Shandong Peninsula and Liaodong Peninsula are my country's first and second largest peninsulas, respectively. Shandong Peninsula is located in the east of Shandong Province and east of Jiaolai Valley, with a total area of 73,000 square kilometers. The Liaodong Peninsula is located in the southern part of Liaoning Province, south of the line between the mouth of the Liaohe River and the mouth of the Yalu River, with an area of 29,400 square kilometers. The two peninsulas are facing each other across the sea, and they are the gateway to the sea in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and their strategic position is extremely important. However, because they face each other across the sea, the exchanges between the two peninsulas have not been directly accessible for a long time, but have to go around the Bohai Sea.
For example, from Dalian to Yantai, the two cities face each other across the sea. The line between the two points is the shortest. It directly crosses the Bohai Strait. It is undoubtedly the most convenient to go from south to north or from north to south, but the two places are separated by the vast sea. , So we can only go north from Dalian, around Liaodong Bay, pass Shanhaiguan, Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, and then to Yantai, the distance is about 1,600 kilometers. In the same way, the route from Yantai to Dalian is also the same. It can be said that the journey is far away, and it is far from being directly convenient from south to north. Therefore, for a long time, many people have a vision to build a sea-crossing project across the Bohai Sea, connecting Yantai and Dalian, so that the Liaodong Peninsula and the Shandong Peninsula can communicate directly without detouring. The idea of
is actually very good. If it is realized, it will be possible to reach Shandong directly from the Liaodong Peninsula without circumventing the Bohai Sea. This will greatly promote the exchanges between my country's two peninsulas and promote the economic development of the two places. But building a cross-sea project is not a simple matter. Due to the complex and changeable marine environment, the difficulty of cross-sea projects is actually very high. Given the distance between Shandong Peninsula and Liaodong Peninsula, if a cross-sea project is built, the technical difficulty and capital investment will be huge. So although this idea is good, it is difficult to realize in a short time. So without the construction of cross-sea projects, can the two major peninsulas of our country not be able to communicate directly?
In fact, in addition to cross-sea projects, there is another way, that is, railway ferry. Railway ferry refers to a way for railway vehicles to cross a vast inland river or strait. When a vast inland river or both sides of the strait need to be connected by rail, but due to economic and technical reasons, bridges or tunnels cannot be built for the time being, the train can be dismantled, and the rolling stock can be transferred to the other shore by ferry. This method is also the best way to solve the problem of vast inland rivers or railway transportation on both sides of the strait without constructing cross-sea projects.
my country has a vast territory, with many wide rivers and straits, and a long coastline. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of railway crossing the sea, railway ferry has emerged in my country. There are currently three railway ferries in operation in my country, namely Jiangyin Railway Ferry, Yuehai Railway Ferry and Yantai-Dalian Railway Ferry. Jiangyin Railway Ferry is located in Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province, with a total length of 6 kilometers. It crosses the Yangtze River from Jingjiang on the north bank to Jiangyin on the south bank. It is an important part of the Xinchang Railway. Yuehai Railway Ferry is also a railway ferry connecting Zhanjiang and Hainan Island. The Yantai-Dalian Railway Ferry is a railway ferry that crosses the Bohai Strait and connects my country's two major peninsulas.
Actually, my country has already noticed the problem that the two peninsulas cannot directly communicate with each other. As early as the 1990s, the Yantai-Dalian Railway Ferry Project was demonstrated in detail. From 1992 to 2002, after ten years of demonstration, After two years of design from 2003 to 2004, the construction was finally officially started on October 27, 2004. The project lasted for three years and was put into trial operation on November 6, 2006.
The Yantai-Dalian Railway Ferry starts from Dalian in the north, to Yantai in the south, and crosses the Bohai Strait. The ferry connects at Lushun West Station and Yantai Station respectively. The sea transportation distance is about 86.28 nautical miles, which is 159.8 kilometers. It makes my country’s two major peninsulas Liaodong Peninsula There is a direct railway connection with the Shandong Peninsula. From then on, the Liaodong Peninsula can reach Shandong directly, which is more than 1,400 kilometers shorter than the Bohai Rim, saving a lot of time and transportation costs.
Now the ferry boat can be divided into three layers, the ferry bilge has six pairs of rails, which can carry sixty freight cars. The middle floor is a car cabin with a length of 685 meters, which can be loaded with cars. Passengers on the upper floor can enter from the waiting hall. The boat is equipped with comfortable cabins and various living facilities. Passengers can enjoy the sea view leisurely. You can reach the Shandong Peninsula directly from the Liaodong Peninsula, which saves a lot of time than a detour. Therefore, the opening of the Yantai-Dalian Railway Ferry not only demonstrates my country’s advanced railway technology, but also connects my country’s two major railways.The peninsula facilitates the connection between the two places.
