Make the city's function of "inland outlet" as soon as possible | Yangtze River Comments

With the accelerated development of the economy, the central and western regions are further open to the outside world. Some provinces and cities are producing "port anxiety". Therefore, various plans to build in the river "out of the sea" have been introduced, or are in the stage of planning, demonstration, and planning. For example, in recent years, Jiangxi and Hunan have been discussing the possibility of excavating the cross -rivers and canal, which has enabled the Ganjiang River, Xiangjiang River and the Pearl River Water System of Guangdong to connect and navigate. Hunan proposed that Changzhutan and Yueyang Port linkages to build Changsha into a "quasi -Linyang city".

In fact, more than the relevant planning and promoting related plans, not only Jiangxi, Hunan, and its capital cities. In 2011, Anhui divided the Chaoshu City into three, and the Chaohu Lake, one of the five freshwater lakes in our country into the jurisdiction of Hefei. Create Hefei into "a mega city near the Yangtze River". Moreover, Anhui has been promoting the "Yinjiang Jihuai Project" to connect the Chaohu and the Yangtze River, and Hefei borrows Chaohu Lake to reach the river. By 2015, the State Council has approved the "introduction of the river and Huai Huai", and various projects have been promoting smoothly.

Wuhan, as a natural "Linyang River City", has the convenience of inland shipping and directly to sea. It is now building a national comprehensive transportation hub city that integrates various transportation methods such as iron, water, public, and air. The development goal of Wuhan New Port is "100 million tons of ports, tens of millions of benchmark boxes", which has been developed in recent years. The goal of 100 million tons of large ports, Wuhan achieved, reaching 116.79 million tons last year, and container throughput of 2.4362 million standard boxes. We must see both the achievements, but also the potential and deficiencies. For example, on the volume of cargo, container throughput, there is still a distance from the upstream Chongqing, the middle and lower reaches of Jiujiang, Chizhou and Jiangsu's along the river.

We should see that Wuhan as a "inland outlet" provides great possibilities for Wuhan to further open up. The goal should be realized step by step, and the urban function of "inland exit" as soon as possible can not only promote the opening of the Wuhan city circle and Hubei to expand to the public, but also be able to serve a larger area.
