en.Wedoany.com Reported - China's Ministry of Transport recently issued an acceptance opinion on the pilot task of "Integrated Development of Transportation and Tourism" under the national strength in transportation initiative in Shanxi Province, approving the tourism highway pilot task to pass acceptance.
The acceptance opinion pointed out that all contents of the tourism highway pilot task have been completed, achieving the expected goals of the pilot. Through the implementation of the pilot task, Shanxi Province has built three No. 1 Tourism Highways along the Yellow River, the Great Wall, and the Taihang Mountains, with a total mileage of 13,000 kilometers. This has established a province-wide tourism highway network featuring "city-to-scenic-spot connectivity, scenic-spot-to-scenic-spot connectivity, and urban-rural connectivity," linking 113 counties (cities, districts) across 11 cities in the province, covering 5,630 villages, and providing access to 531 national-level cultural relic protection sites, 779 provincial-level cultural relic protection sites, and 976 tourist attractions and scenic spots.
In terms of supporting service facilities along the tourism highways, 870 kilometers of slow-traffic lanes, 251 service stations, 82 campsites, 362 viewing platforms, 251 electric vehicle charging points, and 22,000 distinctive signs and markers have been built simultaneously along the three No. 1 Tourism Highways. Relying on the tourism highway network, the province has established 115 tourist distribution centers and 1,700 transportation-tourism consultation points and tourist shuttle bus stops. A total of 193 tourist bus routes have been opened for 4A-level and above scenic spots across the province.
In terms of smart tourism highway construction, 17,400 5G base stations have been deployed along the tourism highways, and smart demonstration sections represented by the Jinzhong Ring City Greenway and the Pingding section have been built. Transportation and public security departments have established five mechanisms for tourism highway safety hazard investigation, traffic flow monitoring, and graded management of traffic congestion. In terms of integrating general aviation with tourism, the province has cumulatively launched 16 low-altitude tourism projects, including those at Hukou Waterfall and Taihang Grand Canyon.
The acceptance opinion affirmed that the achievements of this tourism highway pilot project possess significant innovation, leadership, and value for demonstration and promotion. A number of replicable and scalable typical experiences have been formed in areas such as the construction of a province-wide tourism highway system, the formulation of tourism highway policy documents and standard specifications, and the role of tourism highways in supporting rural revitalization.
