Port to be model for openness and innovation

From Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, you can travel to the largest number of provincial capitals in China by high-speed bullet train.

The city has been a transportation hub for thousands of years. With hundreds of bullet trains running along its tracks, it has become a perfect blend of ancient and modern times in the age of high-speed railways.

In the recent five years, Xuzhou invested 107.9 billion yuan ($16.6 billion) to improve its transportation system. More than 500 kilometers of new traffic lines, including railways, waterways and highways, were constructed during the time, with the total mileage reaching 18,800 kilometers.
