The past of Nanjing Hexi

The government cleverly created a "cook without rice" to create the Hexi Speed ????Ten Fortunes and change Nanjing

The tiger and the dragon are better than the past, and the Ten Fortunes will meet the storm.

After five years of hard work and hard work, the 10th National Games of the People's Republic of China opened grandly today. With the blessings of 74 million Jiangsu people from all over the country, today we gaze at the Olympic Sports Center and focus on Hexi New Town. There is a huge power rising and surging in everyone's heart. This is our 10th National Games! Five years, we have come along the way!

The world has been earth-shaking and generous, and the mountains and rivers have undergone tremendous changes in only 5 years. On June 19, 2001, Jiangsu won the right to host the 2005 Tenth National Games with more than half of the votes. In November, Li Yuanchao, then Secretary of the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee, and Mayor Luo Zhijun led a team to Suzhou, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen for special inspections and surveys. The Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee made decisions until late at night. After the meeting, Li Yuanchao and relevant comrades planned until 5 in the morning. From this, political consciousness was formed: without building new cities and new urban areas, Nanjing's expansion would be out of the question, and there would be no way out for urban development.

If Nanjing only works within the city walls and exploits every opportunity for construction, Nanjing will lose all its proud ancient capital features and landscape, city and forest personality among many big cities. In December, Nanjing’s strategic decision of “jumping out of the city wall, reorganizing the urban layout, one city, three districts, three concentration and one evacuation” was issued. Li Yuanchao made a wonderful and accurate summary of the positioning of the old city and the new city: "Look at the old city in Jinling, the ancient capital, and look at Hexi in the modernized new Nanjing!"

Creation: Create Hexi speed

Why Hexi? At that time, the 43 square kilometers of the main city of Nanjing within the Ming City Wall had a population of 1.5 million, with a population density of 30,000 per square kilometer, which was the highest among the 19 sub-provincial cities in the country. "The purpose of building Hexi New City is to protect the ancient capital of Jinling." Hexi New City is the last new district of China's megacities approved by the State Council. Hexi New City will further extend Nanjing to the Yangtze River. It is in this sense that Li Yuanchao, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, has repeatedly taught: "Hexi is the last to do it, but it must be the best." It used to be full of green vegetable fields, and it was once a place to listen to the sound of frogs in the pond, and Hexi New Town The "one core, three axes, two belts and three centers" spelled out hope in the sound of frogs: Nanjing Olympic Sports Center officially started construction on August 18, 2002, and it took more than 1,030 days, and nearly 200 construction units have participated in the construction; From planning, demolition to completion, it took a total of 2 and a half years. More than 100 construction sites and more than 300 construction teams have set up the largest urban construction site in the country in Hexi New Town, and built the first sports park in the country; the first complete CBD was built, with 16 high-rise buildings building one floor every three days. Grow upward. The Olympic Sports Center was completed and the 10th National Games came. The formerly barren floodplain has now become the most dynamic new urban area in Nanjing. Among the eight cities along the river in Jiangsu, Nanjing breaks through the old city and builds a new city. It is the first to realize the dream of living by the river. It is the first time to realize the city in the river and the river in the city. Hexi, which was once considered a wasteland, is now connected in all directions. You can reach any area of ??the main city within half an hour by taking the Inner Ring Expressway; you can go directly to Lukou Airport by taking the Wei 7th Road Elevated Highway; and when you go to Jiangbei, there is now the Third Yangtze River Bridge. In the distant future, there will be river-crossing tunnels and the fifth Yangtze River Bridge.

Old and New: Historical Changes in Hexi

In 1982, Hexi had only dirt roads made of coal ash and yellow mud. It was not until the late 1980s that Hexi had the earliest cement road - the 4-meter-wide Jiangdong Road. Today, the two-way 14-lane Jiangdong Avenue is 80 meters wide and has a dedicated auxiliary lane for buses. It is full of green trees and flowers and is so beautiful that it is known as the "No. 1 Road in Jinling". On the map of Nanjing in 1992, Hexi was blue, with ditches and ponds everywhere, and large tracts of paddy fields rich in lotus root, wild rice, and water chestnuts that Nanjing people liked to eat. The surrounding areas were called so-and-so village and so-and-so team. The southwest area of ??Nanjing, which used to be flat and unobstructed, is now lined with high-rise buildings: Vanke, China Shipping, Jinma and other well-known domestic real estate developers have all entered, including the 232-meter-high Jinao Building, the 228-meter-high Landsea International Plaza, and 16 super high-rise buildings in the CBD. Rising from the ground.

