National Day holiday, with the traveling passenger flow, reporters saw that from northern Jiangsu to South Zhejiang , from western Anhui to Shanghai, high-speed rails crisscross and extend, connecting the Yangtze River, sea, urban and rural areas of the Yangtze River Delta. Under the coverage of the most dense and complete high-speed rail network in the country, the "Yangtze River Delta on the track" makes people's lives closer, industries are more integrated and complementary, and ecological green is shared by more people.
1 hours of life circle
18 minutes, it is the distance between home and unit. The train conductor of the railway Nanjing Station, Hua Zhipeng, rushed to the G7032 train from Zhenjiang to Nanjing at 7:18, almost every day is not bad. The only time I missed the high-speed rail was on New Year's Eve seven years ago. He was too late to get off work and met a girl who also missed the high-speed rail at the train station. Now, the girl has become his wife. Hua Zhipeng sighed that without the "Yangtze River Delta on track", there would be no work and life he has today.
19 minutes is a journey across provinces and cities. Li Xian, who works in Shanghai, bought her house in Kunshan, Jiangsu, which did not prevent her from making an appointment with her friends to go shopping in Jing'an Temple during the National Day holiday. The daily high-speed rail connection makes her life in the two cities more convenient. In line with the speed of urbanization of high-speed rail, residents' services in Shanghai and Kunqu are constantly interconnected, making Li Xian more at ease in work and life.

30 minutes is more choice for going home. Taking advantage of the holiday, Pan Yongkun, the commander of the Hangzhou Passenger Transport Section, took the G9274 train at Hangzhou West Station, and he could return to his hometown Huzhou in less than half an hour. The newly opened Huhang section of the Hehang High-speed Railway on September 22 gave him an additional route to go home and also made the track network in the Yangtze River Delta become denser and denser.
html Within 01 hours is a new expectation for future life. Zhu Weiguo, an entrepreneur in Tangqiao Town, Zhangjiagang City, was once helpless: the company recruited foreign trade talents, and the work location was written in Zhangjiagang, but no one applied for the job for several years. Within less than a month after setting up an office in Suzhou city, people joined the company. The Jiangsu Nanyanjiang Railway, which is expected to be opened to traffic next year, will integrate Zhangjiagang into the "1-hour living circle" of Nanjing and Shanghai, and more talents from the Yangtze River Delta and even the world are expected to choose to take root in this Jiangcheng.For ten years, the "Yangtze River Delta on the orbit" has continuously shortened people's distance in time and space and psychology. Today, the operating mileage of the Yangtze River Delta Railway has reached more than 13,000 kilometers, of which more than 6,500 kilometers of high-speed railways are accessible to all prefecture-level cities on the land.
industry extends with track
On the eve of National Day, high-speed rail Tonglu East Station is enabled. During the holiday, the surrounding beautiful villages welcomed a large number of tourists. The farmhouse operator Zhang Zhanghong said busy and happy in the picking garden: "In the past, I always had to tell the guests how to come. Now I just say 'You can get off at Tonglu East Station and get there soon'."

Railway brings opportunities for rural revitalization in the Yangtze River Delta: the Hewu Railway crosses the Dabie Mountains to attract more tourists to "enter the mountains"; the Beijing-Hong Kong and Ning'an high-speed railway allows pork and sauce beef in southwestern Anhui to "go far away"; Huizhou Daobanxiang, Jinling salted duck, Xuzhou barbecue meat... A series of local local specialties have become the signature dishes of theme restaurants, allowing the Funong industrial chain to extend from carriages and stations to various cities in the Yangtze River Delta.
During the National Day holiday, in the West Freight Farm in Wuhu, Anhui, hundreds of cars slowly drove into the train car from the tailgate. Liu Xiaofei, the relevant person in charge of the freight yard, said that these special cars are equipped with 9 cars for energy saving and will be incorporated into the China-Europe (Asian) train and will also be sent to Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places. The Yangtze River Delta industrial chain extends with the railway tracks: Since this year, Central Asia freight trains have become an important growth point for freight trains in the Yangtze River Delta. In Jiangsu, Nanjing and other places alone, they used China (Laos) railway lines to extend train services to Myanmar and Thailand, with a cumulative value of cargo shipped several million yuan.
is less than 10 minutes' drive from Huzhou Station . At the foot of Xisai Mountain, famous for Tang poetry, a science valley brings together a group of scientific research platforms and scientific and technological innovation talents. This is becoming an important node for Huzhou to integrate into the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor in the Yangtze River Delta. Bai Hua, director of Huzhou Foreign Experts Service Center, said that the local government uses the advantages of high-speed rail to attract more scientific and technological talents to pursue their dreams among the green waters and green mountains.
trains travel in the painting
In the golden autumn of October, the high-speed rail train shuttles along the Ninghang Line "the greenest edge of the Yangtze River Delta". Outside the bright windows, the continuous green on both sides of the railway flashed - a modern version of the " Fuchun Mountain Residence picture" slowly unfolded.

As of the end of 2021, the 7960-kilometer Yilin Railway section of the Yangtze River Delta has been covered with 7430 kilometers of greening, with a greening rate of more than 93%. In addition, cities along the route have strengthened ecological environment governance, and the "green content" of urban and rural development has been continuously improved. "People are sitting in the car, cars are traveling in the painting, and beautiful scenery is seen in all seasons" is becoming a common experience for tourists in the Yangtze River Delta.
Professor of the School of Transportation Engineering of Tongji University Xu Ruihua said that the Yangtze River Delta has created nearly a quarter of the country's total economic output with less than 4% of the country's land area. The developed high-speed rail network, nearly a thousand pairs of high-speed rail trains that roar every day, are becoming the strongest "adhesive" between cities, providing strong power support for the high-quality development of regional green .
"Yangtze River Delta on the track" has become a window. By 2025, the density of the Yangtze River Delta railway network will reach 507 kilometers per 10,000 square kilometers, which will support a higher level of openness and cooperation in this world-class urban agglomeration.
