From Tunnel in Qin Mountains to Global Connectivity: Shaanxi's Smart Transportation's Progress Through International Cooperation

On August 14, diplomats accredited to China from over 10 countries visited Shaanxi Transportation Holding Group, where they gained insights into China's input and solutions for enhancing global connectivity through a series of achievements of the Group, spanning from the mega projects deep in the Qin Mountains to the industry chains extending to the world.

Inside the exhibition hall of the Group, the walls showcase world-class engineering marvels such as the magnificent tunnels in Zhongnan Mountains (part of Qin Mountains) and Tiantai Mountain, which demonstrate humanity's triumph over geographical barriers. On the sand table, the "2367" expressway network blueprint, planned to extend to 8,080 kilometers, comes "alive" through pulsating LED arrays, visualizing the ambitious framework of Shaanxi Province's future transport infrastructure.

At the Road Network Monitoring and Command Center, as the display switched to the real-time footage of the tunnel in Zhongnan Mountains, the world's longest twin-bore tunnel, and the one in Tiantai Mountain, the largest by construction scale globally, Pedzisai Peter Mwayera, Minister Counsellor of the Embassy of the Republic of Zimbabwe in China, remarked that this model, which is capable of real-time monitoring and intelligent dispatching, offers significant insights for his country's road network management, noting that China's rapid advancements in smart transportation are truly commendable.

The Group extends its vision far beyond Shaanxi Province, with its global strategy already in full swing. Its automatic portable satellite antennas have been exported to Japan, while the "5-5-3" modern industrial system facilitates the global expansion of its integrated "transportation + supply chain" network. In addition, the "road-rail-air" multimodal transportation platform built by the Group now serves as an important logistics node connecting China with Central Asia and Europe, reviving the ancient Silk Road's trade legacy through modern transportation networks.
