The geographical environment of Fujian

The mountains and hills in Fujian are towering and continuous, and valley basins are interspersed among them. Mountainous hills account for more than 80% of the total area of the province, and are known as "eight mountains, one water and one field". The terrain is generally high in the northwest and low in the southeast, and the cross section is slightly saddle-shaped. Due to the control of Neocathaysian structure, the mountains in western Fujian and the mountains in central Fujian were formed in the western and central parts of the province. The two mountains are separated by valleys and basins, with hills, terraces and coastal plains on the east coast.

The land coastline is 3752 kilometers long, mainly for erosion coast, followed by accumulation coast, and the coastline is very tortuous. The tidal flat in intertidal zone covers an area of about 200,000 hectares, and the sediments are mainly silt, silt or sand mud. There are many harbors, including Shacheng Port, Sandu 'ao, Luoyuan Bay, Meizhou Bay, Xiamen Port and Dongshan Bay from north to south. There are 1500 islands scattered all over the country. Pingtan Island is now the largest island in the province. Xiamen Island, Dongshan Island and other original islands have built seawalls to connect with the land, forming a peninsula. Since the 1950 s, the railway development in Fujian has been struggling due to mountainous terrain and long-term combat readiness. Since 265438+20th century, according to the general idea of "building high-speed railway, strengthening sea passage, connecting regional routes and improving the Haixi road network", the economic zone on the west side of the Taiwan Strait will focus on building a railway network with three verticals, six horizontals and nine rings. According to the plan, the railway operation mileage in Fujian Province will reach 6,000 kilometers, and the number of access roads in and out of Fujian Province will exceed 10, forming an express railway loop of nine districts and cities, forming a traffic circle of 1 hour between adjacent districts and cities, and all counties (cities, districts) in Fujian Province will get on the express railway within 1 hour. A systematic, perfect and advanced railway network on the west side of the Taiwan Strait will provide a strong traffic guarantee for the construction of the economic zone on the west side of the Taiwan Strait. By 20 15, the scale of Fujian railway network will reach 4800 kilometers. By then, Fujian's traffic will be more convenient and fast.

By the end of 20 13 and 12, the railways built and under construction in Fujian Province include: Fengfu Railway, yingtan-Xiamen Railway, Gan Long Railway, Meikan Railway, Zhang Quan Railway, Wenfu High-speed Railway, fuzhou-xiamen railway Railway, Xia Long Railway, Xiangpu Railway and xiamen-shenzhen railway Railway. , basically formed a railway network.

2065438+On June 28th, 2005, Hefei-Fuzhou high-speed railway, the first high-speed railway with a design speed of 350km/h in the province, was officially put into operation.

Among them, the railways under construction are Fuping Railway (under construction), Nansanlong Express Railway (under construction), Pujianmei Express Railway (under construction), Gan Long Double Track Railway (under construction) and Quning Railway (under construction).

The traffic between Fujian and the Central Plains in ancient times was blocked and developed late. According to records, only after the Qin and Han Dynasties did the road lead to neighboring provinces. Sun Wu of the Three Kingdoms attacked Fujian five times, which promoted the development of Fujian road. In the fifth year of Tang Ganfu (878), Huang Chao led the army into Fujian, which opened a new channel between Fujian and Zhejiang. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the postal route in Fujian was developed and the postal system was gradually improved. In the Qing Dynasty, a relatively perfect land transportation network was formed. However, due to the continuous mountains and valleys in the territory, it has never been developed into a thoroughfare for horses and chariots.

