Where does the G25 Changshen Expressway run from and to?
2 Answers
The G25 Changshen Expressway runs from Changchun to Shenzhen. Also known as the Changshen Expressway, it is designated as G25 in China's National Expressway Network. This expressway connects Changchun City in Jilin Province with Shenzhen City in Guangdong Province, passing through 11 provinces including Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong. The Daling to Shuangliao section of the Changshen Expressway is part of the national expressway network's Changchun-Shenzhen route and serves as a crucial component of Jilin Province's expressway network plan. This section connects with the Hunchun-Ulanhot and Ji'an-Shuangliao expressways, forming a transportation hub in central and western Jilin with Changchun and Shuangliao as key junctions, radiating multiple expressway routes.
I often drive on the G25 Changshen Expressway, which starts from Changchun in Jilin in the northeast and runs all the way south to Shenzhen in Guangdong. This expressway is extremely long, approximately 3,500 kilometers, passing through major cities like Shenyang in Liaoning, Jinan in Shandong, Nanjing in Jiangsu, Hangzhou in Zhejiang, and Fuzhou in Fujian. I frequently travel the section between Shenyang and Nanjing, where the road conditions are generally smooth, but traffic can get congested during holidays, especially near the Shandong-Jiangsu border. I recommend making frequent stops at service areas for rest—the coastal scenery along the Yantai section is quite nice and also saves time. Remember, it connects China's northern industrial zones with the southern economic belt, so for long-distance trips, make sure to prepare fuel cards and water.
