Lincang, I can't wait. ......

65438+On February 30th, 2020, Yunnan Dali-Lincang Railway officially opened for operation, marking the end of the history of Yunnan Lincang Railway impassability.

Lincang is a bright spot in Yunnan's development, with many happy events. As early as June 5438+ 10, 2020, Lincang Municipal Government of Yunnan signed the Letter of Intent for Holding China-Myanmar Border Economic and Trade Fair with Myanmar Trade Promotion Bureau of Ministry of Commerce. With the continuous promotion of China-Myanmar Qingshuihe Border Economic Cooperation Zone, Lincang will soon become the main trade zone between Myanmar and China.

Yang Haodong, secretary of Lincang Municipal Party Committee, once said: "We have the advantages of national culture, but we can't carry it forward, develop it and develop it;" We have good mountains and waters, good fruits, good sugar cane, good nuts and good tea, but the processing can't keep up, the technology can't keep up, the industry can't keep up, the industrial chain is short and the added value is low; We have geographical advantages and border advantages, but infrastructure is not good, urban and rural construction is not good, railways are impassable, expressway is impassable, and borders are not alive or rich. "

There are two kinds of anxiety, one is to hate iron and not produce, and the other is to be in a hurry.

Lincang's worry is obviously the latter.

Editor Cui He looked at the think tank.

1 golden intersection

/kloc-by the end of 0/9, the forces of western powers had approached Yunnan, and Britain occupied Myanmar in an attempt to enter Yunnan from the west. Davis, an Englishman, wrote a book after visiting Yunnan on foot for four times-Yunnan: the link between India and the Yangtze River. He made a detailed record of the ethnic distribution, climate products and human geography of Mianning (now Linxiang District, Lincang). The purpose of Davis's investigation is to build a railway from Myanmar to Yunnan, then pass through Yunnan and Sichuan in China, and enter the Chinese mainland market with the help of the completed Hancheng line, which has always been the dream of British business circles.

Why is it favored? Many people may not understand it, because Yunnan is the frontier of China and Lincang is the frontier among the frontiers. Compared with the central and eastern provinces, the geographical position of Yunnan is quite unsatisfactory. It is not only far from the main political and economic center of China, but also mountainous. Even the traffic in all parts of the province is very tortuous: Dali is west, Yuxi is southwest, and the railway has not yet been built.

But if you look at Yunnan from the world map, it is located in the "hub Sanya" of East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia, with 16 national first-class ports and 7 second-class ports. Dulong River (Irrawaddy River), Nujiang River (salween), Lancang River (Mekong River), Jinsha River (Yangtze River), Yuanjiang River (Red River) and Nanpanjiang River (Pearl River) can all form Yunnan's natural "international gateway". As the central hub of Sanya, Yunnan has an irreplaceable position and role.

In terms of economic access. From Yunnan to the east, it can be connected with the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta economic circles; Extending southward, it can directly reach Hanoi, Bangkok, Singapore and Yangon through the east, middle and west lines of the Trans-Asian Railway under construction; North can lead to the hinterland of Sichuan and China; To the west, it can go directly to Chittagong via Myanmar to communicate with the Indian Ocean, cross the South Asian subcontinent, connect with the Middle East, reach the Maladiya bifurcation in Turkey, turn to Europe in the northwest, and turn to Africa in the southwest.

Lincang, located in the southwest of Yunnan, is in the center of Asia in the world reference system. At the commanding height of the whole Indo-China Peninsula, it overlooks the super-large geographical plates with a total population of hundreds of millions-the Red River Delta, Mekong River Plain and Irrawaddy River Plain of Indo-China Peninsula.

Externally, Lincang is the closest land passage for China to enter the Indian Ocean. The distance from Kunming to Kyaukphyu, Myanmar by land via Qingshui River in Lincang is 1633 km, which is 140 km and 223 km shorter than that from Ruili Port in Dehong and Rhoda Port in Xishuangbanna, respectively.

Internally, from Lincang to Dali to Panzhihua, Sichuan, it can connect the Yangtze River Economic Belt and enter the international channel of "Chongqing, New Europe"; From Lincang to Wenshan to Fangchenggang, Guangxi, you can connect the Pearl River Economic Circle and enter the Pacific Ocean to connect the Maritime Silk Road.

