When will the light rail open?

Citizens pay attention to the construction progress and expect to experience "high speed". It is expected to be completed in 65438+February this year and officially opened in July next year.

Beijing South Railway Station has changed from "three visits" to "a bright light", and the daughter-in-law who has been married to the south of Beijing for 23 years can often visit her family in Tianjin. Yongle Store, which was neglected at the beginning, is now overwhelmed by investors, and even the house price is soaring, from less than 1000 yuan per square meter to about to break through the 3000 yuan mark ... all because of a railway connecting Beijing and Tianjin.

The railway will be completed in 65438+February this year and will be officially opened for operation in July next year.

Beijing south railway station

From "Three Ignores" to "Xiang Uncle"

Half a month ago, Zhou, who lives in Muxiyuan, rented a set of 19 square meter room near Dongzhuang on the west side of Beijing South Railway Station at a price of 2,700 yuan per month, which was 20% higher than that at the beginning of this year and more than 30% higher than that before the National Day last year. Mr. Zhou said that even so, if you don't rent it out quickly, it will soon be rented out by others.

The reason why the rent near Beijing South Railway Station has risen so fast can't be said to be due to the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway under construction. Beijing South Railway Station is the Beijing terminal of Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway, formerly known as Yongdingmen Railway Station, and also the starting station of Beijing Puke (commonly known as local train). It is also the junction of Chongwen District, Xuanwu District and Fengtai District, commonly known as "three no matter".

The Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway leads from here, along the Jingshan Railway to the east, across the Yuting Bridge, along the south moat to Zuo 'anmen, and then turns to the southeast, constantly crossing the Second Ring Road, the Third Ring Road, the Fourth Ring Road and the Fifth Ring Road, and reaching Yizhuang Development Zone. Chang Jingquan, Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission, said that according to the plan, after the completion of the Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway, Metro Line 4 and 14 will be "docked" here, and Beijing South Railway Station will be built into a comprehensive transportation hub.

The construction of this transportation hub has greatly stimulated businesses looking for business opportunities everywhere. They set their sights on the station economy formed after the completion of the transportation hub, and came here to rent the pavement one after another, which led to the increase of pavement rent, and the vicinity of Beijing South Railway Station changed from the original "three concerns" to "a bright light".

Cheng Nan's wife

I can often visit my family in Tianjin.

In Yuting Park on the north side of Yuting Bridge, several residents who live on the east side road and Puhuangyu in Chongwen District come here almost every day to watch the construction of the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway, and their topics often involve this railway.

Sun Xiaofang, who works in a restaurant in Fangzhuang, is from Tianjin. She has been married to Beijing for 23 years. "When I came to Beijing, my family sent me one trip after another, saying it was not easy to go back. Now, after the opening of the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway, you can go home to visit your parents for half a day, which is much more convenient than from Fangzhuang to Shijingshan. " She told me that every day when she passed the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway station of Yuting Bridge on her way to and from work, she would stop to ask about the construction progress.

Retired master

Dream of going to Tianjin by train

Kong is a retired worker of the former Beijing Belt Factory. In the early 1970s, he went to Tianjin once, but not by car, but by tricycle.

Master Kong said that at that time, the factory was in urgent need of a kind of wrapping paper, which was only available in Tianjin, and there was no car in the factory, so it had to be pulled by a tricycle. Finally, it took him and another worker three days to pull the paper back from Tianjin. He said that at that time, he felt that Tianjin was far away. He heard that the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway under construction will arrive in Tianjin in a few minutes after it is opened. He vowed not to go until Tianjin was open to traffic.

The surrounding towns will come to "occupy the light"

Chang Hong is the owner of an electronic software development company in Zhongguancun, Beijing. Now he is choosing a site near Yizhuang Station of Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway, and plans to set up a branch here after the opening of Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway in 2008. "It takes more than 20 minutes by train from Yizhuang to Tianjin, and Tianjin will have a stronger sense of identity with Yizhuang, which is of great benefit to the company's development." Mr. Chang said that due to the convenient transportation, the company will consider recruiting some staff in Tianjin.

