With 800 million vehicle gets in Tokyo why?





In early December of last year, the reporter should Japan Ministry of inviting, with China media delegation visiting Japan. This activity is the Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs "2009 promotion of Chinese and Asian news media communication and strategy of the reciprocal relationship between the present and future" activities. Total including Hong Kong Pao, the Beijing News, yangcheng evening news and the Chongqing evening news "and other home media participation in 8.

Interview exchange involving Japan-China relations policy, food safety, waste sorting, married, one child policy, intellectual property protection, rainwater and disability policy, etc. Which can give lessons or inspiration to Chongqing, press summary statement to choose, to extend the Chongqing, for "he mountain jade stone".

"Hey, traffic jam!" Chongqing people, almost every day suffering from traffic jam.

9 a.m. rush period Tokyo street to traffic.

Journalist in Tokyo, daily shuttle to the individual blocks, it is difficult to encounter a traffic jam. Tokyo Highway not wide, much narrower than that of Chongqing. Each time you travel, the organizers arranged a very compact, as from 9: 00 interview Tokyo Chamber, 10: 30 interviews of Waseda University. This gives a press fairly wondering: can arrive? results every time.

Tokyo is a city with 13 million population, 800 million motor vehicles of the metropolis, tenure is several times more than in Chongqing, but why not plug?

Development of rail transport

Travel preferred Metro tourism open private car

Kobe's bright Lantern Festival

Reporter's experience and investigation, first, Tokyo has developed subway transportation. According to Tokyo Metro company, since 1927 Ueno-Asakusa opening paragraph, the Corporation has grown to 5 large arteries total , operational mileage (Gallery Forum) located 292 km 214 stations daily capacity of 800 000. Tokyo Office, regardless of the public, the Metro travel preferred. Every morning, Tidewater Office orderly in subway mouth into emission, become a major landscape.

Secondly, almost no one self-driving car to work. In Tokyo, road vehicles, taxis, tourist bus, truck or food truck. Looked around Tokyo urban and rural areas, all of the House are full of private cars. The Japanese master told reporters that Japan nationals are known national petroleum resources shortage, so restrained unnecessary cost. "We had the whole city traffic jam 's, now only in tourism, holidays or leisure is the main motor cars, take the subway, it is a low-carbon life!"

Officials is no exception. Before leaving Japan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shinjuku has a going-away, was attended by the Secretary of State Secretary and Counsellor Kawamura Tai Long (equivalent to my Secretary, foreign news), the international reporting officer Akamatsu Wu (equivalent to my Foreign Ministry spokesman), administrative officer Okada Sheng (Hu Jintao to visit Japan time Party Chief translation). Feast, officials are each take the subway home.

Watching them leave back, suddenly aware that reporters such a big city such a narrow space, traffic is so smooth that covers Tokyo City vehicle density, and Chongqing streets late at night. People can also!

Extension of Chongqing: self city purposes on after hours, the major traffic arteries of the traffic jam or a slow down, but doesn't solve the rush hour traffic flow of contradictions, particularly yuao and yellow garden bridge, hourly flow 1.5 million, is the design value of the number of times. Although the traffic management Department is working on single or double number limit line programme, but also to 1 or only solvable urgency; look for the bus or private car, almost 95% of all single cycle. It is the root cause of the problem, should speed up the development of rail transport, and energy-saving emission reduction and to fundamentally solve the traffic jam of stubborn.

Fix parking difficult

Street only a short stop residential building parking platform between

To solve the parking difficult, Tokyo street side has many parking lot, usually three or four layers, can stop a few hundred vehicles; void between the houses, built steel parking station, you can stop a few vehicles to tens, so road (including branch road) no mess out misplaces vehicles. Journalists travelling in a bus stop in Tokyo street, have a special identity that is less than 1 hour.

Residential areas as long as there are clearance Department built parking station

In addition to good hardware facilities, quality of Japan motorists are commendable. In Chongqing, the public through the crossing, even walk along the zebra crossings, motor also does not make people and quickly; the most bustling Ginza in Tokyo or Shinjuku, the reporter had customarily Zebra is the car ahead, but the drivers often take the initiative to stop that. The master informed, "Japan traffic enforcement pedestrian priority principle, regardless of whether you pass the main road, or a small fork in the road, as long as a show of hands, the bus will stop you. ”

In the interview of Tokyo, Kobe, Tokushima, see Police directing traffic at intersections, hear the sound of the Horn, never seen auto Flash pushed in front. It should be said that the people of Japan is a rule of life, when adhering to the rules as a socio-cultural, natural and smooth traffic to achieve a harmonious.

Extension: Chongqing, Chongqing automobile surge in recent years, increasingly obstructing blocking the streets. Car parking is difficult, more difficult. Can be predicted that the city will also be a substantial increase in motor vehicles, and nowadays city has more than 100 vehicles Mo million units, vehicles and contradictions have exceptions, if half of the increase to Tokyo ― 400 million units, the entire highway or will become a huge parking lot. Should plan ahead!

Kobe earthquake Museum not forget once disaster

In 1995, Jan 17, morning of the Kobe earthquake, the scale of Leeb 7.3, 6500 people died. "As many houses as Kobe, wood structures of houses, so direct died in the earthquake not many people, but the fire caused by the earthquake, has claimed many lives. "The master said.

Journalists came to Kobe, is winter. The night, the streets of Ginkgo biloba leaves, yellow like the large snow fall. To cherish the earthquake victims, each year, the Kobe is in the East Garden-Cho, a 25-day lit Lantern Festival. Night, written specifically for the commemoration of the erection of various coloured bright as daylight, hundreds of thousands of people came from across the country, in the Mozart Requiem in roaming the dead sea, visit the lamp.

The Memorial is the most ambitious ceiling design: it is a block of glass, the above storage one pond of clear water, water bubbling, like tears. Ask the Lord: "that's the moral people sad tears?" answer: "no, because the big earthquake in a lot of people were burned to death under the ruins. Their thirst, architect designed the water, and let their soul to get water to moisten and comfort. ”

Extension of Chongqing: Kobe earthquake is a natural disaster, Chongqing heavy bombing is a man-made disaster. Not to forget once disaster, is a form of the original meaning of remembrance. In Chongqing hundreds of war memorial site, our forms are not available, the content is tedious, for instance, the big crossing track jiaochangkou massacre site, the form of surviving, but of the Museum.

In order to forget the past, Chongqing's monuments, but also the Tim?
