Introduction to Old Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway The Old Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway is the first highway between Shanghai and Hangzhou, and the section in Zhejiang is called "Wengjin Line". "Weng" refers to "Wengjiabu" in Haining, and "Jin" refers to Jinsiniang Bridge in Pinghu.
According to the investigation, the Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway was built at 1932. This is a tortuous route, along Hangzhou Bay and the north bank of Qiantang River. It is also the earliest expressway in Haining.
The Zhejiang section of the Old Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway was once called provincial highway 0 1, which shows its position in the history of Zhejiang traffic development. As the traffic artery between Shanghai and Hangzhou, it is the only traffic artery except the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway. 1998, 0 1 provincial road (East-West Avenue) was opened to traffic, and the original 0 1 provincial road was renamed Wengjin Line.
The Old Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway (Wengjin Line) starts from Xietu Road, Tibet South Road, Shanghai, and ends at Qingtaimen, Hangzhou, connecting Pinghu, Haiyan and Haining in Jiaxing. It is the only passage from Shanghai to Hangzhou many years ago, and it is also 1932 the first national highway across provinces and cities in China. Today, this highway has withdrawn from the historical stage of traffic arteries, but it also has a name called "the most beautiful highway".
Meijing Avenue Old Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway is a winding route along Hangzhou Bay and the north bank of Qiantang River. Some places are exaggerated to the point of bending. On both sides of this two-lane road are tall trees, which are flourishing and faintly visible in the beautiful scenery.
The most beautiful section, the most beautiful highway, Ding Qiao-Dakou section has been circled as a scenic road, and the place where you can see the first-line tide and cross-tide for free has been circled.
Overlooking from the air, the winding Qiantang River is shaded by trees and is called "the most beautiful road". With the changes of the times, highways have gradually withdrawn from the main stage of transportation. In Haining section, the development of local green belts and parks has become a leisure corridor for the tourism development of Baili Qiantang River in Haining City. Nowadays, every weekend, tourists from the surrounding areas often come to this beautiful path to enjoy a leisurely life.
Who built the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway "Jiaxing Memorabilia" said: After the "September 18th Incident", Japanese imperialist aggression intensified, and an all-out war between China and Japan was inevitable. From a military point of view, the Kuomintang authorities have stepped up the construction of domestic transportation. The Old Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway was opened from west to east in June 1925 1 1, and was completed and opened to traffic in June1932/. Shortly after the completion of the Anti-Japanese War, the old Shanghai-Hangzhou highway was also bombed because of the war.
In Jiaxing, Zhejiang, there is a saying that the old Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway was built by Japanese devils. What is this? Will the Japanese invaders be so kind? Huang Renyu, a historian, mentioned in his memoir "Castle Peak of the Yellow River" that after Japan declared its surrender in 1945, due to the lack of traffic conditions, many Japanese troops stayed in China and were taken care of by the Kuomintang troops at that time.
Around June 1945 1 1, due to the consideration and arrangement at that time, the 6 th1division of the Japanese army, which had not yet returned to China, was asked to repair the Shanghai-Hangzhou national highway. The engineering officers of the 6 1 division of the Japanese army also specially submitted a plan for road construction. As a staff officer, Mr. Huang Renyu supervised the Japanese army to repair the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway. The surrendered Japanese army was punished for building the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway, which people mistakenly thought was built by the Japanese.
