The 3rd batch of 'Yangtze River Delta High-speed Rail Tourist Destinations' announced

Recently, the third batch of 39 'high-speed rail tourist destinations in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region' were officially announced, forming a total of 100 high-speed rail tourist destinations in the YRD region. In the future, these destinations will be connected in a network, offering more cross-regional and themed tourism routes and distinctive cultural and tourism products. By combining high-speed rail with tourism, innovative formats and promotional methods aim to attract domestic and international tourists to explore the YRD region by high-speed rail, striving to create a model for high-speed rail tourism in China.

With the official operation of the Shanghai-Nanjing Yangtze Riverside High-speed Railway on September 28, more new railway lines in the YRD region have been opened. This not only provides convenience for people's travel, but also optimizes the path for integrated cultural and tourism development in the YRD region. Currently, high-speed rail has changed the spatial and temporal distance between various cities in the YRD. Over 20 high-speed rail lines and more than 200 high-speed rail stations have formed a fast passenger transportation network. Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui have formed a high-speed rail metropolitan area with travel times ranging from 0.5 to 3 hours, centered around Shanghai.

According to the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) for the development of the YRD railway, by 2025, the 'Yangtze River Delta on the Tracks' will be basically completed. The length of high-speed rail in the YRD will exceed 9,200 kilometers, and the main channels of the national 'Eight Vertical and Eight Horizontal' high-speed rail network will be fully connected in the YRD, with the branch line network operating smoothly. By then, the landscape of the YRD high-speed rail tourist destinations will be completely renewed, and cultural and tourism products will be extensively upgraded to enter a high-quality era.
