plans to improve access and mobility for passengers and freight both to and within Xiangyang city, the second largest city in Hubei province, People's Republic of China over the short-, medium- and long-term.
As a central city located on the Han River and traversed by several tributaries, Xiangyang is an important part of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and is the hub city of the Han River Ecological Economic Belt. It is located 3 hours by road from four major provincial capitals: Chongqing, Wuhan, Xi’an, and Zhengzhou. Historically, this central geographic location provided Xiangyang with a strategic advantage. However, Xiangyang now faces several transport challenges that must be overcome in order for the city to attract business, tourism and industry and spur economic growth.
