From Chengdu to Xi’an, Zhuge Liang walked all his life, now it only takes 3 hours

Now it can be achieved in three hours

On the day of National Day, Chengdu Wuhou Temple was crowded with people, whether it was under the large vermilion plaque with the inscription "Han Zhaolie Temple", or next to 28 statues of Shu Han civil servants and generals, there were tourists taking a group photo. On a two-person tall "National Three Kingdoms Cultural Relics Sitemap", there are densely packed relics throughout Shaan, Sichuan, Chongqing and Yunnan, and many people stop to take a closer look.

"Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan six from the middle of Shu, and then the stars fell to Wuzhangyuan. This road was really difficult. In fact, even if it was three years ago, let alone come to Chengdu, the journey from Xi'an to Hanzhong made people worry, and he had to spend the night on the train." Speaking in the Guanzhong dialect of Shaanxi, Uncle Hou pointed to the road across the Qinling Mountains on the map and said to his daughter that on the blue map, the Shu Road from Xi'an to Chengdu has been touched by tourists.

The Qinling Mountains are towering and steep, the Ba valley has steep slopes, and the Shu Road is difficult. To a large extent, it is difficult to climb over the Qinba Mountains. Li Bai was thinking of Jincheng Yunle, and he had to sigh the difficulty of moving from Shan to Shu. There was a fellow next to him who picked up Uncle Hou's words: "So it is said on the Internet that the prime minister has walked his entire life, now it only takes 3 hours."

Traveling in Chengdu is a magical experience. Shaanxi dialects can be heard in almost all scenic spots. As expected, they are all traveled by high-speed rail. The speeding high-speed rail makes the two places a good choice for short trips to each other. "The steamed buns in Xi'an, the hot rice skins in Hanzhong, and the hot pot in Chengdu. You can change the pattern three times a day." "You can see the different wisdom of ancient artifacts in one day by hearing the morning bell of Dayan Pagoda in the morning, and admiring bamboo in the evening at Wuhou Temple." ……When it comes to the beauty of food, there are indispensable phrases such as "Yunzhali" and "Ba Shi".

"New Shu Road" does not drop

Traveling is more convenient than taking the "bus"

Uncle Hou is a native of Lantian, Shaanxi. This National Day and his family came to Sichuan for fun. They not only took the high-speed rail from Xi’an, but also bought the high-speed rail tickets for traveling in Sichuan Province. “It takes only ten minutes to take the high-speed rail from Chengdu to Dujiangyan. It takes only 40 minutes to reach Leshan. The high-speed rail is more comfortable than the bus, and there is no traffic jam."

The 52-year-old Hou Shu is a salesperson. He started to take charge of the southern Shaanxi area when he first started working. He mentioned that he went to Hanzhong from Xi’an for the first time in the 1980s. He laughed and said, “I was a 20-year-old boy at the time. I went to Hanzhong for an internship with my classmates. A few people sat in the hard seat for almost 10 hours. They only arrived after playing cards for one night. It was strange to get off the bus. I was from Shaanxi, but I didn’t understand them. Later I knew the dialect. There is Sichuan flavor in it."

After the completion of the Xi-Han Expressway in 2007, the Qinling super-long tunnel group, known as the "Century Surprise", shortened the distance from Xi'an to Hanzhong to more than three hours, but to the south to Chengdu, the horizontal Daba Mountain is still the sky.

And 10 years later, on December 6, 2017, the Xicheng-Chengdu high-speed rail opened to traffic, allowing Xi'an to Chengdu to be as fast as 3 hours and 9 minutes, which is more than 13 hours shorter than the journey of ordinary trains. Li Bai also could not think that the thousand-year-old Shu Road of "the flying of the yellow crane is still unacceptable, and the ape is desperate to climb and support". After being linked by the high-speed rail, the two places can also "repay thousands of miles of Jiangling in one day."

From morning to night, Jinli's popularity continues.

Kuanzhai alley. Picky Chengdu diners believe that half of the unpalatable Chengdu is in Jinli, and the other half is in Kuanzhai Alleys, and these two places really attracted a lot of people during the National Day.

Not long after the opening of the high-speed rail, Wang Cong became popular because of the phrase "Xicheng High-speed Rail is our matchmaker". When recording the program on CCTV, the Chengdu guy told about his special relationship with the high-speed rail.

Wang Cong’s girlfriend, Gao Jia, is a Baoji girl. The two met in 2014 and have a strong relationship, but the towering Qinling Mountains have been between the two families. In 2017, Gao Jia’s parents went to Chengdu to see their daughter. They took more than an hour from Meixian to catch the train in Baoji. By accident, the train was late. The old couple took 15 hours to arrive. They kept facing Wang Cong Say: "You are too far here."

"The high-speed rail will be available this year. It will be convenient to go home now." Wang Cong said this sentence for a few years. He used to persuade his girlfriend before. This time he also successfully convinced his girlfriend's parents. He has been paying attention to the Xicheng high-speed rail for several years. Construction progress.

As China's first high-speed railway crossing the Qinling Mountains, the Xicheng High-speed Railway traverses the Guanzhong Plain, Qinling Mountains, Hanzhong Basin, Bashan Mountains, and Sichuan Basin from north to south. It is the world's first high-speed railway crossing difficult and dangerous mountains.

