Harbin to Yichun high-speed railway officially opened for operation

Today (28th), the high-speed railway from Harbin to Yichun in Heilongjiang Province was officially opened for operation. This is the northernmost high-speed railway in my country and the first high-speed railway in China that passes through the alpine island-shaped permafrost area. The route passes through the Xiaoxing'an Mountains and connects Lindu Yichun to the national high-speed rail network.

Just now, the first train slowly pulled out of Yichun West Station, and the Haiyi High-speed Railway was officially opened for operation. The Haiyi High-speed Railway has a total length of 318 kilometers, a design speed of 250 kilometers per hour, and nine stations along the entire line. Today's train goes all the way south and can reach Harbin in 1 hour and 46 minutes at the fastest. It is not only the northernmost high-speed railway in my country, but also an important extension of the national "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed rail network from Beijing to Harbin to Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao.

The first thing high-speed rail brings is a huge change in travel time. In the past, it took about 7 hours to travel from Yichun to Harbin by train and 4 hours by highway. After the opening of the Haiyi High-speed Railway, the journey from Harbin to Yichun can be reduced to about 2 hours, the fastest trip from Harbin to Tieli is 1 hour and 14 minutes, and the fastest trip from Harbin to Suihua is 42 minutes.

The high-speed rail connects the two places together with scenery along the way. Yichun is located in the hinterland of Xiaoxinanling Mountains. It is the most beautiful season of Wuhua Mountain right now. The opening of high-speed rail has connected many high-quality ecological scenic spots in the hinterland of Xiaoxinganling Mountains to the high-speed rail network, enabling "fast-forward roaming". Industries such as forest health care, study experience, and ice and snow tourism will usher in new development opportunities.
