Under the moonlit night, the Yellow Crane Tower breaks the peaks of Bashan Mountain and collects Xiaoxiang clouds and water. The mighty Yangtze River meets its longest tributary, Hanshui River, in the hinterland of Sanchu, creating a magnificent Wuhan with two rivers separated and three towns standing side by side. It is located at the eastern edge of Jianghan Plain, and the hills in southeastern Hubei fluctuate between lakes and swamps in Ye Ping. Tortoise and snake are sandwiched between two mountains, and ships on the river are woven. The Yellow Crane Tower fell from the sky. Located in Wuhan City, Hubei Province.
The Yellow Crane Tower is a masterpiece of classical and modern casting, poetic and artistic architecture. Located at the intersection of mountains and rivers, it caters to the folk customs of the Chinese nation, the spatial consciousness of being close to nature and the philosophical concept of advocating the universe. Climbing the Yellow Crane Tower will not only make you feel happy, but also make your mind and the image of the universe penetrate and blend with each other, thus purifying your mind. This is probably the reason why the beautiful charm of the Yellow Crane Tower has experienced wind and rain and the sun and the moon.
Wuchang Railway Station Wuchang Station
Wuchang Railway Station is located in Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province. Founded in 19 16, it was successively called Tongxiang Gate Station, Binyangmen Station, Wuchang Main Station and Wuchang South Station. Moved to the current site on 1957, and the current station is built on 1969.
1890, Zhang Zhidong, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, put forward the plan to build the Luhan Railway. In July, 1897, the Hankou-Shekou section started. In September, 1905, near Zhandian Station in Henan Province, the north-south section of Luhan Railway runs through. 1 906 April1day, Luhan Railway was opened to traffic and was designated as Han Jing Railway. 1965438+In August, 2002, the construction of Wuchang-Changsha section (called Hunan-Hubei Railway) started in Wuchang Muyutao. Due to the change of design scheme, the starting point of the Guangdong-Han Railway was moved northward from Nianyutao to Xujiapeng, but a railway station was built in the former site of Tongxiang Gate, which was called Tongxiang Gate Station. Tongxiang Gate Station was moved to Binyangmen on 1936 and renamed Wuchang South Station after liberation. Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge 1957 was renamed Wuchang Railway Station after it was completed and opened to traffic.
Wuchang station is located in the middle section of Beijing-Guangzhou line, at the intersection of Beijing-Guangzhou line, Wujiu line and Handan line. It is a comprehensive super-class station with passenger transportation as the mainstay and passenger and freight transportation as the supplement. It was built in 19 16 and officially opened in 19 18, formerly known as Tongxiang Gate Station. 1936, tongxiangmen station was cancelled, and Binyangmen station was established on this basis, which was later renamed Wuchang station. August 1950, renamed Wuchang south station; 1957 changed its name to its current name.
Wuchang Station is a passenger station (including Wuchang Line Station). The station area starts from the Wuchang line station signal at the foot of Sheshan Mountain in the north and ends at the uplink station signal in the south. There are a total of tracks 1 1 in the station, including two main tracks, track Ⅰ 739 meters and track Ⅱ 781meter. There are nine station lines.

There are eight workshops for passenger transport, ticketing, luggage, travel service, operation, water supply, logistics and sanitation. Two companies, namely Qiangbo Company and Changhong Company. 48 production teams.
Wuchang Station launched its own star service brand: Spring Service Brand. Establish Wuchang Station as the service brand of Spring Festival travel rush Station in the society.
The new Wuchang station, the largest railway station in Central China, was opened on 19.
19 16 1, a station on Zhongshan Road in Wuchang started construction and was completed in June of that year, formerly known as Tongxiang Gate Station. This is the predecessor of Wuchang Railway Station.
After 9 1 year's ups and downs and vicissitudes, the humble small station has become a magnificent station on the Beijing-Guangzhou line, namely the new Wuchang Railway Station, the largest railway station in Central China.
From 0: 00 on June 5438+09, the waiting room and platform of the new Wuchang Station were put into use. The reporter visited the station in advance yesterday.
The appearance of the new station is very charming.
