High-speed railway drives economy of old revolutionary base

China Daily  

The first train to operate on the Southern Shandong High-speed Railway makes its maiden passenger trip on Nov 26. JINAN -- The Yimeng Mountains, an old revolutionary base in Shandong province, has bid farewell to poverty and taken on a new lease of life thanks to the opening of a high-speed railway about a year ago. On Nov 26, 2019, a rail line entered operation in Shandong, bringing the Yimeng Mountains, which are now administered by the city of Linyi, into the country's fast-developing high-speed rail network for the first time. "The high-speed railway not only allows us to spread the thousand-year-old embroidery culture of the Yimeng Mountains in major cultural expos across the country, but also attracts more attention to the delicate skills and various products," she added. In recent years, a number of remote and impoverished revolutionary bases such as Yimeng have been included in the country's fast-growing high-speed railway network, and more villagers have shaken off poverty thanks to the improved transport infrastructure and other support from local governments.
