Is the Jinglan Line a highway?
1 Answers
Jinglan Line is not a highway, but a national road, originally known as National Highway 104. It starts in Beijing and ends in Pingtan County, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, with a total length of 2,420 kilometers. The Jinglan Line passes through eight provinces including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, and Fujian, traversing the Keqiao, Yuecheng, and Shangyu districts within Shaoxing. The name of the national highway is derived from the abbreviations of the starting and ending cities. Beijing is abbreviated as 'Jing,' and Pingtan is abbreviated as 'Lan,' hence National Highway 104 was renamed from its former names Jingfu Line and Beiping Line to Jinglan Line. However, the route remains unchanged, and the road length within Shaoxing is still 148.517 kilometers.
