Widespread transport network links airport


The complex project impressed some 20 journalists from eight countries, including Pakistan, Mongolia, Nepal and Cambodia, during a recent media tour organized by the media center for the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations and Beijing Information Office. During the tour they gained a better understanding of Beijing's development.
"My first impression is that this is a very big project," said Bilal Ahmed Sabri, a reporter from Pakistan Today. "It uses the most advanced technologies, such as the freeze-proofing road and illuminated signs to help avoid accidents. And it takes a short time to reach the airport."
Mahendra Subedi from Nepalese national news agency Rastriya Samachar Samiti said, since Beijing Capital International Airport is quite crowded, another airport is very valuable for improving the environment and quality.
"This is going to promote connectivity for China and many other countries, and boost people-to-people relations in tourism and other sectors," he said.
Fathimath Saara, a broadcaster from Public Service Media in the Maldives, said the highway will help enhance Beijing's position as an international hub.
"It's not only connected by flight and trade, but everything."
