed together with the tall buildings in the distance. There are many trendy stores and cruise ships rippling in the water. The canal has become a "happy river" for leisure life, as well as a new scene that drives cultural tourism and drives consumption.
All this is due to the fact that in 2013, Huai'an established the "Li Canal Office" and made the decision to "build Li Canal Cultural Corridor ".
In 2020, Huai'an reorganized the "Li Canal Office" and took the lead in establishing the "Grand Canal Office" entity in Jiangsu Province, expanding its functions from Li Canal to the Grand Canal, and coordinating the promotion of related work.
continues to write the "Li Canal Cultural Gallery". In 2021, the "Baili Gallery" project came into being and became a clever design that integrates canal culture and urban development.

"Can can not only exist in the stage and museum." Meng Aimin, deputy director of the Planning, Construction and Management Office of the Huaian Grand Canal Cultural Belt, said, "We must enhance our recognition of canal culture by allowing citizens to feel the slight happiness at home and enjoy the dividends of development."

Inheriting the red gene for a long time, digging out the infinite possibilities of canal culture
At the opening ceremony of this autumn, "Xin'an March" sounded again on campus. Huai'an Xin'an Primary School students expressed their respect for the ancestors of Xin'an Travel Group and their pride for the school's red history.
In May 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping replied to the Young Pioneers of Xin'an Primary School in Huai'an. The General Secretary pointed out that you hope that you will learn the history of the Party based on your own growth reality, take heroes and models as examples, and be firmly determined to listen to the Party and follow the Party since childhood, study hard, establish ideals, temper your character, increase your abilities, and strive to achieve the comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor.
Xin'an Primary School was founded in 1929. In October 1935, 14 students from the school formed the "Xin'an Travel Group", using literature and art as weapons to promote the fight against Japan and the nation. It took 17 years, with a journey of more than 50,000 miles, and its footprints spanned 22 provinces across the country, striving to contribute to the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan and the national liberation.
The red fire continues to grow, and the glorious deeds of the new journey have been passed down from generation to generation. In recent years, students of Xin'an Primary School have gone deep into their families, communities and villages with full enthusiasm to spread revolutionary stories. On the eve of June 1st this year, the children's drama "Xin'an Travel Group" was premiered at the Huai'an Grand Theater. 25 students from Xin'an Primary School participated in the performance in the play, recreating the legendary red journey.

continues the red bloodline and insists on keeping the truth and innovation. Huai'an contains rich red cultural resources and is also exploring innovative expressions of red classics. In order to further explore Huai'an's red culture and promote the integrated development of red culture and tourism, Huai'an has successively created a number of classic red tourism routes and experiential and immersive red cultural and tourism projects.
As the first large-scale high-tech theme park in red culture in Jiangsu, Huai'an Fantasy Oriental wants to know how to use high-tech and immersive experiences to showcase the immortal charm of red culture in multiple dimensions. “What I like most is the performance of “Women”, and the red story is deeply rooted in people’s hearts."Tourist Wang Qian was shocked, "I was deeply moved when the stage showed the subtitles 'As long as we remember, they will be alive'. "
The canal flows, blending north and south, and precipitating a profound cultural heritage. The red culture, canal culture, Huaiyang dish culture and Journey to the West culture have continuously expanded the influence of the city. In the past ten years, the highest number of tourists in Huai'an has exceeded 36.6 million, and the highest number of domestic tourism revenue has exceeded 47 billion yuan. The core of leading regional high-quality development with culture has made this historical and cultural city shine brightly.

Canal Culture is one of the representative cultures of Huai'an. Based on the historical achievements of hydraulic technology, Huai'an has designated the theme of the city museum as a rare "hydraulic worker".
" China Hydraulic Science and Technology Museum is one of the most popular single projects in Huai'an in recent years. It is the first innovative and comprehensive science and technology cultural and tourism complex in the country with the theme of "hydraulic worker". "Xia Jiamao, assistant general manager of Huai'an Cultural Tourism Group, introduced to reporters. The name of the "Banzha Ruins Park" of the first phase of the project of
project originated from a plate gate that workers accidentally discovered during the development process. It is one of the famous "four gates" built in the Huai'an section in the early Ming Dynasty. The relevant departments immediately stopped the development and excavated and protected the system of placing the plate gates and ancient building sites, so that commercial development can make way for culture. The plate gate sites were also identified by the national cultural relics department as an important archaeological discovery along the canal after the Grand Canal was applied for the World Heritage.