Shortly after the Revolution of 1911, Xu Shiying was appointed as the Governor of Fujian and began to build roads in Fuzhou. In 5 years of the Republic of China (19 16), the first road from the Ministry of Water to Fujin Street in Taijiang was built. Yanfuquan Automobile Co., Ltd., a joint venture between government and business, plans to build an automobile highway from Nanping to Quanzhou via Fuzhou, and 5 kilometers from Fuzhou West Gate to Hongshan Bridge will be built in the following year, which is the first sound of highway construction in Fujian Province. At that time, patriotic overseas Chinese were enthusiastic about mulberry construction along the coast of southern Fujian, and many overseas Chinese and local gentry and businessmen initiated road construction. In 8 years of the Republic of China, Zhangfu Highway was completed, which was the first expressway in the province. However, due to the warlord regime and years of war, highway construction has been deeply affected. At the end of Beiyang government, only 465,438+02 kilometers of highways were built in the whole province, and most of them were confined to the southeast of Fujian. In 1930s, Fujian highways began to develop, and the Kuomintang government built inter-provincial highways such as Fujian-Guangdong, Fujian-Jiangxi and Fujian-Zhejiang for military needs. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, although there are still new roads in Fujian, most of the trunk roads connecting the sea and coastal roads have been destroyed. In the late period of the War of Liberation, the Kuomintang troops were seriously damaged along the way when they retreated and fell into disrepair for a long time. On the eve of liberation of 1949, the dilapidated roads in the province were only 3,384 kilometers, and only 945 kilometers were opened to traffic, with low standards and poor road conditions.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), social productive forces were liberated and industrial and agricultural production developed rapidly, which opened up broad prospects for the development of highway transportation. 1950 started large-scale highway construction. On the one hand, it is necessary to complete the task of building Qian Zhi Highway in East China to support the great cause of liberation and consolidate coastal defense; On the other hand, damaged roads must be completely repaired to support the recovery and development of industrial and agricultural production. By the end of 1952, the key highway construction tasks in the early support and recovery period were successfully completed. By the end of 1954, the original road restoration and reconstruction task has been fully completed, the technical condition of the road has been obviously improved, and the road has taken on a new look. From 1955, a large-scale new highway construction period began. By the end of 1957, the mileage of the whole province had reached 6034 kilometers, leaving only five counties without roads. This is the peak period of Fujian highway development, which laid the basic skeleton of Fujian highway. During the period of 1958, in the process of carrying out the road construction policy of "the whole party and the whole people run the traffic" and "the popularization of the land" (that is, relying on the local authorities, relying on the masses and popularizing the land), the county and township roads developed rapidly, and by the end of the year, the counties and counties were connected. By the end of 1960, the total highway mileage in the whole province had reached 13269 km, making 80% of people's communes (towns) and 55% of production brigades (villages) have highways. 1966 to 1976 highway construction was disturbed by the "cultural revolution" and was in a tortuous state of development.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the whole Party shifted its focus to socialist modernization. With the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy, highway transportation has entered a new period. Highway work has changed from focusing solely on professional maintenance management to focusing on the management of the entire highway industry; From closed highway maintenance investment to pioneering multi-level, multi-channel and multi-form fund-raising road repair; From the simple road network in the past to the emphasis on outward radiation development, railway, water transport, aviation and other integrated transportation network. Gradually form a new highway network centered on Xiamen Special Economic Zone, Fuzhou-Mawei Economic Development Zone, the triangle of Xiamen, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou in southern Fujian, radiating to the coast and inland. According to statistics, since the reform and opening up 1 1 year, the province has added new highways 1092 1 km and built 2,553 new bridges with 74,273 meters. By the end of 1989, the mileage of the whole province had reached 40030 kilometers, which was more than 42 times higher than the 945 kilometers when 1949 was liberated. The province's average highway density reaches 32.43 kilometers per 100 square kilometers, ranking fifth in the country, making Fujian a well-connected highway network with the provincial capital as the center and connecting cities and counties, industrial and mining bases, major ports and tourist attractions in the province.

In 20 12 years, the mileage of highways was 94,660.86 kilometers, an increase of 2.5% over the previous year. Among them, the Haixi expressway network is 3,500 kilometers, an increase of 29.2%.