When I walked to the new Wuchang station, I found that the shape of the whole station was similar to that of the "Chu Palace". The tone of the station is silver gray, and the external wall is inlaid with "bells", which is more characteristic of Jingchu ancient culture. In the waiting room, there are huge stone carvings with Jingchu characteristics.
According to reports, the roof of Wuchang Station is a steel grid structure with a span of 72 meters, and a beautiful arc is drawn in the sky. The roof adopts Al-Mg-Mn alloy panel, and its weight is 1/3 of ordinary color steel, which can not only absorb sound and reduce noise, but also have a service life of 50 years.
12 waiting room can accommodate 8000 people.
Yesterday morning, the reporter entered the waiting hall of the newly renovated New Wuchang Station. In the clean and tidy hall, 7000 silver-gray new aviation chairs are placed neatly and orderly.
At present, six escalators have been opened in the new Wuchang station. The reporters took the elevator to the waiting hall on the second floor. Through the wide transparent glass wall on the second floor, they can see the trains entering and leaving the station.
The new waiting room opened this time covers an area of 1 1600 square meters. Passengers can go to the corresponding waiting area according to the electronic signs after entering the station. "After the new station building is opened, passengers will not beat around the bush as before, and they can take the elevator from the waiting room to the platform." According to relevant sources, the new station building has 12 waiting rooms, which can accommodate more than 8,000 passengers at the same time, more than double the original.
During the period of Spring Festival travel rush, the ticketing hall of the new station building will also be put into use, which will greatly alleviate the congestion during the peak hours in Spring Festival travel rush every year.
A "big umbrella" was erected on the platform.
In the past, passengers got on the bus from the waiting hall to the platform without any obstacles. Now, the pillar-free canopy on the platform has been completely built, and passengers can get on and off to avoid the wind and rain.
It is understood that the column-free canopy is 486 meters long and 123 meters wide, and its shape is wavy to reflect the "Jiangcheng" characteristics of Wuhan.
After the completion of the reconstruction and expansion project of Wuchang Station, * * * has five platforms, and three platforms have been opened this time. According to the new international standards, the name of the platform has changed from the past. The first platform is the basic platform, called Platform A; The second platform near the west line is called the second platform, and the one near the east line is called the third platform; The third platform near the west line is called platform 4, and the one near the east line is called platform 5.
The plane of these platforms is consistent with the height of train carriages, which is convenient for special passengers such as the elderly, children and the disabled to get on and off.
It only takes 5 minutes from the waiting room to the platform.
After the opening of the new Wuchang station, passengers still need to go to the current temporary ticketing hall to buy tickets. It took the reporter about 3 minutes to walk from the ticket hall to the second floor of the new waiting room.
There are two elevators on the left and right of the hall, so you can take the elevator directly to the third floor. The lobby on the third floor is followed by waiting rooms 3-8. Passengers waiting here can reach the platform directly through the footbridge, which is very convenient. The reporter walked from waiting room 5 to platform 3 in less than 5 minutes.
In many areas, "elevators take the place of walking"
Compared with the old station, the new facilities of nursing room and disabled elevator feel more humanized.
The waiting hall on the second floor mainly includes waiting rooms 1 and 2, as well as VIP and soft seat waiting rooms. There is also a "barrier-free waiting room" and a "nursing room" specially set up for mothers with babies on the left.
According to the construction party, the new Wuchang Station has also adopted many humanized facilities. For example, elevators are installed on both sides from the first floor to the second floor of the waiting hall. An automatic elevator is also installed between the footbridge and the platform on the second floor.
Supporting facilities will be completed before Spring Festival travel rush next year.
In June last year, the reconstruction project of Wuchang Station started, with a total investment of more than 600 million yuan. According to reports, the former Wuchang Station was a relatively "backward" station on the Beijing-Guangzhou line. After the transformation, the station has become one of the best large stations on the Beijing-Guangzhou line.
It is reported that due to the partial opening, the square in front of the station, the exit and the ticket office have not been completed, and it is still inconvenient for passengers to enter the station. However, it is expected that the facilities of the new Wuchang Station will be improved during Spring Festival travel rush next year. Including the square in front of the station, regional roads, parking lots and other transportation projects. In the future, supporting subways, buses and taxis will be directly connected with the station, and passengers can get in and out of the station without crossing or barrier-free transfer.
