Could a stone carving change how a city commutes? Today we stand before the \u81ea\u884c\u8f66\u4e13\u7528\u8def\u8d77\u70b9 Stone in Beijing. It marks the start of something special. It is the beginning of Beijing’s first bicycle-only road. This dedicated path aims to ease traffic and offer a green way to travel.
The \u81ea\u884c\u8f66\u4e13\u7528\u8def\u8d77\u70b9 Stone stands as a starting point. The route stretches 6.5 kilometers. It links Huilongguan and Shangdi. These are areas known for tech companies. The path helps commuters. It reduces congestion between home and work.
Think of this \u81ea\u884c\u8f66\u4e13\u7528\u8def\u8d77\u70b9 Stone as more than just rock. Imagine it as a commitment. Beijing commits to green transport. The bicycle-only road opened in May 2019. It quickly became popular. By May 2021 it had seen over 3.18 million trips. Each cyclist rode an average of 3.8 kilometers.
The \u81ea\u884c\u8f66\u4e13\u7528\u8def\u8d77\u70b9 Stone and its path also help the environment. Calculations show the route has cut over 800 tons of emissions.
Look closely at the \u81ea\u884c\u8f66\u4e13\u7528\u8def\u8d77\u70b9 Stone. Consider the art around it. A sculpture named “Journey of Health” stands nearby. It features a Mobius ring. This symbolizes cycling as a positive loop for the city. The cyclists in the art are abstract. They use primary colors. This represents the beauty of life.
The bike road even changes direction during the day. A tidal lane uses red paint. In the morning it flows east to west. In the afternoon it reverses. Lights above show riders the way. This adapts to commuter flows.
Notice the помощь systems on the bridges. These imported systems help cyclists uphill. They also add friction downhill. This makes the ride safer. It is the first time this technology has been used in China.
Around 1,500 people now regularly commute by bike thanks to this road. The \u81ea\u884c\u8f66\u4e13\u7528\u8def\u8d77\u70b9 Stone marks not just a path’s start. It is the beginning of a greener commute culture in Beijing.
This project won an ENR Global Road Project Award in 2020. This recognizes its impact. It is not just a local success. It sets an example worldwide.
So next time you see the \u81ea\u884c\u8f66\u4e13\u7528\u8def\u8d77\u70b9 Stone remember its story. It is a story of green innovation. It is a healthier future. Beijing rides toward that future one pedal at a time.
