New rail lines enhancing tourism sector of Yangtze River Delta in China

NANJING – Along with the trial of high-speed rail route between Hangzhou and Nanjing last month, three main cities are now fully connected, making Yangtze River Delta a “onehour economic circle”. However, in the eyes of travel professionals, it could be rephrased
as “one-hour tourism circle”.

There are rich tourism sources around the delta region such as Yangtze River, Qiantang River, the Great Canal, Tianmu Lake, Tai Lake, the West Lake, etc. The launch of new high-speed rail lines now offer twofold benefits: enable tourists to travel around this area much more conveniently and shorten time on the way to save more for visiting sites. It is therefore not just an improvement of infrastructure, but a great and new opportunity for tourism industry.

With the central government’s emphasis on developing the area and based on this thorough transport network, the Yangtze River Delta region is now on its way to become a modern first-rate international tourism destination.