The railway hub has a prominent position
The relevant person in charge of Wuhan Railway Bureau believes that with the transformation of Wuchang Railway Station as a symbol, Hubei's position as a railway hub is more prominent.
According to relevant sources, with the construction of Wuhan Railway Station, there will be three special railway stations in Wuhan, which is rare in cities all over the country.
[Edit this paragraph] Wuhan has re-established its position as the thoroughfare of nine provinces.
Today's Wuhan people can already imagine a fast new life of 20 13. By then, the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway passenger dedicated line across the Han Dynasty and the Shanghai-Han Rong express railway will all be completed and opened to traffic. From Wuhan to all parts of the country by train, the minimum speed per kilometer is 200 kilometers per hour and the maximum is 350 kilometers.
Experts in the railway sector analyzed this new scene just around the corner, saying that Wuhan will become a rare city in China with four lines running through railways in four directions, east, west, north and south, and its status as a national hub is beyond doubt.
Previously, Beijing-Zhuhai, Shanghai-Chengdu and expressway met in Han, forming Wuhan's pivotal position in national highway transportation. The hub of the latest "upgraded version" is the intersection of Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway and Shanghai high-speed railway in Han. This is a brand-new "golden cross".
In 2005, the State Council approved the National Medium-and Long-term Railway Network Planning, and planned to build a "four verticals and four horizontals" railway rapid passenger transport network, in which the Beijing-Wuhan-Guangzhou-Shenzhen passenger dedicated line, one of the "four verticals", and the Nanjing-Wuhan-Chongqing-Chengdu passenger dedicated line, one of the "four horizontals", meet in Wuhan. Therefore, Wuhan has become one of the four major passenger transport hubs in China.
After the completion of the Beijing-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line, the longitudinal axes will cross, and the journey from Beijing to Guangzhou will be shortened from the current 20 hours to 9 hours. At present, the Wuhan-Guangzhou section of the dedicated line started construction in June 2005 and will be opened to traffic next year. The section from Beijing to Shijiazhuang was officially opened in June this year. The Guangzhou-Shenzhen section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Railway, an extension of the Beijing-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line, started in June 5438+February 2005 and was opened to traffic the following year. Shenzhen Futian Railway Station, one of the Hong Kong projects, also broke ground in August this year.
The horizontal axis of the "cross"-the Shanghai-Han Rong Passenger Dedicated Line will open the passage to Sichuan and end the history that there is no railway in western Hubei. By then, it will take 9 hours from Shanghai to Chengdu. At present, the Hefei-Nanjing section of the passenger dedicated line was officially opened to traffic in April this year. The Hefei-Wuhan section started construction in June 2005 and will be opened to traffic next year. The most difficult Yichang-Wanzhou section was also started in 2004 and is scheduled to open to traffic by the end of next year. The section from Wuhan to Yichang is already under design, and it is reported that it will also be started at the end of the year, and it will be opened to traffic on 20 13.
Rapid passenger transport to build a five-hour metropolitan area
The national railway passenger dedicated line meets in Han, and the experts in the railway department are very excited: "Wuhan will once again become the thoroughfare of nine provinces."
In ancient times, people called Wuhan "the thoroughfare of nine provinces", which means that the waterway here is convenient, with Bashu in the west, wuyue in the east, Hanshui in the north and Henan and Shaanxi in the south via Dongting Lake. However, after China's reform and opening-up, roads, aviation and other modes of transportation were very developed, which temporarily deprived Wuhan of its advantages in extending in all directions.
2 1 century, the construction of the national rapid passenger railway network has given new value to the thoroughfare of nine provinces in Wuhan.
It is reported that after the opening of Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway and Shanghai high-speed railway, the railway speed will increase from 160 km to 250-350 km. With Wuhan as the center, Changsha, Zhengzhou, Nanchang, Hefei and other cities within 500 kilometers can take express passenger trains, which can be reached in 1-2 hours; /kloc-within 0/000 km of Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing and other places, the high-speed rail can be reached in 4 hours, of which Guangzhou only takes more than 3 hours. Experts in the railway sector believe that this central advantage can hardly be found in China.
