"High speed railways play a significant role in effectively connecting poverty alleviation achievements with rural revitalization. We live in the Wuling Mountain area, where the ecological environment is extremely beautiful, so railways also play a significant role in promoting rural tourism," said Ran Hui, an NPC deputy, and Secretary of the Party Branch and Director of the Village Committee of Tianshanbao Village, Taohuayuan Sub-district, Youyang County, Chongqing. Ran also emphasized the importance of embracing the high speed rail era and accelerating development and revitalization.
Last year, the Chengdu-Zigong-Yibin High Speed Railway, Sichuan's first high speed railway with a maximum speed of 350 kilometers per hour, was completed and opened to traffic. The opening of the Qingbaijiangdong-Zhenjiangguan section of the Sichuan-Qinghai Railway ended the history of no railway access in the northwest of Sichuan. The western section of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, the Xuyong-Bijie Railway, was also opened.
As an essential component of the integrated transportation system, railways are crucial for interconnected infrastructure. "Currently, domestic high speed rail technology leads the world. The development of transportation systems and other infrastructure is of great significance for jointly building the 'Belt and Road' Initiative and promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for humanity," said Wei Qin, an NPC deputy and Director of the Sichuan Oil Camphor Engineering Technology Research Center at Yibin University, in an interview.
