Why is Yunnan rich in water?

Shuifu County is also Xiangjiaba Hydropower Station, the third largest hydropower station in China, and the largest inland port in Yunnan Province. Known as "the first port of the Yangtze River and the colorful north gate of Yunnan".

Standing on the observation deck of Xiangjiaba Hydropower Station, you can see that the mountains are surrounded by endless clear water. Xiangjiaba Hydropower Station, as an important ecological barrier and major water conservancy hub of the Yangtze River, has been nourishing Shuifu County for decades. With the implementation of the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, Shuifu County has also ushered in new opportunities for green development.

"To develop the port economy and accelerate its integration into the Yangtze River Economic Belt, rich water has a unique location advantage." Xue Guiqiang, secretary of Shuifu County Party Committee, said that Shuifu Port is the only port on the Jinsha River that can carry ships of more than 2,000 tons directly between the river and the sea. It is an important sea node for Yunnan Province to reach Central China and East China and a hub port for realizing river-sea combined transport. It is also the only entry point for Yunnan Province to connect with the golden waterway of the Yangtze River and integrate into the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

According to Li Songtao, the county magistrate of Shuifu County, in recent years, the cargo throughput of Shuifu Port has increased by 20% to 30% every year, far exceeding the design capacity in the past. 2065438+In May 2006, the first phase capacity expansion project of Shuifu Port, with an investment of 2.46 billion yuan and an annual throughput of 5.4 million tons, was officially started and will be put into trial operation by the end of this year. In the next step, we will expand the shoreline resources, arrange 8 new container berths, and support a logistics park covering an area of 2,900 mu to realize the annual throughput of120,000 tons.

As the throat artery from Yunnan to Sichuan, convenient and economical waterway transportation is the biggest advantage for Shuifu County to realize green development. "At present, the waterway freight rate of Shuifu is about 5 cents per kilometer per ton, the railway freight rate is about 1, and the road freight rate is about 4 to 5 in Zhaotong City. Transportation through water-rich ports can greatly reduce costs and energy consumption. " Li Songtao said.

Developing port economy is a big article, involving ecological protection, traffic construction, industrial layout and many other elements. Therefore, Shuifu County officially launched the integrated construction of "port garden city" in April this year, that is, to build a modern port by "expanding the port", to build an industrial engine by "building a garden" and to make room for development by "retreating from the city". "Shuifu is a mountain city. To be a big port, we must retreat from the city; After the port is completed, if there is no industrial support, there will be no goods to transport. Therefore, we must focus on long-term development and promote the integrated development of "port garden city" Xue Guiqiang said.

For a long time, the traditional backward production capacity accumulated along the Yangtze River has a large volume and many risks. In the process of promoting economic development, how to break the strange circle of "pollution first and then treatment", retreat and dissolve the old kinetic energy, and leave room for the development of new kinetic energy is an important topic for Shuifu County to explore and practice.
