The most detours around the railway do not exceed100km in a straight line. Why did you walk a thousand kilometers?

Going out by train is the choice of many people. After all, the train is fast and the price is very favorable. China's railways are developing at a high speed, which also reflects that China's GOP is increasing year by year. And China has a railway with the most detours, which is less than 100 kilometers in a straight line. Why do you want to detour 1,000 kilometers?

The starting station of this railway is Zhanjiang, Guangzhou, and its destination is Beihai, Guangxi. The straight-line distance is only 1000 km, but the railway has fully bypassed1000 km, which makes many people very puzzled. In fact, there is a reason for this. If the railway is built in a straight line, it will cross the river, so it is necessary to build a viaduct in the middle of the river, not just the river. Because of the topography, Guangxi is mountainous. In order to avoid these peaks, after careful consideration, the railway was built around 1000 km, which can actually save a sum of money.

Many people think that the straight-line distance is short, and it seems to be a waste of financial and material resources to build a railway around 1000 km, but it is not. Before the construction of the railway, some professionals have surveyed the terrain, and some areas passing by in a straight line distance are not suitable for the construction of the railway, which is likely to pose a threat to the railway. Even after the completion, the later maintenance will cost a lot of energy and money, so it is not worth the loss, so it is finally decided to bypass 1000 kilometers.

Known as the most circuitous railway in China, it is also worthy of the name. After the completion of this road, it has promoted the economy of the two places and brought Guangdong and Guangxi closer. Many people say that this railway is a link between the people of the two provinces, and the scenery seen along the way is even more beautiful. For various reasons, the railway finally chose to be built around 1000 km. This is not a so-called measure that wastes people and money, but a well-thought-out measure. For passengers who want to be in a hurry, this railway is not their most suitable choice. Passengers who are in a hurry can consider going to road trip, which is faster.