Today's Hexi map is full of greenery. The average green area per capita in Hexi is 22 square meters, twice that of the old city. The 2,200-acre Green Expo echoes the Purple Mountain in the east of the city, forming the green "two heroes" of Nanjing. In 2000, Lao Ye, the developer of "Elegant Ju" in Hexi, launched a set of advertisements called "Shang Yang's Reform". The "Shang Yang" in the advertisements told citizens that Nanjing was going to develop to the west. Whoever moved wood from the east city If you move the door to Hexi, you will get a reward. Today the reward is "realized". If the elegant commercial house purchased for more than 3,000 yuan per square meter is now sold for 6,000 yuan per square meter, someone will immediately come to snatch it up. Land prices in Hexi have also increased from 800,000/mu in 2002 to more than 2 million/mu today. In 2002, many movie theaters in the old city were struggling, but the business of Shangxinhe Cinema in Hexi was booming because there was only such an entertainment venue within a radius of ten kilometers (where the Olympic Sports Center is now). Most of the people living around are farmers. People from 4 neighborhood committees and 3 villages can only squeeze into the No. 7 bus and wander around for more than an hour before entering the city. Nowadays, there are 22 tennis courts in an Olympic Sports Center; Yilanzhai, the largest private art museum in China, a five-star international conference center, the main venue of the Green Expo that looks like a roc spreading its wings, a giant greenhouse, and the Jinling Library The Hexi branch and two community and neighborhood centers have settled in this area... More than 20 bus lines and Nanjing's first subway line have made this the most convenient place for transportation. Ten conveniences have been added along Jiangdong Avenue. A citizen square for new town residents to relax and exercise.

City: Stretch Your Body

Guangzhou took advantage of the Ninth National Games to develop its infrastructure at least 10 years ahead of schedule, giving the city a completely new look; Sydney entered the world by successfully hosting the Olympic Games and the arrival of the Tenth National Games not only promoted the rise of Hexi New City, but also allowed Nanjing, which had been bound by the city wall for 600 years, to relax.

Nanjing used sports events to accelerate urban construction. From 2003 to 2005, Nanjing’s urban construction investment exceeded 100 billion in three years. Metro Line 1 was opened, the rapid inner ring was initially completed, the Qinhuai River reappeared with the sound of oars and lights, and the 12 venues covered the city's national fitness network. Because of the 10th National Games, Nanjing's urban construction was accelerated and made a big leap. Following Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Nanjing has become the fifth city in China to benefit from the subway. Nanjing Metro Line 1 has been planned for 15 years and constructed for more than 4 years with an investment of 8.483 billion yuan. It is the largest urban construction project in Nanjing so far. It only takes 40 minutes by subway from Maigao Bridge in the north of the city to the Olympic Sports Center in Hexi, and at least 90 minutes by ground transportation. On the first day of operation, the subway picked up and dropped off more than 50,000 passengers; the frequency of trains has increased from every 7 minutes at the beginning to every 3 minutes now; in more than a month, the Nanjing Subway has transported more than 200,000 passengers a day; Nanjing is slowly gaining momentum People fall in love with the subway from the bottom of their hearts. After the 10th National Games, Line 1 will continue to be extended southward to Jiangning, and Line 2, which runs through the east-west direction of the main city, will also start construction immediately. Metro Line 2, with a total investment of 10.5 billion yuan, will be fully started within the year; the two subway intersections, like a handful The huge vise tightly "twisted" Hexi, Jiangning, and Xianlin together. Moreover, the next 10 years will be the peak period of Nanjing's subway construction. By 2015, Line 2 will extend eastward and westward, and the third subway will also cross the Yangtze River and connect the south and north of the Yangtze River. The total length of the subway will reach 119.3 kilometers. On September 2, the Shuangqiaomen Overpass was completed; on October 1, the entire Jiuhuashan Tunnel was completed. Jiuhuashan Tunnel, Xuanwu Lake Tunnel, Weiqi Road Elevated Road, Weisan Road, Chengdong Arterial Road, Chengxi Arterial Road, and Binjiang Avenue connecting Weisan Road and Weiqi Road directly form Nanjing's urban expressway, allowing citizens to travel from any Click to hit the road and you can reach any destination in the city in half an hour. Urban transportation in Nanjing has entered the era of rapid development for the first time. Smart developers have been busy throwing out the "express highway concept", and citizens suffering from traffic jams have responded in droves. Starting from September 8th, taking a boat ride from Stone City to Xishui Pass, you can see the rippling blue waves of the Qinhuai River, swaying willows and lush vegetation along both sides of the river. From boarding the boat at Wudingmen to landing at the mouth gate of the Sancha River, you can have a panoramic view of the 12.5-kilometer outer Qinhuai River and the parallel Ming City Wall.

