Guangzhou has woven a modern transportation network of ＂land, sea and air rail＂

Guangzhou has woven a modern transportation network of "land, sea, air and rail", which runs through the whole city, connects the whole country and connects the whole world … Overlooking Guangzhou, a modern transportation network that runs through the whole city, connects the whole country and connects the whole world is gradually being woven-in 2020, the passenger volume of Baiyun Airport ranks first in the world; In 2021, Guangzhou Port completed cargo throughput of 651 million tons and container throughput of 24.47 million TEUs, ranking fourth and fifth respectively in the world. By the end of August this year, the mileage of Guangzhou Expressway (including 130 kilometers of toll expressway) reached 1,144 kilometers, ranking first in the province … Figures show the development of Guangzhou’s transportation network. At present, Guangzhou’s comprehensive three-dimensional traffic network has been initially established, and its functions as an international hub have been steadily enhanced, which has played an important supporting role in creating a strategic fulcrum for the province’s new development pattern, promoting the in-depth implementation of major national strategic layouts such as "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area" and "Traffic Power", and helping the construction of national central cities and comprehensive gateway cities to a new level. Baiyun Airport route and Nansha Port foreign trade route reach the whole world. Looking northward, planes take off and land in an orderly manner at Baiyun International Airport. Last year, over 40 million passengers arrived and set off here, and the passenger throughput ranked first in the country. From Baiyun Airport, the two-hour flight can cover southwest, central and southern China, the four-hour flight can cover China and East Asia, West Asia, South Asia and North Asia, and the twelve-hour flight can cover major cities in the world. The future,A brand-new T3 terminal will rise in the southeast of the existing terminal area of Baiyun Airport, becoming a "new engine" to accelerate the construction of world-class airports in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and promote the high-quality development of Guangdong civil aviation. Looking to the south, trucks enter and leave the Nansha Port Terminal. On May 30th this year, Nansha Port officially opened the first China-Europe train since the Nansha Port railway operation, which truly realized the seamless connection between the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road in Nansha Port, and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has since opened a new operation mode of "international train+port+park+industry". The "Third Ring Road+Nineteen Shoots" road network reaches 20 prefecture-level cities in Guangdong Province, between Baiyun Airport and Nansha Port Area, and Guangzhou South Railway Station is witnessing the development of high-speed railway. Ten years ago, Guangzhou South Railway Station was just completed, and Guangzhou has just ushered in the first high-speed railway-Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway. It takes three and a half hours to get from Guangzhou to Wuhan, and the "China Speed" begins in Guangzhou. The development of high-speed rail in China is changing rapidly. In 2021, the annual passenger flow of Guangzhou South Railway Station reached 124.39 million, ranking first in the annual passenger flow of national railway stations for many years in a row. Today, there are four high-speed rail exits from Guangzhou, including Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed rail (Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed rail), Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong high-speed rail, Guiguang high-speed rail and Nanguang high-speed rail. In addition, Guangzhou has planned a "two vertical and two horizontal" cross-shaped Guangzhou metropolitan area rail transit express network radiating from the center to the surrounding city centers, and is making every effort to build a 30-minute journey from Guangzhou center to Foshan and Dongguan centers.A 60-minute commuter circle to Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Qingyuan centers will create a new pattern of Greater Bay Area rail transit with "one ticket, one network and one city". The traffic network is smooth, and the blood flow of urban development is accelerated. Ten years ago, Guangzhou Expressway basically formed a "two rings (around the city+around the city) and 14 radial lines" expressway network layout; Today, the "Three Rings+Nineteen Shoots" main skeleton road network has basically taken shape. In the past ten years, Guangzhou has actively promoted the construction of high-speed network layout of ring+radiation, focusing on the construction and expansion of communication channels with surrounding cities. In 2018, the second phase (44 kilometers) of the North Third Ring Expressway was completed and opened to traffic, marking the completion of the Pearl River Delta Ring Road; In November 2020, the Huaguan Expressway (54 km) was completed and opened to traffic, which is of great significance to the economic integration of the Pearl River Delta. Today, the mileage of Guangzhou Expressway (including 130 kilometers of toll expressway) has reached 1,144 kilometers, ranking first in the province, and the density of expressway network in the city is 0.15 kilometers/square kilometer, which is in the forefront of the country; There are 21 expressway connecting with Greater Bay Area, reaching 20 prefecture-level cities in Guangdong Province and most provinces and cities in China. The subway speeds up the connection of Guangzhou-Foshan city bus to your doorstep. The traffic in the city is the artery of regional development, and the busy subway and bus are a microcosm of the city’s prosperity. The mileage of Guangzhou Metro has increased from 236 kilometers in 2012 to 621 kilometers at present, making it the third in China and the top five in the world. Three subway lines have been opened between Guangzhou and Buddha, and the process of urbanization has been accelerating.In the past ten years, Guangzhou has vigorously implemented the strategy of giving priority to the development of public transport and continuously improved the service level of urban public transport. 