The sky was hazy, and Xue Chen, who lives in Langfang, Hebei, parked his private car and hurriedly walked into Yongqing East Station, preparing to take the Jinxing intercity train to Beijing for work. After graduating from university, Xue Chen stayed in Beijing to work, and the combination of high-speed rail and subway became her preferred way of commuting. Last December, the Jinxing Intercity Railway was officially opened. Xue Chen took the high-speed rail from Yongqing East Station and it took about 15 minutes to reach Beijing Daxing International Airport. After transferring to the subway, he could reach the company in just over 20 minutes. The opening and operation of the Jinxing Intercity Railway has put an end to the history of no high-speed rail service in Yongqing County and Anci District of Langfang City, providing local residents with a safer, greener, more efficient, and more comfortable mode of transportation. In recent years, the encrypted Beijing Tianjin Hebei transportation network has brought cities in the region closer and closer, and Xue Chen's experience is a microcosm of many residents living a "dual city life". In August 2008, China's first high-speed railway with a designed speed of 350 kilometers per hour, the Beijing Tianjin Intercity Railway, was opened for operation. Since then, the number of passengers commuting between Beijing and Tianjin has gradually increased. Subsequently, the Beijing Tianjin intercity railway was extended to Yujiapu Station in Binhai New Area (later renamed "Binhai Station"), and passengers could take the train from Beijing South Station to reach Tianjin Binhai New Area in just about an hour. In May 2021, Hanwang Technology Co., Ltd. and North China Talent Market jointly established Tianjin North Hanwang Technology Co., Ltd. in Tianjin Binhai Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park. The chairman of the company, Li Zhifeng, came to the Bohai Bay and traveled more frequently between Beijing and Tianjin. "Convenient transportation has played a supportive role in talent exchange and enterprise development between the two regions," said Li Zhifeng. The company's employees mainly come from Beijing and Tianjin, and many have settled in the vicinity of the park. Located between Beijing and Tianjin, Wuqing Station is an important stop on the Beijing Tianjin intercity railway and a "bright window" for observing the coordinated development of Beijing Tianjin Hebei. This year is the 13th year that Yao Bing, the station manager of Wuqing Station of China Railway Beijing Group Co., Ltd., has been working at the station. Since 2011, he has witnessed the transformation and growth of this station, and also felt the changes brought by the Beijing Tianjin intercity railway to Wuqing. "When I first started working here, the Wuqing Station only sent an average of over 3000 passengers per day; now, we send nearly 10000 passengers per day, about three times more than before," said Yao Bing. Recalling the past, Yao Bing was filled with emotions. "At first, there were only a few scattered real estate developments around, and the supporting commercial districts and living facilities were not fully built. With the implementation of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei coordinated development strategy, many people working in Beijing came to live in Wuqing, driving various consumer formats such as supermarkets to gather around the high-speed rail station.". In order to meet the travel needs of passengers, Wuqing Station was also expanded in 2014, with the station building area increasing to over 4400 square meters. Yao Bing said that there are still many tourists who come to consume, shop, and go on outings. The interweaving of "commuting flow" and "consumption flow" constantly enhances the vitality of this stop. The Tianjin Florence town adjacent to Wuqing Station is the best footnote to the active "high-speed rail economy". Since the beginning of the new year, this distinctive themed consumer shopping district has attracted many tourists from the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region. "In the evening, the town of Florence is brightly lit, full of vitality, and looks extremely beautiful."
