In Huazhou, Maoming City, an upgraded inter-provincial road connecting Guangdong Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has transformed the once-remote border area into a dynamic gateway. The improved Highway S285 features widened lanes and enhanced landscaping, symbolizing Huazhou's initiative to turn provincial border areas from peripheral zones into thriving economic corridors.
Cross-provincial roads shine with a fresh new look.
Logistics capacity has been significantly enhanced, with transportation networks now covering the entire border area. This ensures faster and more stable movement of agricultural products, benefiting local producers and traders. Supporting infrastructure has also been expanded: newly built public parking areas are equipped with vehicle charging stations, catering to modern mobility needs and increasing the area's service capacity for residents and visitors alike.