In addition to geographical advantages, National Geographic has an evaluation of Lincang: colorful Yunnan, colorful Lincang. The secret of the south of the colorful clouds is in Lincang.

Located at the crossroads of the geographical boundary between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, the annual average temperature is 18.5, and the forest coverage rate is 68.78%. It has the reputation of "Asia's Constant Temperature City".

The Lancang River, praised by poets as the "River of the Gods", flows 306.6 kilometers east of Lincang. Three million-kilowatt power stations-Manwan Power Station, Dachaoshan Power Station and Xiaowan Power Station-have been built in this section of the basin, forming a magnificent landscape of the Lancang River Gorge and a hundred miles long lake.

It is not only an important hydropower energy base in China, but also has many titles: Yunnan is an important sugar and wine production base, located in the origin center of tea and tea culture in the world, the birthplace of Pu 'er tea, yunnan black tea and big leaf steamed green tea, the largest black tea production base and raw material base of Pu 'er tea in China, and the largest macadamia nut base in China.

Lock in the prime of life

This is a secret place at the golden crossroads. In 20 19, the main economic indicators of lincang ranked in the whole province:

The regional GDP is 75.926 billion yuan, ranking11in the whole province;

Total industrial added value 12 1.85 billion yuan, ranking11in the whole province;

The balance of RMB deposits in financial institutions is 696,543.8+66 million yuan, ranking 12 in the province;

The per capita disposable income of urban residents is 29,524 yuan, ranking15 in the whole province;

Note: The ranking is *** 16 city and state.

The unique location advantage does not make Lincang people enjoy the convenience brought by "sitting on the core". Lincang license plate "Yun S" is the most vivid license plate in Yunnan Province: Lincang Road is like a winding "S", which locks the hope inside and outside.

On the one hand, the majestic mountains endow Lincang with rich resources such as biology, minerals and tourism, on the other hand, such natural barriers stifle foreign convenience. Many investors also lamented: "Lincang is rich in resources, inconvenient in transportation, far from the market, and the cost is too high."

Traffic inconvenience has existed since ancient times.

"Through a deep valley, the cliffs on both sides are so steep that it is almost impossible to climb. Apart from the riverbed, there is hardly an inch of flat land. " This is Davis' first impression of Lincang. 1894 In February, Davis came to Qinglong Bridge in Mianning along the ancient tea-horse road. Qinglong Bridge is composed of 16 iron cable, which is the throat fortress downstream of the ancient tea-horse road. "Fengqing County Records" records: "Qinglong Bridge, located on the Lancang River 43 kilometers north of the county seat, is the only important bridge leading to Weishan and Shimonoseki in history."

Note: Downstream is the ancient tea-horse road from Shunning (now Fengqing County) to Shimonoseki.

The experience of hard walking made Davis give up the idea of building a railway here.

Before liberation, Lincang had only one broken service road connecting Mengdingha to Midu and Baoshan to Fengqing, and there was no real road traffic. After liberation, National Highway 2 14 is the main channel for Lincang to go out. It is nearly ten hours' drive from Kunming, the provincial capital. Difficulties in travel and transportation are the biggest shortcomings of local development for a long time.

Lincang is not without opportunities.

One hundred years ago, in Sun Yat-sen's founding strategy, he planned to build the "Third Continental Bridge in Europe and Asia" in Lincang, taking Lincang as the best exit to the Indian Ocean and Mengding as the "best entrance to the Yunnan-Myanmar Railway".

After the full-scale outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, in order to break the Japanese blockade and ensure the supply of anti-Japanese war materials from the Indian Ocean, the National Government began to build the Yunnan-Myanmar Railway from Kunming to Lashio, Myanmar via Mengding in Lincang.

The railway will dig 43 tunnels and cross the river 76 times. Tens of thousands of engineers and technicians and 300,000 migrant workers waved shovels and hoes, hand-painted construction drawings and carried building materials on their backs. At that time, most young men in Yunnan had joined the army to fight, so more than one third of the workers were women and children.