The Grand Canal brings Huai'an not only hydraulic technology, but also "hard core" soft power - Huaiyang cuisine. The ingredients and cooking experience from all over the world collided here, and the exquisite and exquisite Huaiyang delicacies were born. In 2020, Huai'an became the fifth city in China to win the title of "World Food Capital".
"Li Jiaqin Gong Meat Roll" in Hexia Ancient Town is a century-old restaurant in Huai'an, which has experienced the inheritance of craftsmanship for six generations.
"This lump I make every festival, and my daughter often calls to say she is greedy. " Qingong Meatball , the fourth-generation inheritor of , said with a smile. Now, she "retreated to the second line". The sixth-generation inheritor Li Yangyang has learned craftsmanship with his father and the fifth-generation inheritor, and can stand alone for more than ten years. This young inheritor has also innovatively developed new products such as pickled vegetables and fish balls.
With the development of the tourism industry in Hexia Ancient Town, this Qingong Meatball has also taken the express train of the Internet and marketization, forming a large-scale industry. More and more such Huaiyang delicacies have gone to the whole country.

As the representative of the new "Huaiyang Taste", Xuyi lobster has made Huai'an famous for its food again. "The Jiangsu Provincial Government has clearly proposed to create and build Xuyi as the first "three-industry integration demonstration zone" in the province, with the focus on the integration of the three-industry industry in the lobster industry. "Xuyi County Party Secretary Deng Yong introduced.
Xuyi lobster has been ranked first in the aquatic brand value list for seven years, with a brand value of 30.65 billion yuan. The industrial chain covers the first, second and third industries, driving nearly 1/4 of the local population to become rich, and franchise stores are spread across more than 20 provinces and cities across the country. Crayfish has become the "dual brand" of Huai'an's cultural and tourism economy and rural revitalization.
Reshape the hub:
Road, rail, and air in parallel The ancient city on the water is revived because of "transportation".
"Once the canal was connected, and the workers were walking on the springboards between ships, and dust was flying along the coast..." He Jinghua, vice chairman of the Huaian Photographers Association, took more than 100,000 photos along the Grand Canal. The work scenes of people in his computer folders have become a thing of the past. In today's lens, a thousand-ton cargo ship sailed out of the sunset, and the river bank was full of green; the giant containers at the port were like neatly placed colored building blocks, and the command center's large screen displays the port operation screen in real time. Behind the automation scene of
, there is a set of strong data: in 2014, the annual throughput of Huaian Port container exceeded 100,000 TEUs, and exceeded 300,000 TEUs in 2021, ranking first in Jiangsu inland rivers for many years.Over the past decade, Huai'an has accelerated the construction of a national inland shipping center with new breakthroughs in traditional transportation modes.

The canal flows, connecting north and south. The canal characteristics of "connection, communication, integration and development" are integrated into Huai'an's vigorous development pulse.
has achieved urban interface renewal and cultural heritage innovation. Over the past ten years, Huai'an has also strengthened its smooth connectivity with other cities through the comprehensive upgrade of the modern comprehensive transportation system of road, rail, water, and air. Focusing on creating a "green highland and hub new city", Huaian is reshaping the prosperity of the "Canal Capital".
Since 2013, Huaian has listed "rail planning and construction projects" as the first of the "ten key projects" for many years. On December 16, 2019, the section of the Xusu-Huaiyan Railway and the Lianyungang-Huai'an Railway were opened to traffic, and the Huai'an "high-speed rail dream" turned into reality.
from construction to operation (China Radio Network posted the picture above, provided by the Propaganda Department of Huai'an Municipal Party Committee, and the picture below is taken by He Jinghua)
"More and more young people are back!" Zhao Zhichun, director of the Huai'an Railway Office, still can't forget the scene when he took the first high-speed train. "The train arrived that day, and the entire east station was full of joy, and people sang and danced."
Dreams are not easy to land, and there are many doubts during planning. The biggest question at that time was "With Huai'an's demand, is it worth the high-speed rail?"
's gradual increase in passenger volume became the best response. In 2021, Huai'an East Station sent a total of 4.11 million passengers, ranking 28th on the list of 474 stations in the Yangtze River Delta.
"The location selection of Huai'an East Station connects Huaiyin District, development zone, Huai'an District, etc., driving the overall development of the city." Zhao Zhichun pointed to the railway planning diagram and said, "According to the current plan, by 2035, Huai'an will form a 'mi'-shaped high-speed rail hub connecting surrounding cities, and its location advantages will be further magnified."
Facing the "siphon effect" of surrounding first- and second-tier cities, Huai'an chose to integrate production and talent, and misplaced competition to open up the situation, providing strong talent support for the construction of a modern central city in the northern Yangtze River Delta.
"It is Huai'an's sincere enthusiasm for attracting talents that touched me." Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering , researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Geotechnical Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Yang Chun and technical team landed in Huai'an, conquering the world's problem of building a large gas storage warehouse with layered low-grade salt ore , and becoming a good story in Huai'an with the targeting of leading industries and major projects and precisely attracting talents.
At the same time, Huai'an encourages enterprises to go global and "expand territory", build "talent enclaves" in key cities, with the same policies and absorb resources for their own use. In recent years, Huai'an has introduced nearly 2,000 "famous school students" and more than 30,000 "famous enterprise talents".

