In fact, since the founding of New China, the state has attached great importance to the traffic in Guangxi. In the past 70 years, the fixed assets of highway and waterway transportation in Guangxi have increased from 470,000 yuan in 1950 to 81200 million yuan in 20 18. Guangxi's annual investment in transportation fixed assets increased from 26 million yuan before the reform and opening up to 20.8 billion yuan after the reform and opening up. In the past 70 years, guangxi traffic's fixed assets investment has achieved five-step development leap: during the period of 1958- 1978, the total investment of the whole region was 705 million yuan; During the period of 1979- 1998, the accumulated investment was 26.553 billion yuan; 1999-2002, the accumulated investment in fixed assets was 24.86 billion yuan; During the period of 2003-2007, it entered the explosive period of transportation investment, and the accumulated investment in fixed assets was 73.06 billion yuan in five years, 2.2 times that of the previous five years; During 2008-20 18, the accumulated investment in transportation reached a new height at the key node of China's 40 years of reform and opening up, with an investment of 705.82 billion yuan. In 20 19, the investment in highway and waterway will reach 1003 billion yuan, making it the fourth member of western provinces with 100 billion investment.
Many people don't know that the railway mileage in Guangxi before liberation was only 539 kilometers. After the liberation of Guangxi, although the country is poor and the people are poor, it still attaches great importance to the traffic in Guangxi, especially after the reform and opening up, the traffic development speed in Guangxi has also entered a stage of rapid development. 1987, the entire Nanning-Fangchenggang railway was opened to traffic. By 1990, the Nanning-Kunming Railway, known as "the largest poverty alleviation project in China", was completed in Nanning. 1997, Nankun Railway was completed and put into operation. This railway is also the most convenient sea passage in the southwest and the main east-west traffic trunk line in the south.
We know that since 2008, Guangxi has vigorously promoted the construction of "one axis, four verticals and four horizontals" railway network system, and built a large channel connecting the eastern, central and western regions. The Luozhan Railway, which was completed in 2009, ended the history that there was no railway in Guidong. Later, in 20 13, the first high-speed train from Guilin to Beijing in Guangxi officially started, and Guangxi became the first minority autonomous region in China to open high-speed trains, marking the official entry of Guangxi into the high-speed rail era. By 20 18, the operating mileage of Guangxi railway has reached more than 5,000 kilometers, of which the operating mileage of high-speed rail has reached 1700 kilometers.
It can be seen from this that although the economic conditions in Guangxi are not very good, the traffic in Guangxi has developed very rapidly, even surpassing some coastal provinces. Of course, the reason why guangxi traffic has developed so well is mainly because the state attaches great importance to Guangxi. On the other hand, it is also because Guangxi is close to Guangdong, the first strong economic province. As a brother of Guangdong, Guangxi is certainly taken care of by Guangdong, and many high-speed trains are connected to Guangzhou.
