Two new railways connecting Chongqing city to Lichuan city, Hubei province, and Tianjin city to Qinhuangdao city began trial operations this October. These two new routes will greatly shorten the journey between Hefei and Northeast China and Sichuan province.
The length of Yangze in Hubei province is nearly 1,000 kilometers so the traffic in Yangze is very prosperous. The passenger ships here can reach Chongqing and even Shangha and other cities along the river.
