In 1935, children from Xin'an Primary School in Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province formed the Xin'an Travel Group, combining personal growth with the fate of the country through long-distance study tours, and promoting the idea of ​​resisting Japan and saving the nation. On the eve of International Children's Day this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping wrote back to the young pioneers of Xin'an Primary School, giving them cordial encouragement. Around July 1, the Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall on Yonghuai Road in Huai'an District was solemn and dignified, and tourists from home and abroad came to pay their respects and commemorate him.

Huai'an is located at the intersection of the ancient Huai River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It is close to the river and the sea. It is a major transportation route from south to north and an important transportation hub in Jiangsu Province. This is the hometown of Premier Zhou Enlai. The revolutionary spirit inspired the passion of the Huai'an people to work and start businesses. The red bloodline is continued here and revitalized, guiding the transportation industry to stride forward.

As a comprehensive transportation investment and financing enterprise in Huai'an City, Huai'an Transportation Holdings Co., Ltd. (Huai'an Transportation Holdings) insists on promoting enterprise transformation and upgrading and serving national strategies, accelerating regional economic and social development, and improving people's living standards. Since its establishment, Huai'an Transportation Holdings has raised nearly 20 billion yuan to build key projects such as Huai'an Lianshui International Airport, Huai'an Modern Tram, Huai'an New Port, and more than 20 urban road and bridge projects, helping Huai'an people realize their dreams of flying, high-speed rail, billion-ton port, and urban rail transit.

Taking advantage of the location to accelerate diversified development

"When I was young, people living around Huai'an went into the city on hand tractors, which later developed into agricultural tricycles. Around 2000, farmers could take buses into the city, and those with better conditions could even take taxis. Later, there were more and more private cars, and road conditions changed dramatically. Now, Huai'an's transportation is gradually developing in a diversified way, and high-speed railways and airports are developing better and better. We are full of confidence in the future development of Huai'an!" Huai'an citizen Liu Zhigao was proud of the changes in transportation methods over the past few decades, and his words reflected the huge driving role of transportation in economic take-off and social progress.

The Phase II terminal of Huai'an New Port is the largest and most automated container terminal in Jiangsu Province. In early summer, it is very busy here. Foreign trade trains loaded with goods pass through the Xinchang Railway and the Beijing-Shanghai Line and finally arrive at Shanghai Luchao Port, and then transfer to all parts of the world. The multimodal transportation hub system allows Huai'an New Port to achieve the best configuration of transportation structure and transportation efficiency.

According to statistics from the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Transportation, from January to May this year, the container throughput of Huai'an Port increased by more than 50% year-on-year, continuing to rank first in Jiangsu's inland rivers and the forefront of the country, and the leading position of the Huaihe River Ecological Economic Belt and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Water Transport Center Hub Port has been further consolidated. Huai'an New Port has also built the first 5G industry application base station in the country's inland ports, and took the lead in realizing 5G independent networking in Jiangsu; 16 multimodal transport routes have been opened, two "Maritime Silk Roads" from Huai'an to Ningbo and Shanghai, and express ships from Huai'an to Wuhan have been opened, and offices in Zhoukou, Bengbu, Fengyang and other places have been set up, building a "golden bridge" for cities along the Huaihe River.

At the first Huaihe 中文 Business Conference held in June, the modern tram invested and built by Huai'an Transportation Control attracted the attention of the participants. The annual passenger flow exceeds 10 million, the daily maximum passenger flow is 55,000, and the punctuality rate exceeds 99.5%... In the five years since the operation of Huai'an Tram Line 1, it has accumulated 10 million kilometers of safe operation, and many indicators are leading in the country. Huai'an Tram's automatic driving technology has also filled the domestic gap, and has won national awards such as the National High-quality Investment Project Special Award and the China Urban Rail Transit Science and Technology Progress Award, and won the praise of "Look at Huai'an for Trams in the Country".

Inheriting the red spirit and improving service quality

On a peninsula in the middle of a lake surrounded by water on three sides in Taohuayin, northeast of Huai'an District, the simple and elegant Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall stands silently. "This year is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party. On this special day, we walked into the Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall not only to remember him, but more importantly to remember our responsibilities and missions," said Song Wenjin, a tourist from Shandong.

Red resources are the witness of the 100-year history of the Communist Party of China and the precious spiritual wealth of the strugglers in the new era. From the Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall to Zhou Enlai's former residence, from the former site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai to Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing... In recent years, Huaian Transportation and Tourism Group Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Huaian Transportation Control, has successively formulated nearly 20 red routes, making good use of red resources, telling good red stories, and continuing the red bloodline.

Moreover, the bus companies under Huai'an Transportation Control Group are guided by the red spirit and aim to create "happy public transportation that satisfies the people". They continuously improve the quality of software and hardware services, making "high quality of life and public transportation when going out" a reality in Huai'an, and truly doing practical things and solving problems for the people. Since 2016, the bus companies under Huai'an Transportation Control Group have raised a total of 1.6 billion yuan and purchased 1,482 pure electric buses. According to the personalized needs of the people, they have added and optimized more than 100 bus routes and customized more than 140 bus routes to better serve the people's travel and economic and social development. The Huai'an "happy public transportation" brand is shining.

In order to further improve the citizens' sense of happiness when traveling, Jianghuai Smart Technology Company, a subsidiary of Huai'an Transportation Control, independently developed and created the country's first MaaS ecosystem for all travel scenarios - "City Guest e Home", which initially realized the comprehensive integration of various public transportation resources, integrated payment, and seamless transfer. At present, the "City Guest e Home" client has been downloaded more than 4 million times, and buses, trams, online car-hailing, shared motorcycles, and smart parking can all be handled with one App.

Nowadays, when walking on the streets of Huai'an, you can open "Chengke e-Home" to realize "one payment, one ticket". The city's first ground smart parking lot has also been put into use, which can effectively solve the parking problem. Tourists can take the clean and green new energy bus to a summer date, or take the "point-to-point" customized line departing from the high-speed rail station to conveniently reach the scenic spots... Next, Huai'an Transportation Control will continue to focus on six major business sectors such as public transportation, port logistics, and infrastructure construction, empower Huai'an's "green highland, hub new city" construction, and help Premier Zhou's hometown achieve a magnificent transformation.
