EconoScope | China's 'golden mega-ring' reveals next phase of transport development_我的网站

一 |     (ECNS) -- China is set to fully connect three major national highways during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026–2030), creating a 27,000-Kilometer transport loop stretching along the country's borders and eastern coastline.    The three routes — G219, G331 and G228 — would form a "golden mega‑ring" equal to roughly two‑thirds of Earth's circumference. The project aims not only to link long roads but to integrate previously independent corridors into a network with greater economic, tourism and strategic value.        Three highways, three roles    G219, nearly 10,000 kilometers from Kanas in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to Dongxing in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in the south, serves as a western border artery.    G331, about 9,200 kilometers from Liaoning's Dandong to Altay in Xinjiang, crosses six provinces and is dubbed one of China's most scenic border highways.    G228, 7,400 kilometers from Dandong to Dongxing, links 10 coastal regions and major port cities -- Liaoning, Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi. -- forming a vital corridor for coastal development.    Together, the three highways serve different purposes: strengthening border areas, integrating transportation with tourism, and supporting coastal economic development.    Building the loop    China will accelerate construction of key sections over the next five years, including the Zhaosu–Wensu cross‑mountain stretch of G219 in Xinjiang and the Baiqi cross‑river passage of G228 in Fujian. About 7,400 kilometers of roads are expected to be built or upgraded. Local governments plan to develop scenic highways and self‑driving routes along natural and cultural sites.    By 2030, the Ministry of Transport aims to raise the completion rate of the national three‑dimensional transport network's main framework from 91% to 95%. The loop will connect with major arteries such as the Yangtze River's "golden waterway," the Sichuan‑Xizang Railway and the Xinjiang‑Xizang Railway.    Reshaping economic geography    Sections already open, such as G331 in Jilin Province, show the potential: the highway links 12 national forest parks and eight nature reserves, becoming a popular ecological tourism route. For communities, improved transport means easier access to markets and services. For the nation, the loop strengthens border security while facilitating domestic circulation and international trade.    China's transportation strategy has evolved from expansion to optimization. The "golden mega-ring" is a prime example. It represents not just connectivity, but a proactive effort to reshape China's economic geography.    (By Gong Weiwei)                    。    A man who doesn’t spend time with his family can never be a real man, and if you’d like to spend time with your family in Vito Corleone’s mansion from the seminal 1972 mafia film "The Godfather," you are about to get your chance. On Wednesday, the house used in the film will be up for rent on Airbnb.,An offer you can’t refuse.,In celebration of the film’s 50th anniversary, the family that resides in the house has decided to let someone else relax in the digs for a while. For the very modest price of $50 a night, you can rent out the 6,248 square feet Staten Island home for a month, totaling a reasonable $1,500. It includes a saltwater pool, basement pub, game room, gym, five bedrooms, and seven bathrooms.,In case you are worried about maintaining the property during your vacation, house cleaners and landscapers will come once a week, and pool cleaners will clean out debris twice a week.,How did things ever get so far?,Built in 1930, the house was owned by Edward and Mary Norton for nearly six decades. Gianni Russo, who played turncoat and Corleone’s son-in-law Carlo Rizzi, suggested the home to the producers of the film after a scouting trip to Long Island didn’t turn up any locations they liked. Russo grew up near the now-famous mansion and thought it’d be a perfect fit. While the house resides in an upscale Staten Island neighborhood, in the film it was meant to be Vito Corleone’s home in Long Island.,Legendary Godfather Producer, Robert Evans, Dies at 8928 October 2019, 17:32 GMT,When producers from Paramount asked if they could use the home, Edward Norton Jr.’s reaction was to close the door in their face, but when Norton told his wife who was at the door, Mary chased the producers down, asking them to come back. She agreed to let them use the location, asking only for a new slate roof.,“I could have gotten them much more money,” Russo told The New York Post.,After Edward Norton Jr. passed away in 2010 at the age of 96, Edward Norton III put the house up for sale. It stayed on the market until it was sold in 2012 for $1.7 million. It then went under a complete renovation, changing from an eight-bedroom, three-bath house into the layout it has now. It was then sold to its current owners in 2016 for $2.4 million.,Never tell anyone outside the Family what you are thinking again.,The listing says that the house is meant for five people and is best suited for two adults and three children. In case you are thinking of recreating the famous wedding scene from the start of the movie, don’t. Parties are not allowed at the residence. However, if you would like to do some Godfather-related sightseeing while you are there, you won’t have to travel far, just next door is the house of Vito’s youngest son, Michael Corleone.,Alternatively, if you’d rather be like Luca Brasi and sleep with the fishes, there is a WWII sea fort in the middle of the ocean for sale at the modest price of $60,000.。