Moreover, six of the eight counties under the jurisdiction of Lincang, which passes through the western line, have been designated as "malaria high-incidence areas". Drinking water and the environment have been polluted. Disease, hunger and hard work have cost many lives. About100000 people fell on the Yunnan-Myanmar railway that year, which is equivalent to a skeleton every eight meters. The west line project mainly goes down the Nanting River, and the bodies of countless people are thrown into the Nanting River. Nanting River became the river of death.

In four years, the Yunnan-Myanmar Railway has basically completed 50% of the line works (subgrade earthwork 56%, tunnel 52% and bridge 45%). )

194 1 After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, they turned to Southeast Asia as a battlefield. At that time, the British troops guarding Yangon, Myanmar lost to the Japanese army, and Yangon, Myanmar fell into the hands of the Japanese army. The fall of Yangon made the Yunnan-Myanmar Railway, which had helped China to obtain Myanmar supplies, a sharp weapon for the Japanese army to March into China, and the National Government had to blow up the restored infrastructure project.

In this way, historical opportunities passed by, and Lincang became one of the cities and States in Yunnan that did not have a railway.

Three out of the province, five out of the province, come on!

Tourists should come in, products should go out, life should keep up, roads should be repaired, roads should be repaired, and roads should be repaired.

Let's talk about Lincang Railway first.

Dalin Railway started construction on February 6, 20 15, and was officially opened to traffic on February 30, 2020.

As an important channel of Yunnan's "eight provinces and five exits" railway network, this 202-kilometer-long railway will connect Kunming and Panzhihua at the northern end through the vast line and Chengdu-Kunming line, connect Qingshuihe Port in the southwest through the planned Lincang-Qingshuihe railway, and connect Yumo Railway under construction in the southeast through the planned Lincang-Pu 'er railway, which is an important support for building Yunnan into a strong strategic link between the domestic market and the international market in South Asia and Southeast Asia.

Kunming is 553 kilometers from Lincang. In the past, it took 9 to 10 hour to drive, but Dalin Railway shortened the journey to 3.5 hours. After Lincang to Linqing expressway at Qingshuihe Port is opened to traffic, the journey between the two places will be shortened from the current 4 hours to 2 hours, which will be seamlessly connected with the Kunming Passage, and the west and middle lines of the Trans-Asian Railway will be connected.

We can imagine that if we take the Yunnan-Guangxi high-speed train to Kunming, then from Kunming to Lincang, enter Myanmar through the Qingshuihe port in Mengding, then pass Lashio to Kyaukphyu on the edge of the Indian Ocean, and then cross the sea to Europe, the journey will be shortened by more than 2,000 kilometers.

In addition, Dalin Railway can also be regarded as the longitudinal axis of the "golden cross" of Lincang railway traffic.

The horizontal axis is the Yunnan section of the border railway from Monkey Bridge to Fangchenggang, a newly started major infrastructure project in Yunnan Province. According to the plan, this line connects Yunnan horizontally with the "five-exit" railway international passage connecting South Asia and Southeast Asia, which will become the closest passage connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean on land in China, and it is also the realization of Sun Yat-sen's dream of "connecting Guangxi and Yunnan provinces and playing an important role in the world in the future", and its significance is comparable to that of the Longhai Railway across China.

In addition, expressway in Lincang.

In 20 17, Yunnan launched the "all-in-one" project in expressway, and Lincang started the construction of 1 1 (section) 667km expressway. In February of that year, Lincang Airport was completed and opened to traffic at a high speed, achieving a "zero" breakthrough in expressway.

20 18 12, expressway from Mengding to Qingshui was put into trial operation and opened to traffic, which opened the "last mile" to South Asia and Southeast Asia.

On June 5438+1October 2 1 day, 2020, the section from Yunxian County to Fengqing County in Yunfeng expressway was officially opened to traffic, which was the first inter-county expressway in Lincang. Also in this year, Sara, Zhenqing and Yunfeng were all opened to traffic.

There is also expressway on the Yunnan border, passing through three counties: Lincang Town, Kang, Gengma and Cangyuan. Once completed, it will form a "golden cross" intersection with Dalin Railway and Border Railway.

Finally, the shipping in Lincang.

Lincang's shipping mileage is 447.6 kilometers, and the wharf 10 has been built. It is also one of the four cities and states in Yunnan with dual airports (Lincang Airport and Cangyuan Airport). With the official completion and use of Terminal 2 of Lincang Airport, the construction of Fengqing General Airport has started. Together with Yongde General Airport, Mengding Branch Airport and Yunxian General Airport, Lincang will have six airports in the near future!