Sitting on the Xicheng high-speed rail, the most prominent feeling is that there are many tunnels, especially in the Shaanxi section. As soon as you exit one tunnel, you enter the next one. This is because the Qinling Mountains have many fault layers, rich water systems and extremely complex geological conditions. Therefore, after considering environmental protection and construction technology, they adopted the form of "tunnel groups" to cross the Qinling Mountains. The proportion of bridges and tunnels in the Shaanxi section of the Qinling Mountains is as high as 94%.

It is worth mentioning that although it is a mountainous high-speed rail, the car is fully covered by 4G signals. Even if a tunnel is drilled in the Qinling Mountains, the signal is still unimpeded, which is more convenient than a bus shuttle in Bashan, Qinling. With this "big bus", Wang Cong's marriage is also on the agenda.

"New Year's Eve Dinner" on National Day

High-speed rail brings a mobile economy

The Xicheng High-speed Railway, which has a dazzling "protagonist aura" from the time of construction, not only brings fragrant food and endless beautiful scenery along the way, but also serves as a link between the two cultures and promotes regional economic development. .

There is a mountain of flowers and fruits in Hantai District of Hanzhong City. It is on the southern slope of the Qinling Mountains. It is surrounded by rivers and mountains. The fragrance of melons and fruits every autumn. Because of the beautiful scenery, people living in downtown Hanzhong will come here to eat during holidays. Farm meals, live in a farm house, pick farm fruits and experience farm life. Tian Qiang also opened a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain. In his backyard, there are peaches in summer and oranges in autumn.

If the opening of the Xi'an-Chengdu high-speed rail is an extra expressway for people in Xi'an to leave the province, then for Hanzhong, which is located in the Qinba mountain area, it is a new opportunity to get rid of poverty and become rich.

The Dujiangyan Scenic Area also ushered in a peak of passenger flow on National Day

For Tian Qiang, the benefits brought by the Xicheng high-speed rail are visible. Although there were tourists in the past, most of them were repeat customers or acquaintances. "The original business can only be said to be so-so. Most of the 20 beds are often empty. No matter how fragrant the rice is, no matter how sweet the fruit is, I am afraid of deep mountains.

Now take the high-speed rail from Hanzhong, one hour north to Xi’an and two hours south to Chengdu. The ancient road in the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains, the Pearl of Foping, the hometown of the crested ibis on the edge of the mountain, Yangxian, the hometown of Zhang Qian on Pingchuan, are also connected in series. . The high-speed rail brings a mobile crowd to Hanzhong, and the crowd also brings a mobile economy to his yard. Now his annual income is nearly 100,000 more than before. Sometimes there are too many orders to receive, and he has to "reject orders."

Not only Hanzhong, but many cities along the Xicheng High-speed Railway have benefited from this. A large number of cities such as Guangyuan, Mianyang, and Deyang are integrated into the high-speed rail network as a whole, which greatly saves the time and cost of business transactions. The northwest and southwest economic centers are connected to the two major economic zones of "Chengdu-Chongqing" and "Guanzhong-Tianshui". In addition to opening up high-quality tourism resources, as an important national military industrial corridor, cooperation is even more seamless.

During the National Day, due to the floods the other day, I can’t go down to the Buddha’s feet

The punctual, fast, and economical high-speed rail has also greatly reduced the space-time distance from Sichuan to Beijing and Shanghai. How convenient is it? Rui Rui, a girl from Chengdu who works in Beijing, has a say. In 2012, she went to Beijing to study at university and stayed in Beijing to work after graduation. "When I was studying, I went home by taking a train with a Z-head. That car took 21 hours and it was difficult to buy tickets. One winter vacation for me I went back a few days later, and during the Spring Festival, I couldn't buy a ticket. As a result, I took a 30-hour green leather car and got home in the early morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year."

In Ruirui’s second year at work, the Xicheng high-speed rail opened to traffic. That winter, she grabbed the high-speed rail home early that year, and planned a two-day trip to Xi’an with her mother during the Chinese New Year. “Although I have always liked Han and Tang culture very much, I went to Xi’an for the first time after the high-speed rail was opened to traffic. I went to Datang Everbright City to experience the Chang’an New Year.” In the photo of the circle of friends, she was leaning on the edge of Xi’an city wall thoughtfully, with elegant Hanfu fabrics, under the setting sun. , The red coat is covered with soft light, and she wore this dress to the Forbidden City and Jinli to take photos.

During the National Day holiday, Rui Rui chose to take the high-speed rail home. "This is my first time back to Chengdu after the epidemic. My family was worried when I left for the New Year. This time, I will spend a long time with them at home." Tian Qiang received a lot of accommodation orders before the National Day. Some people ordered to eat his specialties-dried vegetables stewed pork feet and vegetable tofu roasted goose. "A guest came last summer and liked the mountain air very much. I’m going to live for three days this time, saying that the food should be prepared in accordance with the New Year’s Eve dinner. This year’s National Day really feels like a Chinese New Year."