In view of this special geographical location, the Ministry of Railways has planned Wuhan as one of the four rapid passenger transport hubs in China, and set up a motor train depot and a comprehensive maintenance base.
Wuhan has thus become a real railway hub. Experts in the railway sector believe that when two passenger dedicated lines are gradually taking shape, Wuhan's position as a hub in the country is also rising. Because among the four hubs, Beijing's position is beyond doubt, and the terminal hubs of Shanghai and Guangzhou are formed by the city's own economic scale, which is not convenient for expansion. Only Wuhan is the real link.
With the construction of Wuhan Railway Station supporting Wuhan-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line, Wuhan will eventually form a pattern of one city and three passengers. At present, only Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou have this condition. By then, Wuhan Station will undertake the passenger flow of the Beijing-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line, Hankou Station will mainly undertake the passenger flow of the East-West Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway, and Wuchang Station will mainly undertake the tasks of freight and ordinary trains, forming a circular Wuhan railway hub.
Expand North-South "Economic Broadband"
The change of space-time distance brought by traffic will have a great impact on regional economy.
Experts in the railway field believe that from a macro perspective, the Beijing-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line connects the economically developed areas of China, such as Bohai Bay, Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan, Wuhan City Circle, Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan City Group and Pearl River Delta, which directly accelerates the logistics and people flow, and has a great impact on the overall economic development of China, eventually forming an "economic broadband" that runs through Central China, South China, Southwest China, Hong Kong and Macao and stretches for nearly 2,200 kilometers.
According to statistics, the former Beijing-Guangzhou Railway was one of the busiest lines in the China North-South Railway Transport Corridor. Most of the mineral resources in western and northern China are transported by railway to the eastern and southern coastal areas where resources are scarce. In 2004, the freight volume between Xinxiang and Zhengzhou on Beijing-Guangzhou railway reached 60.53 million tons, and the one-way passenger traffic was 2 1.89 million. After the completion of the Beijing-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line, the old Beijing-Guangzhou Line will mainly undertake the freight task, which will undoubtedly increase the north-south freight capacity.
Therefore, the formation of Beijing-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line with Wuhan as the hub and Shanghai-expressway will make the radius of 1 1,000 km around Wuhan go back and forth on the same day, which will directly attract the investment eyes of multinational companies at home and abroad. On the other hand, coastal processing and manufacturing industries are moving inland. Wu Hanyou has the advantages of raw material transportation and labor force, and it is very convenient to develop manufacturing industry. At the same time, the huge flow of people has also stimulated regional consumption.
Shorten the distance between time and space, and increase the communication opportunities between Wuhan and neighboring cities such as Changsha and Zhengzhou. At present, the traffic between the three cities is not convenient. It takes at least 3-4 hours by train between Wuhan and these two cities. If you take the passenger dedicated line, 1 hour will get there.
Jianghan customhouse
Jianghan Pass in Hankou is a building with Greek classical and European Renaissance architectural styles. Because it stands at the right angle of Jiang Yan Road, the east and north sides of the building are displayed in front of people, unlike the three customs buildings in Shanghai and Guangzhou, which are arranged together with the left and right houses. The buildings around Jianghan Pass are much lower than it, so Jianghan Pass is particularly eye-catching, solemn and elegant.
The establishment of Jianghan Pass
Customs is the administrative organ of a sovereign country, which enforces entry and exit laws, supervises freight transportation, collects customs duties and prohibits smuggling.
186 1 Before the opening of the port, the Qing government only set up inland checkpoints in Wuhan towns such as Jiangguan in Wuchang, Chaoguan in Hanyang, Xizongguan in Hankou and Hanguan in Hankou. After the opening of Hankou Port, the inland checkpoints were abolished, and Jianghan Pass based on Han Pass was established.
186 1 In March, Britain unilaterally promulgated the Yangtze River Trade Charter and Article 12 of the Yangtze River Trade Charter, which stipulated: "Foreign businessmen can load and unload legal commercial goods at ports above Zhenjiang as long as they go through formalities in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and do not need to go through any customs formalities before returning to Zhenjiang." As a result, foreign ships flocked into the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The official document of the then Governor of Huguang expressed dissatisfaction with this.
