This section is expected to be completed and opened to traffic within the year, and "taking a high-speed train to visit Jiuzhaigou" will become a reality. The relevant person in charge of China Railway Chengdu Bureau Group introduced that the operation test mainly includes fault simulation, emergency rescue drills, train operation diagram parameter testing, and train operation test according to the diagram, etc., to test the adaptability of transportation organization under normal and abnormal conditions of various systems on the high-speed railway line, verify whether the train operation organization can meet the operational requirements, and provide technical basis for improving the transportation organization plan. The Sichuan Qinghai Railway starts from Chengdu East Station, passes through Chengdu City and Aba Prefecture in Sichuan Province, Gannan Prefecture in Gansu Province, Huangnan Prefecture, Haidong City, and Xining City in Qinghai Province, and connects to Xining Station. The total length of the main line is about 836 kilometers, with a designed speed of 200 kilometers per hour. The operation test this time is the section from Zhenjiangguan to Huangshengguan, with a total length of about 70 kilometers and four stations including Zhenjiangguan, Songpan, Huanglong Jiuzhai, and Huangshengguan. The section of the Chuanqing Railway from Zhenjiang Pass to Huangshengguan will be opened within the year, and high-speed trains will directly connect to Huanglong Jiuzhai Station.

It is reported that the deck cargo ship "Green Source No.1" has a total tonnage of 6731, a net tonnage of 3769, a length of 125.8 meters, and a width of 28 meters. The ship adopts a single-layer deck design, which can carry more than 160 new energy vehicles on a single voyage under full load conditions. The parking capacity is about 60% higher than that of existing passenger and roll on/roll off transport ships. The ship is planned to be deployed on the route from Hai'an New Port in Zhanjiang to Xiuying Port in Haikou. After being put into operation, it will add a new mode of sea transportation for new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait and effectively alleviate the tense situation of insufficient capacity for new energy vehicle transportation during the peak period of cross sea vehicle transportation in the Qiongzhou Strait.