exceeded 200 billion yuan in 2013 to 455.013 billion yuan in 2021. Huai'an's total economic output spans three trillion levels in a row, with an economic growth rate exceeding 10% in 2021, the second in the province.
"Now Huaian's location conditions and strategic advantages are being lost. Huaian is now closer, more confident and capable than ever before, reshapes historical glory." Chen Zhichang, Secretary of the Huaian Municipal Party Committee, said.
urban agglomeration is developing rapidly, and a hundred flowers are blooming in the new era. It has strong strength in "hard-core cities" and endless potential for "happy small city".
"South ship, north horse, , nine provinces, ". Now, the Millennium Canal has ushered in a century of recovery, Huai'an's ancient city has been renovated, and its hub has been reshaped. It has firmly adhered to the roots of culture and integrated into the general trend of urban rejuvenation.
Baijia Reading City:
What kind of a set of parallel lines
□ Gong Zheng
Travel through the smoke and dust of history, through the noise of years, a set of parallel lines, showing us soothing and excitingly with the spiritual beauty of water and the dreams extending on the rails.
The beautiful ancient canal and the elegant city light rail, a wave of water, and a will of iron pillow. The two thousand years of wind and moon reflect the heaviness of history on the ancient canal, and the wind of the times runs at the speed of the times on the urban blueprint of the new century.
has this set of parallel lines, Huai'an still integrates south and north geographically, and is psychologically energetic.
For Huai'an, this set of parallel lines is undoubtedly a pair of flying wings. It travels through wind and rain, it travels through lightning, it travels through Sui and Tang Romance and Ming and Qing dynasties. Let a canal become a wing, and the historical style makes us remember our homesickness and home. It breaks through and strives for the first place, it leaps the rise, and it shows Huai'an's determination to accelerate its development with a new attitude. Let a light rail become another flap, and the application of new elements of modern life theory indicates creation and innovation.
Facing this set of passionate parallel lines, ripples often arise in my heart. In the waves of water, there is not only the courage to be invincible, but also a peaceful and tolerant temperament. The lights on thousands of homes on the bank of the canal make the wanderers from all over the country warm and warm in their lives. The handsome light rail not only allows us to run and fly, but also closely connects the speeding dream of high-speed rail with this city.
is located in the hinterland of northern Jiangsu, so you should move forward bravely. A light rail is a symbol. It allows us to rush out from the fences in the hinterland and create a new world that belongs to us.
Following this set of parallel lines, we see the sea and the blue sky. A gust of wind passed, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and a new city rose flat on the ground next to the parallel line.
Next to this set of parallel lines, we not only see wide avenues and high-rise buildings, but also see the times propositions to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation. Keeping pace with the times has become the new normal. Only when thinkers stand on the commanding heights of their thoughts can they lead the future and make challenges move forward.
We are determined to catch up and stride forward. We improve quality and efficiency, and climb upward. On the stage of the times, this set of parallel lines is like a dancing ribbon, becoming the most beautiful memory we present to the years!
