How long does it take to take the subway from Suzhou city center to Shanghai city center?

At 10:30 this morning, Ren Rongsheng, who lived in the old city of Suzhou, departed from his home and walked for 7 minutes to reach the Shilu Station of Suzhou Metro Line 2. He took the subway and then transferred to Suzhou Metro Line 1 and Line 3. He arrived at the terminal station of Line 3, Weiting. There were about 20 stops in total, and it took him an hour to leave. Later, he tried taking Suzhou Metro Line 11 at Weiting Station.

He carefully recorded the time: Suzhou Metro Line 11 starts from Weiting Station and stops at Kunshan Huaqiao Station, covering a total of 57 minutes. He got off Suzhou Metro Line 11 from Huaqiao and looked at Shanghai Metro Line 11, which could be transferred at the same station. He smiled but didn't go up.

Ren Rongsheng estimates that it takes about 2 hours to take the subway from the center of Suzhou to Kunshan Huaqiao. If you still need to transfer from Huaqiao to Shanghai Metro Line 11 to enter the center of Shanghai, it will take about 1 hour.

From the center of Suzhou to the center of Shanghai, it is indeed feasible to take the subway all the way, which takes more than 3 hours, by the end of this month.

In terms of time, Ren Rongsheng thinks it is acceptable. "When it's officially opened, you have to try to travel all the way to Shanghai," Ren Rongsheng said. Because his in laws, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson all live in Shanghai, he often travels back and forth between Shanghai and Suzhou.

Isn't the high-speed rail much faster? Ren Rongsheng said that when taking the high-speed train, you need to enter the station in advance, wait for the train, and also worry about finding platforms, vehicles, and seats. The subway can be on the go, which is worry free. In addition, in addition to the time account, Ren Rongsheng also calculated an economic account for the reporter: this year, he is in his 70s and has a free senior public transportation card from Suzhou. He can take the bus for free from the Shilu subway station at his doorstep to the final station of Suzhou Metro Line 11, Huaqiao Station. Therefore, he only needs to pay for the cost of Line 11 and subway transfer within the Shanghai area. He has carefully read the route map posted at Huaqiao Station of Shanghai Metro Line 11 and checked it. From his home in Suzhou to the home of his children in Shanghai, the entire journey only costs 8 yuan.

Over the years, Ren Rongsheng has been very concerned about the construction of Suzhou Metro Line 11, and is familiar with its development milestones: trial operation from March to June, completion acceptance on June 5th, trial operation from today to the 20th, and official opening by the end of June

The opening of Suzhou Metro Line 11 is not only exciting for Suzhou residents, but also for many Shanghai residents who choose to come early to check in.

Wang Zhilong, who specially came from Qingpu, Shanghai for a test ride, was particularly happy. His ancestral home is Suzhou, and he moved to Shanghai with his father when he was young. He used to drive back to Suzhou several times a year to visit. This time, he and his wife will take the subway all the way to visit his ancestral home located in Tangjia Lane, Gusu District, Suzhou. Shanghai nursery rhyme: "Shake, shake, shake to Grandma's Bridge." Nowadays, besides Suzhou River, there are highways, expressways, high-speed trains, etc. to Suzhou, and even the subway is now connected.

For the convenience of cross city commuters commuting to and from work, after the official opening, Suzhou Rail Transit will specially arrange "big station express" trains every morning and evening: two big station express trains from Gongqing Station to Huaqiao Station in the morning and two big station express trains from Huaqiao Station to Gongqing Station in the evening; In addition, Shanghai Metro will further delay the last train from Huaqiao Station to Shanghai center City to 22:00, and formulate a plan to add the last train of Suzhou Line 11 and Shanghai Line 11 at fixed points to cope with the temporary large passenger flow of Huaqiao Station after the last train.

After experiencing it, the reporter also went to the platforms and concourse of Suzhou Metro Line 11 to take a look.

Passengers transferring at Huaqiao Station will be attracted by the four dazzling pillar shaped LED screens on the first floor of the transfer channel, which display promotional videos of Shanghai Disneyland; In addition, there is a welcome sign on the second floor of the transfer passage that reads "Welcome to Suzhou Metro Line 11".

At the Huaqiao Station platform of Suzhou Metro Line 11, a small TV above the head can not only display train arrival information, but also real-time passenger capacity information of each carriage, making it convenient for passengers to choose a relatively comfortable carriage position to wait and ride based on the passenger flow density of the carriage.