You can have a panoramic view of Hekou Gate Park, Waterfront Leisure Area, Stone City, Xishui Pass, and Zhonghua Gate. On both sides of the Qinhuai River, there is an endless stream of citizens for sightseeing, leisure, and fishing. The Qinhuai River has finally become a flowing and beautiful river again.

Government: It is a coincidence that "cooking without rice"

In order to build the main stadium of the 10th National Games, Nanjing invested more than 100 billion in urban construction alone. During this period, it also encountered macro-control. Did one government use money from subsequent governments? In fact, in the past three years, Nanjing's financial investment has been less than 10 billion, and more than 90% of the funds have been solved by emancipating the mind, adjusting ideas, breaking the government's single investment subject, liberalizing the urban construction market, and attracting diversified investment. Hexi is the first area in the history of Nanjing's urban development that was planned first and then implemented. Relying on advanced overall planning, zoning planning, and professional planning, tens of billions of funds were mobilized. Even during the tightest period of macroeconomic control in the second half of last year, Zheng Shaojian, the richest man in the Philippines and a famous banker, came to Hexi and invested 1 billion to build the "Baguio Garden" ecological community near the Olympic Sports Center. On December 28, 2004, Nanjing Communications Group successfully transferred 65% of its shares in the Second Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge to Shenzhen China Shipping, which was unprecedented in the history of Chinese bridge operations. The government not only recouped the 3.2 billion yuan investment in the Second Bridge, but also achieved an asset appreciation of 1.3 billion yuan. The funds were used for the construction of major projects such as the third bridge and the river-crossing tunnel. The Third Bridge, with an investment of about 3 billion, did not cost the government a penny from the beginning. On January 9 this year, construction of the 3.5 billion yuan cross-river tunnel in Nanjing has not yet started. The shareholders have been formally determined: Transportation Group and Pukou District State-owned Assets Company *** hold 10%, China Railway Group holds 90%, and the fourth bridge with an investment of 5.5 billion yuan, The bypass highway with an investment of 4.5 billion yuan will operate in this way. Metro Line 2, with an estimated investment of 10 billion yuan, is also preparing for market-oriented operation. Nanjing Zhongshan International Sports Park, which has the largest demand for funds in the construction of "12" venues, introduced Jiangsu Wantai Industrial Group through the land transfer method and spent more than 800 million yuan to build a golf course. Quasi-commercial projects such as the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and the Qinhuai River Regulation are self-balancing through value-added land development, franchising, and transfer of operating rights such as advertising and tourism. Comprehensive environmental management of the outer Qinhuai River will cost 3 billion yuan, and the source of funds will be 1.5 billion sewage treatment fees and 2,000 acres of land at the mouth of the Yunliang River that can be auctioned for 2 billion yuan. The transfer of the management rights of the "Shuimu Qinhuai" waterfront leisure block under Dinghuaimen will earn 18 million yuan a year. With the transfer of the rights to operate tourist routes and advertising along the river, the problem of river maintenance and management will suddenly become clear.
