Recently, good news about chengdu's development has come one after another. On September 26, Chengdu and Chongqing jointly launched the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Central Line high-speed railway in the form of video connection, and since then, the fourth pole of the economy, which has attracted much attention, has ushered in the fourth economic artery.
On September 29, "Sichuan Chengde Rail Transit Co., Ltd." was established in Chengdu High-tech Zone with a registered capital of 300 million yuan, of which Chengdu invested 47% and Deyang contributed 53%, which marked a major progress in the S11 line of urban rail that runs through Chengdu and Germany.
Whether it is the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Central High-speed Railway or the S11 Line of the Chengde Municipal Railway, it is closely related to the development of Chengdu North Gate, and now two major projects are ready to go, can the North Gate, which is jokingly called "Afghanistan" by the people, be revived?

The "North Gate" is important but complicated in the eyes of Chengdu people.
The status of the North Gate in Chengdu is like Beijing cannot be separated from the Forbidden City, Shanghai cannot be separated from the Bund, and Guangzhou is inseparable from the Pearl River. On the one hand, there is a lot of fireworks in the old Chengdu, on the other hand, there is a symbol of Chengdu's urban attributes, and it is also a value depression for new Chengdu people.
At the beginning of reform and opening up, in that era of grass and recklessness, as long as the courage is big enough, stepping on the wind outlet can go to heaven, new and old Chengdu people have gathered in the north gate to pan for gold, lotus pond and a large number of professional wholesale markets came into being, which is also very compatible with Chengdu's ancient consumer city attributes.
It is worth mentioning that the North Gate is an area where Chengdu's urbanization started relatively quickly and earlier, and unlike the industrial piles in the eastern suburbs, it was once the family area of various large state-owned enterprises in Chengdu. When the scale of Chengdu was not even filled with a ring, the north gate was expanded to the second ring, especially the family area of the "iron" font, which was called "iron half city" (describing half of Chengdu scale) at its peak of more than 100,000 people.

However, entering the new century, Chengdu fully launched the pace of "east to south" development, in March 2003 Chengdu issued the "Planning of the New Area in the East of the City and the Sub-Center in the South" in one fell swoop, followed by the rapid rise of the Chengdu High-tech Zone, the eastern suburbs of Chengdu for birds, the MixC and other large commercial bodies rose from the ground.
At the same time, Beimen is also sparing no effort to promote urban renewal, according to statistics, from 2003 to 2006, the area of the transformation of the old city of Chengdu exceeded the total transformation of the previous decade. However, compared with the East Gate and the South Gate, the development policy support of the North Gate is obviously insufficient, and it was not until 2011 that Chengdu first introduced the North Reform, but the vigorous North Reform Plan has not been fully realized.
By 2017, the traditional North Gate area was included in the category of "middle excellence", although the North Gate has made many achievements, but compared with the East, South and West Gates, the North Gate is indeed much behind, especially the problem of the transformation of Chengdu North Railway Station has been unresolved.
Chengdu Zhongyou Planning
As a symbolic landmark of the North Gate, when the North Station was transformed has always been a mystery. In recent years, the information around the transformation of Chengdu North Railway Station has often come, but it is always only "thunder and no rain", the reason is that the railway hub such as the North Railway Station is not promoted by local cities, so the transformation of the North Railway Station needs external opportunities to pry.
And today this opportunity comes, Chengdu-Chongqing central line high-speed rail as China's high-speed rail construction of two new "most" (the highest construction standards, the fastest operating speed) It starts from Chongqing North Railway Station, and finally Chengdu North Railway Station, which represents the strongest sound of the western economic take-off, with the help of the national strategy of the Chengdu-Chongqing area twin-city economic circle, this time the North Railway Station will once again become an absolute landmark of the North Gate.

In fact, this time Chengdu's expectations for the North Gate are also very high. The launching ceremony of the Chengdu-Chongqing Central High-Speed Railway was held at the North Railway Station, and although there was a drizzle on the day, everyone present had a hot heart. At the same time, in July this year, Chengdu issued the "Chengdu Zhongyou "14th Five-Year Plan", which clearly stated that it will promote the service capabilities and service forms of core business districts such as Chunxi Road Commercial Circle, Jiaozi Park Commercial Circle, and Chengdu Rongbei Commercial Circle.
Chunxi Road as Chengdu's "cosmic business circle" its status is needless to say, the recent Jiaozi business circle also shouted out the slogan of the second Chunxi Road, and rongbei business circle as a super landmark parallel to the two major business circles, whether it can become the third Chunxi Road, it is worth looking forward to.

S11 Urban Rail is the main traffic artery connecting Chengdu to Deyang City, and is also one of the landmark projects of Chengdemei Capital Tongchenghua (Chengdu Metropolitan Area), according to the latest planning, the project starts from: Chengdu Metro Line 1 Weijianian Station - ends at Deyang North Railway Station.
Judging from the current planning, this urban track is tailored for the North Gate. It can not only effectively promote the development of the traditional North Gate area, but also extend more than 80 kilometers to the north and open up the economic vein of the entire Great North Gate, which has a core hub role for the North Gate to gather various element flows.
In 2010, Guangzhou and Foshan opened the first cross-city subway, and since then Guangzhou-Foshan has been closely united, and under the reshaping of rail transit, the development pattern of the entire Pearl River Delta has been reshaped. The S11 line of the Chengde municipal rail can reach a speed of 130km/h, which can also play a quasi-high-speed rail role, which obviously plays a great role in promoting the commercial development of the North Gate.
In addition, the north extension of Tianfu Avenue is also in full swing, more and more favorable, and the north gate is ushering in a new life.
