on september 18, the launch ceremony of the large-scale online publicity event "discover the most beautiful railway and explore the imprint of the republic" was held at beijing railway station. on the 20th, the "most beautiful discovery group" consisting of more than 50 people including central and local mainstream media, internet positive energy celebrities and railway industry experts took the beijing-zhangjiakou high-speed railway to the 115-year-old qinglongqiao station, visited this century-old station at the foot of the great wall, and listened to the spiritual inheritance of serving china's economic and social development for a century from the beijing-zhangjiakou railway to the beijing-zhangjiakou high-speed railway.
qinglongqiao station is the most representative station on the beijing-zhangjiakou railway and is also the best preserved century-old station. more than a hundred years ago, the beijing-zhangjiakou railway had a difficult start. facing the mountains and ridges in the badaling area, mr. zhan tianyou overcame all difficulties and cleverly adopted the "herringbone" line with extraordinary wisdom, which reduced the slope and the curve radius, creating the possibility for the smooth passage of trains. this design is a milestone in the history of chinese railways. qinglongqiao station has therefore become a symbol of china's railway technological innovation, inspiring later generations to continue to climb the peak of science and technology.
as china's first intelligent high-speed railway, the opening of the beijing-zhangjiakou high-speed railway has not only greatly shortened the distance between beijing and zhangjiakou, but also injected new impetus into the coordinated development of beijing-tianjin-hebei. as an important station on this high-speed railway, qinglongqiao station is like a bridge connecting tradition and modernity. in the grand blueprint of the beijing-zhangjiakou high-speed railway, qinglongqiao station once again plays an important role. the newly built beijing-zhangjiakou high-speed railway passes through the underground center of qinglongqiao station, and combines with the "human" shaped line of the old beijing-zhangjiakou railway to form a "big" character. the new and old beijing-zhangjiakou railway lines have achieved a "handshake" across a century at qinglongqiao station. this scene is not only a tribute to history, but also a look into the future.
looking into the future, qinglongqiao station will continue to be an important node of the beijing-zhangjiakou railway, witnessing the vigorous development of china's railway industry. qinglongqiao station will also welcome tourists from all over the world with a more open attitude, jointly heralding the bright future of the vigorous development of china's railways.