Yizhuang is a state-level economic and technological development zone in Beijing, covering an area of 48 square kilometers. According to Beijing's long-term planning, the S6 line (suburban railway) from Yizhuang to Shunyi via Tongzhou and the L2 line (light rail) from downtown to Yizhuang will be connected with Yizhuang Station, a Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway.

According to the Planning Center of the Development Zone Management Committee, after the completion of Yizhuang Station of the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway, the development zone will establish a comprehensive zone in front of the station centered on the station, and the overall plan will form a new South Gate of Beijing according to the scale of the CBD, including residential and public buildings.

Majuqiao Town in Tongzhou is known as the first town in the southeast of Beijing. Although it doesn't belong to Yizhuang Development Zone at present, because it is only 2000 meters away from Yizhuang Station, I have long planned to take advantage of the situation to develop myself.

Zhang, deputy mayor of the town, said that with the construction of Yizhuang Station, the development and construction of Majuqiao Town will also be accelerated, especially the development and construction of real estate. He introduced that the house price of Ma Honeycomb is similar to that of Tianjin Yangcun and Beichen, which is more than 4,000 yuan per square meter.

"Once the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway is open to traffic, you can get on the train from the South Station in five or six minutes, and then the house price will go up." Zhang predicted optimistically.

Yongle branch

Developers "sit on the ground" to seize the opportunity

The third stop of the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway is Yongle Store. Yongle Store is located at the southernmost tip of Beijing, adjacent to Hexi Wu in Langfang, Hebei Province and Damengzhuang Town in Wuqing District, Tianjin. Due to the inconvenient transportation, it has become a dead end for investment. The construction of the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway has brought business opportunities to this town.

April 16, near the construction site, He Hailong, deputy secretary of Yongle Town, was interviewed. I learned from Deputy Secretary He that after the news that the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway station was located in Yongle Store was released, Yongle Store became the first choice of major investors overnight, such as Hong Kong Concord Group and Hebei Group.

Deputy Secretary He said that now some investors simply go to Yongle Store and wait for their investment projects to be approved as soon as possible, which has a great momentum of grasping opportunities.

House prices are also "rising"

The Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway has also driven the housing price of Yongle Store. I bought a house in Yongle store three years ago, and it was less than 1000 yuan per square meter. After the news that the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway set up a station in Yongle Store was released, the price of small property houses has risen to more than 2,450 yuan per square meter. It is estimated that the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway will break through the 3000 yuan mark after its completion in June this year.

Yongledian's Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway station has also greatly promoted local tourism agriculture. From Derenwu and Banjiehe, two villages close to the station, we can see that some villagers are already decorating their houses and actively preparing to open farmhouses. Others are busy planting fruit trees in the fields, preparing to welcome tourists from Beijing and Tianjin after the opening of the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway.

Deputy Secretary He also said that many villages in Yongledian Town have begun to develop tourism projects with rural characteristics, and they are prepared to use the favorable conditions of convenient transportation after the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway station is set up here to create a holiday and leisure place with rural characteristics for Beijing and Tianjin citizens and attract them to travel here.

intercity express

90 minutes "direct" to the sea

Although Beijing is only 100 kilometers away from Tianjin, and intercity trains run every hour on average, the running time is about 70 to 80 minutes. However, due to the lack of matching urban traffic between the two cities, the time spent by cars in the city often far exceeds the running time between the two cities.

Sun, who lives in Yongnei East Street, Chongwen District, said that he took his family to Tianjin seaside last year. He had planned to return the same day, but it took him two days because of the inconvenient transportation.

After the completion of the Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway, Beijing and Tianjin will also connect their respective urban rail transit to it, truly realizing the "seamless connection" between the two municipalities. By then, it will only take 90 minutes from Beijing downtown to Tianjin Binhai New Area.
