They are also central railway hubs. Why is Wuhan more developed than Zhengzhou?

This question, first of all, has been seen between the lines of your question. You want to say that Zhengzhou's traffic development is better than Wuhan's, but you are too embarrassed to say too much, so I ask you this question. Then I will answer you from several aspects. High-speed rail is only one aspect of traffic, and herringbone high-speed rail is one aspect!

The picture shows the first day in Spring Festival travel rush. The Wuhan EMU railway is not only zigzag, but also powerful. Zhengzhou station, like Wuchang station, can reach all the capital cities in China. These are the only two Grand Slam stops in China. Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and Beijing-Guangzhou High-speed Railway both pass through Wuhan and Zhengzhou. Zhengzhou people like to say that the east-west Longhai Railway is better than the east-west Shanghai-Han-Rong cattle in Wuhan. Wuhan people say that these are not the point. In fact, the accessibility of Wuhan high-speed rail is

Whether a city's railway station is strong or not depends on its position and orientation. Wuhan is the four major railway centers, and the number of trains passing by every day is the same as that of the whole country (Nanjing is sometimes more than Wuhan, but the intercity ratio is high). There are more trains originating and arriving in Wuhan than in Zhengzhou, and the passenger flow is also high. These three indicators are much more important than rice. In the future, there will be more railways and instruments everywhere.

In Wuhan, which is located in the economic center of China, Zhengzhou belongs to the heart and north. With a radius of1000km, Wuhan can cover 90% of the economic center of China. If you draw 1000 km with Zhengzhou as the radius, the economic strength covering the status of the city is much worse!

Speaking of railways, we have to talk about railway freight. Both cities have marshalling yards that are known as the first in Asia, but the freight volume in Zhengzhou is not as much as that in Wuhan. The figure below is the statistical yearbook data. Zhengzhou's aviation has developed well in recent years, which is worthy of praise. Air passenger flow is supported by 1 100 million people. Zhengzhou Airport has surpassed Wuhan Tianhe Airport, but the air passenger flow in Henan Province is still lower than that in Hubei, which has a population of tens of millions more. So the advantage of Zhengzhou is that Henan has a large population.