156 night bus lines rank among the top in the country. In the past ten years, Guangzhou has achieved full coverage of the bus network. The number and total length of bus lines in the six districts of downtown Guangzhou have increased from 726 and 11,411 kilometers to 843 and 14,373 kilometers, and a three-level bus system of "trunk, branch and micro" has been established. The 500-meter coverage rate of bus stops in the built-up area has increased from 87.30% to 100%. On August 12th, Dayuan Street, Baiyun District, opened the "Special Line for Supporting the Army and Benefiting Family Members", which is 9 kilometers long and has 13 stations along the way, so that officers and soldiers, their families and residents of Dayuan Street along the line can connect to the "last mile" of the subway and get to the "home door" by car. In the past ten years, Guangzhou has vigorously promoted the pilot work of convenience service vehicles. At present, there are 150 convenient service bus lines in Guangzhou, with an average daily passenger traffic of over 40,000 passengers. In the future, Guangzhou will be integrated into the global city coordinate system at a higher level and in a wider scope, improve the energy level of the comprehensive portal hub, and write a brand-new answer sheet for linking the world. Case Analysis The world’s first fully automatic terminal for river-sea-rail multimodal transport runs along the Pearl River, with red quays along the blue coast and orange unmanned intelligent guided vehicles passing by. The quays accurately complete container loading and unloading according to the instructions automatically issued by the information system. Intelligent guided vehicles automatically plan the path and transport the container to the destination through intelligent algorithms, just like the scenes in science fiction movies. On July 28 this year,Guangzhou Nansha Port Phase IV fully-automatic wharf was officially put into operation. This terminal is the first fully-automatic terminal for river-sea-rail multimodal transport in the world and the first newly-built automatic terminal in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It is understood that the "super brain" which directs the operation of the fully-automated terminal in Nansha Port Area Phase IV is the first in the world and has China’s independent intellectual property rights, and it is the most intelligent automated terminal information system. "With this information system, the machinery and vehicles in our terminal are very obedient to ensure efficient operation." He Yeke, general manager of the fourth phase project of Nansha Port Area, said that judging from the normalized real ship operation test carried out in the first half of this year, the current efficiency has exceeded the level of traditional manual container terminals, and the future operation efficiency will be higher. Nansha Port Phase IV Terminal is the largest fully-automatic terminal with horizontal layout in the world at present. It has the ability to operate 4 large ships and 16 barges at the same time and can adapt to the operation mode of multimodal transport. Liu Ming, director of the field of robotics and autonomous systems and director of the Autopilot Center of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), said that the automated terminal provided a low-cost solution for the automation transformation of the entire port industry, and it was also possible to upgrade the old terminal to an intelligent terminal. Under the same scale, the reconstructed wharf can save about 70% manpower. Twenty years ago, Longxue Island in Nansha, Guangzhou was once a desert island, with no roads and no electricity. Now, there are more and more giant ships berthing here, and it has become one of the busiest ports in the world. Ding Yingpin, deputy director of Nansha Engineering Office of Guangzhou Port, is one of the builders who have been sticking to the front line of Nansha Port.He told reporters that Nansha Port Area is an important support for Guangzhou to build an international shipping hub and an important bearing area for Greater Bay Area’s shipping function. In recent ten years, it is the peak period of Guangzhou port construction, with a total investment of more than 20 billion yuan. Ding Yingpin said: "In the past ten years, we have built the largest automobile ro-ro terminal port area in China, the largest grain terminal in South China, the largest single cold storage in China and the largest cold chain distribution center in South China. After the completion of the fourth phase project of Nansha Port, the annual container handling capacity of Nansha Port is expected to exceed 24 million TEUs, ranking among the top single port areas in the world. Seeing these achievements, I feel that all the efforts and efforts are worthwhile. " The largest single terminal building in China will be built in 2025, with towering construction machinery and huge "steel arms" working in an orderly manner; Welders are assembling the steel structure grid. The sparks caused by welding and the roar of construction facilities show the busyness of the construction site … This is a common scene in the West Fourth Finger Gallery project of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport Phase III expansion project. The West Four Finger Gallery Project and the East Four Finger Gallery Project of T2 Terminal are both important parts of the third phase expansion project of Baiyun Airport. After completion, T1 and T2 terminals will be connected into a whole to form the first terminal area of Baiyun Airport. "The steel grid structure has a high installation height, a large vertical and horizontal span, a large number of structural members and different specifications, and the construction is not difficult. Therefore, we adopt the safety construction technology of’ in-situ assembly+super-large hydraulic synchronous lifting’, and divide the steel structure roof into four lifting areas.In each area, the grid structure will be lifted in place once after the floor assembly is completed. Kuang Weiguo, executive manager of China Construction Eighth Bureau, the construction unit of this project, said that this technology has reduced a lot of high-altitude hoisting and welding operations, and achieved higher precision measurement and positioning and error control, ensuring faster and higher quality completion of the project. As a key project to help build the regional development pattern of "one core, one belt and one district" in Guangdong, the third phase expansion project of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport started on September 27, 2020, with a planned investment of over 54.4 billion yuan. In the future, the construction of T3 Terminal Building and Transportation Center, the largest single terminal building in China, will be carried out in an all-round way, and the earth and stone works in the flight area will be smoothly promoted. The East Fourth West Four Finger Gallery project will enter the main construction stage, and all parties will race against time to ensure that the third phase expansion project will be fully completed and put into use in 2025. Among them, the construction of T3 terminal attracts the most attention. T3 Terminal, with an area of over 420,000 square meters, was started on June 26th, 2021. After completion, it will become a terminal complex with multiple modes of transportation, introducing "two high-speed trains and two intercity trains"-Guanghe High-speed Railway, Guangzhou-Zhuhai (Macao) High-speed Railway, Guangzhou-Guangzhou-Shenzhen Intercity and Fangbai Intercity. Combined with the existing north extension line of Metro Line 3 in T1 and T2 Terminal, it will be possible to reach Guangzhou Railway Station or Guangzhou Baiyun within 20 minutes. Within 30 minutes, you can reach the old city and Tianhe central area through the expressway, and connect the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to further enhance the competitiveness of Guangzhou International Aviation Hub.
