Entering the 1970s, Yichang ended the history of no railroad, history has recorded that in 1904 (Qing Guangxu thirty years), the Qing government permitted the establishment of the Sichuan-Han Railway General Company in Chengdu, Sichuan-Han Railway to be from Hankou to reach the capital through Yichang. 1909 (Xuantong first year), the Sichuan-Han Railway General Company set up the General Engineering Department in Yichang. The Chief Engineer Zhan Tianyou and Deputy Chief Engineer Yan Deqing took office in Yichang. In 1909 (the first year of Xuantong), the General Administration of Sichuan-Han Railway was established in Yichang. Political corruption, economic recession, war trouble, the Sichuan-Han Railway artery can only be a dream of yellow beams a dream. 1969 to 1970, by the People's War to build the Jiao (Jiao) Liu (state) Railway and its branches of Crow (Magpie Ridge) Guan (Zhuang) section, the eastern part of the city of the four important economic pillars of the city of the Danyang, Yiling, Zhijiang, Yidu counties (cities) and Yichang city. Railroad arteries make Yichang and the country connected, become the communication of the central and southern, southwestern, western Hubei, east of Sichuan's main traffic, but also Yichang foreign trade imports and Chinese and foreign tourists to and from the important line. As we all know, after the reconstruction of Yichang Railway Station located in Dongshan, the square in front of the station and the station house with modern characteristics are very eye-catching, which becomes the new highlight of Yichang city and the first viewing platform for guests coming to Yichang to enjoy the city of Yichang.

Subsequently, a military airport was built in Danyang, which has made the people of Yichang proud over the years. The epochal change in Yichang's civil aviation business was also due to the construction opportunity of the Three Gorges Project. With the construction of the Three Gorges Project and the location advantage of Yichang, the Three Gorges Airport came into being. 1994 September, the Three Gorges Airport was officially started, and in December 1996, the Three Gorges Airport with an investment of nearly 750 million yuan was completed and opened according to the 4E class standard planning and 4D class standard construction of the airport with an annual capacity of 1,400,000 passenger trips to meet the major types of aircraft such as B737, B757, A32O, and so on. The airport can accommodate B737, B757, A32O and other major airplanes. The rapid and smooth construction of Three Gorges Airport has created a miracle of airport construction in China.