"Lincang will make every effort to build a three-dimensional comprehensive transportation network with aviation as the guide, railways and expressway as the backbone and water transportation as the supplement." Zhang Zhizheng, deputy secretary of Lincang Municipal Party Committee and mayor, said that Lincang will open the window to the sun with the "Feiyan" comprehensive transportation network, which will further release the geographical advantages of "facing South Asia, shouldering two oceans and connecting the river with the sea" and create a "wonderful Lincang" comprehensive transportation network.

4 major changes in industrial restructuring

Road is not only a road, but also a basic industry and economy.

In the letter of intent to jointly hold the China-Myanmar border economic and trade fair, the Qingshuihe border economic cooperation zone between China and Myanmar is an unavoidable word. As a first-class port of China-Myanmar border countries in Mengding County, Lincang, Qingshui River is bound to have great hub potential.

As early as September 28th, 20 13, the State Council officially approved the establishment of the Border Economic Cooperation Zone in Lincang, named Lincang Border Economic Cooperation Zone, and implemented the current border economic cooperation zone policy. This is the fourth national border economic cooperation zone approved by Yunnan after 1992 the State Council approved the establishment of Ruili, Wan Ding and Hekou.

With the construction and development of Lincang border area, Lincang border trade has increased greatly, especially the Qingshuihe port in Mengding has grown even faster in recent years. From 20 1 1 to 20 16, the total volume of import and export freight increased from 87,800 tons to 107 1000 tons; Border trade increased from 654.38+0.5 billion yuan to 3.05 billion yuan; The total import and export volume of foreign trade increased from 650 million yuan to 4.27 billion yuan, and by 20 19, the total import and export freight volume rose to1480,000 tons.

Qingshuihe Port has become the second largest port of China-Myanmar trade and the largest port of border trade.

Under the general pattern of global industrial restructuring, developed economies are constantly transferring industries to developing economies, and so is China.

With the rise of central China and the deepening of western development, the industrial development in the eastern region is in full swing, and Yunnan is one of them. Under the background of "industrialization, industrialization and industrialization" and focusing on eight key industries, some industries in Yunnan will also be transferred to neighboring countries in Southeast Asia and South Asia, and the production capacity of each country will form industrial gathering places in border areas.

With the completion of Dalin Railway, Molin Expressway and Linqing Expressway, the advantages of Qingshuihe Port will be more obvious. Transportation costs will also be reduced. Lincang will therefore usher in new opportunities.

Whether promoting rapid economic development, coordinating urban and rural development or promoting leap-forward economic and social development, all benefit from the revitalization of the industry. Lincang is a typical agricultural city. Because of its small quantity and weak quality, it is greatly restricted in terms of comprehensive economic strength, expanding employment and improving people's livelihood. However, Lincang, with the best quality green agricultural products, minerals and energy resources, undoubtedly has great room for growth in industrial economy.

Lincang should seize the opportunity of industrial transfer, unswervingly take the road of new industrialization, vigorously promote structural optimization and upgrading, and establish a modern industrial system with reasonable structure, distinctive features, energy conservation and environmental protection, and strong competitiveness.

How?

First, focus on cultivating leading enterprises with a certain scale, good growth and strong driving force.

Second, improve industrial concentration, focus on intensive production, improve industrial deep processing capacity, strive to strengthen and expand traditional pillar industries such as sucrose and tea, accelerate the development of industries such as beverages, forestry, papermaking and biopharmaceuticals, optimize industrial structure, improve comprehensive resource recovery and utilization rate, enhance industrial efficiency, and form industrial clusters with large scale, high grade and excellent brand.

Third, pay attention to comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development, strictly limit the development of enterprises with high pollution and serious damage to the ecological environment, promote the progress of energy-saving technology, improve the level of energy saving, pollution reduction and efficiency improvement of Lincang industrial enterprises, and promote the development of industrial science.

In ancient times, there was a brilliant imprint of the ancient tea-horse road. Prior to this, there was a national strategy for the Yunnan-Myanmar Railway. Now there is an opportunity for the development of the "Belt and Road".

Lincang, the future is promising!