The official document then wrote to the Qing court, requesting the establishment of a customs office in Hankou. After many twists and turns, Yu Yi, the minister of the Prime Minister's yamen, finally sent a letter saying, "... to Hankou, according to the governor, customs clearance should be set up, so customs clearance should be allowed and inspection should be conducted ..."
1 86365438+1 October1day, the opening and closing ceremony of Jianghan Customs was officially opened under the witness of Zheng Lan, Jianghan Customs Supervisor of Junjun Road, Hanhuangde Road (186365438+1October1day before. 1863 65438+ 10/0/5. Cody Toma, the First Tax Bureau of Jianghan Customs, declared to Hurd, the Chief Tax Bureau.
General situation of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge
Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is located in Wuhan City, Hubei Province. The bridge spans between Wuchang Snake Mountain and Hanyang Tortoise Mountain, which is often called Tortoise and Snake Lock River. Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is the first railway and highway bridge built on the Yangtze River in China. The total length of the whole bridge is1670m, in which the main bridge1156m, the north bank approach bridge is 303m, and the south bank approach bridge is 2 1 1 m.. From the basement to the highway bridge deck, the height is 80 meters, and the lower floor is a two-lane railway bridge with a width of 14.5 meters. Two trains can leave at the same time. The upper floor is a highway bridge with a width of 22.5 meters, in which: carriageway 18 meters, 4 lanes; The sidewalks on both sides of the roadway are 2.25m each. The bridge is a triple continuous bridge with 3 holes in each connection and 9 holes in ***8 piers. The span of each hole is128m, and the ship can sail all the year round. Played a great role.
At both ends of the main bridge, there are bridgehead with ethnic style, each 35 meters high, with 7 floors from the lobby on the ground floor to the pavilion, and there are electric elevators for people to get up and down. The annex buildings are beautifully coordinated with various decorations, and the whole bridge is extremely magnificent. If you take the electric elevator from the ground floor, you can visit the bridge deck directly. Looking around, the three towns in Wuhan are connected into one, and the Jinghan and Yuehan railways separated by the Yangtze River have also been opened one after another, forming a complete Beijing-Guangzhou line, which makes people relaxed and imaginative. It's really "a bridge flies north and south, and natural hazards become a thoroughfare."
Brief introduction of Wuhan Yangtze River Tunnel
Wuhan Yangtze River Tunnel, located between Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge and Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, is the first tunnel crossing the Yangtze River, also known as "the first tunnel of the Yangtze River". The entrance of the tunnel is located in Shengli Street in Hankou, and the exit is built on Tianjin Road. Build an import and export passage on Friendship Avenue in Wuchang. The total length of the tunnel is about 3,630 meters, and the estimated investment of the project is 2,048.6 million yuan. It is a two-way four-lane highway tunnel, with the left and right tunnels isolated, with a clear lane height of 4.5 meters and a design speed of 50 kilometers per hour. Wuhan Yangtze River Tunnel started construction on June 28th, 2004. Shield tunneling started in March, 2006, with a daily tunneling distance of 8-10 m and a depth of 30 -40 m across Wuchang River. On April 9, 2008, the Wuhan Yangtze River Tunnel was successfully completed. On February 28th, 2008, it was put into trial operation, with a commissioning period of three months, running every day for 18 hours. The trial operation period is from March 2009 to March 20 10, and it was officially opened to traffic in April 20 10. After the opening of the Yangtze River Tunnel, it is expected that about 20% of the river-crossing traffic in the downtown area of Wuhan will be diverted to ease the traffic pressure on the first and second bridges of the Yangtze River.
Minsheng bank building
Wuhan Minsheng Bank Building is the tallest building in Wuhan at present, with 3 floors underground and 68 floors above ground, with a total floor elevation of 249.3m, a total building height of 33 1.3m and a total construction area of about1.5m. It is located at No.396 Xinhua Road, Hankou, Wuhan, with the main building1to 66th floors. The project is divided into two podium buildings in the north and south, including Minsheng Bank business hall, banquet hall, multifunctional clubhouse, tennis court, stock exchange, Chinese and western restaurants, swimming pool and so on. This project is currently the highest Grade A office building in Wuhan.
