Should I go to Zhongshan North Station or Zhongshan Station by bus? This problem will be confusing for people who are new to Zhongshan. Although Zhongshan North Station is called North Station, almost all trains on the Guangzhou-Zhuhai Railway will pass through Zhongshan North Station, so Zhongshan North Station is the first choice for people to visit Zhongshan City. When you get to Zhongshan Station, you may see a desolate place.
"Zhongshan North Station is the real Zhongshan Station!" For a long time, many people hold the idea of "correcting the name" of Zhongshan North Station. 2065438+On September 25th, 2004, Zhongshan North Station began to change its name. Members of the public can provide suggestions on the name of the station in official website, Zhongshan Development and Reform Bureau. After taking the Guangzhou-Zhuhai subway to Zhongshan, it will no longer be "investigated". Zhongshan North Station is very close to Zhongshan City, and the city center is opposite Dongming Bridge. In addition, both the number of trains and supporting facilities in Zhongshan North Station are much better than those in Zhongshan Station. Take today as an example, there are as many as 36 trains from Guangzhou South to Zhongshan North, while there are only 5 trains from Guangzhou South to Zhongshan Station.
"Zhongshan Station" and "Zhongshan North Station" have caused great troubles to foreign tourists. "According to the survey, if you don't know the situation from local friends in advance, almost all foreign tourists think that' Zhongshan Station' is a veritable main city site, and it often happens that foreign tourists delay their trips. Zhongshan Station has also been dubbed by many netizens as' Fudge Station'. " 20 14 during the "two sessions" in Zhongshan, Deng Zhiyi and other NPC deputies said in their suggestions. At present, there is a great demand for renaming Zhongshan North Station. Many people suggest that the existing Guangzhou-Zhuhai rail transit Zhongshan North Station should be changed to the original planned Shiqi Station or directly called Zhongshan Station, while the current Zhongshan Station should be changed to Zhongshan East Station, Torch Station and Development Zone Station.
"Changing' Zhongshan Station' to' Zhongshan East Station' can not only accurately describe the location of the area, but also show the status of Zhongshan Development Zone. Changing Zhongshan North Station into Shiqi Station is certainly better than the current Zhongshan North Station, but it is not ideal. If Zhongshan North Station is renamed' Zhongshan Station', it will be based on the present and focus on the long-term. " Deng Zhiyi and other NPC representatives said.
In this regard, they proposed to rename the Guangzhou-Zhuhai urban rail transit "Zhongshan North Station" as "Zhongshan Station", and listed three reasons: First, from the overall strategic point of view, renaming "Zhongshan North Station" as "Zhongshan Station" is the need to reflect the national transportation strategy. Secondly, it is conducive to enhancing the city image and location advantages of Zhongshan. Furthermore, the renaming of Zhongshan North Station conforms to the naming principle of facilitating the people and benefiting the people.
They said, "According to the current plan, Zhongshan North Station is expected to become the only station set up in Zhongshan City by the Shenmao section of the western coastal high-speed railway. With the entry of Shenmao Railway, the history of Zhongshan without railway will be ended, and the travel habits of Zhongshan citizens will be changed. Zhongshan North Station will also become an inter-provincial high-speed railway station in the true sense of Zhongshan. " Regarding this proposal, Zhongshan Development and Reform Bureau recently responded that the renaming of "Zhongshan North Station" has started.
According to reports, the owner of Guangzhou-Zhuhai Intercity Rail Transit Co., Ltd. is Guangdong Zhuguang Intercity Rail Transit Co., Ltd., and the operating unit is Guangzhou Railway Group (affiliated to China Railway Corporation). In view of the feasibility of renaming the site, application procedures and processing time limit, the Municipal Development and Reform Bureau has sent a letter to the owners and operating units of Guangzhou-Zhuhai urban rail transit. After the owners and operating units of Guangzhou-Zhuhai urban rail transit reply, our bureau will formulate a work plan for site renaming and apply for site renaming step by step according to procedures.
In addition, the online naming activity of Zhongshan North Station of Guangzhou-Zhuhai urban rail has been started. Before September 30th, citizens can put forward working opinions and new site names on the renaming of Zhongshan North Station of Guangzhou-Zhuhai urban rail transit, and the Municipal Development and Reform Bureau will call on government departments at all levels to actively participate.
According to official website, the name has four requirements: 1. It should not only conform to the travel habits of the masses, but also highlight the local cultural heritage; 2. Use standardized Chinese characters, which are catchy and easy to remember; 3. To avoid the repeated use of buildings with the same name at home and abroad; You can't name names. It is reported that in the design stage of Guangzhou-Zhuhai intercity, the names of Zhongshan Station are Nantou, Dongsheng, Xiaolan, Guzhen, Shi Qi, Zhongshan, Nanlang and Wenquan Station. Before the opening of 20 1 1, Zhongshan municipal government adjusted the names of some stations, among which "Shiqi Station" was changed to Zhongshan North Station and "Wenquan Station" was changed to Cuiheng Station.
According to the planning and design, Guangzhou-Zhuhai Intercity Zhongshan Station is positioned as the "gateway station" of Zhongshan City. However, due to the imperfect construction of supporting road network and municipal facilities around Zhongshan Station at that time, the supporting facilities of Zhongshan North Station were relatively perfect, so the Guangzhou Railway Group arranged the trains of Zhongshan North Station more intensively when making the operation map, and the trains of Zhongshan Station were relatively few. Later, due to inertia, the number of trains and people in Zhongshan North Station increased continuously, and it gradually became the gateway station of Zhongshan City. At the same time, the name of Zhongshan North Station has brought some troubles to foreign tourists.