In addition, the route display panel of Suzhou Metro Line 11 has displayed all the routes of Suzhou Metro Line 3, making it convenient for passengers to plan their routes in advance.

According to previous interviews with reporters, it was learned that by the end of this year, Suzhou's Line 3 is expected to be connected to Suzhou's Line 11 for operation. Simply put, the same vehicle can pass through "Suzhou Line 3+Line 11". This plan is currently being approved and is ready for renovation.

After the reporter entered the subway, the seats in the carriage were basically full, and many people were also quickly moving towards both ends of the train. Suzhou Metro Line 11 adopts fully automatic operation, and the front and rear driver's cabins have become places for many people to look at the subway tunnel and take photos and check in.

At the Yushan Square Station in Kunshan, the reporter saw five stone shaped seats in each group on the waiting platform, which were filled with words. Upon closer inspection, it was a Kunqu opera style called "Sheng Dan Jing Mo Chou", with a Kunqu opera style written on each stone and expressed in different Chinese characters. In the hall of Kunshan Cultural and Art Center Station, many people are taking photos in front of a scroll shaped LED screen, which extends several tens of meters and has a feeling of Chinese ink painting.

During the summer vacation, various theme parks, fairy tale towns, and other places are bustling with people. In contrast, Wuyi County in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, which is striving to build a "hometown of fairy tales", appears somewhat desolate. This mountainous county was famous for its hot springs in the early years, and in recent years, it has proposed the "Fairy Tale Wuyi" urban brand, planning to create a highland for Chinese fairy tale culture and creativity. To this end, Wuyi established a specialized working organization called "Fairy Tale Office" and held 8 "Fairy Tale Congresses". However, the results were somewhat less than expected. The counterattack of mountainous counties is deeply related to the concept of fairy tales and children's literature in Wuyi. "Wuyi's fairy tales, aside from their historical origins, first have soup and then concepts," Wang Xiaoling, Executive Deputy Director of Wuyi County Fairy Tale Office, explained to reporters. Tang Tang is the Vice Chairman of Zhejiang Writers Association and a well-known children's literature writer in China. Tang Tang has mentioned multiple times that since childhood, she has

When it comes to bad fish, people in Jiangnan understand it, but when it comes to bad fish, many people are confused. In fact, both "zao" and "gui" refer to the method of marinating fish and vegetables with seasonings. "鲊" initially only referred to the pickling of fish, and as they were pickled, they became something that could be pickled by all things. When marinating fish, use rice and salt as seasoning. When making rice, either by pressing it with a stone or twisting it inside a cloth, it is done to remove moisture and add flavor, hence the word "rice". Wrapped in a lotus leaf, it is highly favored by famous scholars. In the summer of the third year of the Changqing reign of the Tang Dynasty, with the sound of cicadas singing in the fields of lotus leaves, Yuan Zhen went to Yuezhou and passed by Hangzhou on the way. Bai Juyi held a boat banquet on West Lake to welcome his friends and enjoy the scenery of the lake and mountains. The table was filled with delicious dishes, including lotus fish buns and lotus leaf wrapped buns. Lotus room fish buns are made by taking fresh lotus seeds, digging them out one by one, filling them with small fish balls, and steaming them until cooked. The freshness of the fish meat is accompanied by the freshness of the lotus seeds

A while ago, the government research group of Hailing District, Taizhou City, published "Zibo Barbecue is So Popular, What can Taizhou do?" The key to learning from Taizhou Hailing lies in how to make the renewal and transformation of Taizhou's old city smoother: like Zibo, Hailing, which is also in the midst of transformation, is the main carrier of Taizhou's national historical and cultural city. Faced with the hardcore task of Taizhou Municipal Party Committee "focusing on implementing the renewal of the old city, carefully making the" Fengcheng River "cultural core, and building a cultural ancient city that gathers humanities, carries memories, and expresses homesickness", Taizhou should learn from Zibo... The article analyzes and summarizes in more than 5400 words. There are three noteworthy points, three thought-provoking questions, and three valuable experiences for Zibo barbecue. Hailing District is the main urban area of Taizhou, with Taizhou's total economic output ranking among the top 50 in the country, including pharmaceuticals and shipping
