For the areas along the route, this is a green eco-tourism road.
The scenery along the Quning Railway is beautiful and the natural ecology is extremely beautiful.
According to statistics, there are 2 virgin forests, 8 national forest parks, 3 world geological parks, 6 5A-level scenic spots, and 13 4A-level scenic spots along the way, mainly distributed in Baishuiyang, Yuanyang Creek, Jiulongjiao, Liyu Creek, Buddha National and provincial tourist attractions and nature reserves such as Zishan, Baizu Mountain and Jiulong Mountain.
Such a beautiful blessing of nature, but because of the obstacles of mountains and rivers and the difficulty of roads, it has been hidden deep in the boudoir.
Nowadays, the opening of the Quning Railway has made the mountains and rivers smoother, connecting the tourism resources along the line into a line, turning it into a new golden tourist route, and driving the development of the tertiary industry in the cities and regions along the line.
"Between Quning and Ningxia, mountains and seas echo, and there is a strong complementarity in tourism resources. More than 70% of the whole journey passes through mountainous areas. The difference in tourism resources complements each other. The conditions for joint development of tourism are unique." Tourism Development of Quzhou Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau Gong Xiaofeng, director of the center, believes that the three cities of Quzhou, Lishui and Ningde can use their respective advantageous resources to package them into tourism products and jointly market them.
At the same time, for Quzhou, Ningde can be used as a springboard to attract tourists from all of Fujian. This is a brand new market space.

This is also a road where mountains and seas echo together.
The Qu-Ning Railway is connected to the Shanghai-Kunming Railway and Jiujing-Qu Railway in the north, and the coastal railway passage to the south, making Quzhou’s dream of a railway connecting the river and the sea quickly become a reality.
It is an integral part of the construction of the "meter"-shaped railway network in Quzhou and will promote a new round of upgrading of Quzhou's industry, tourism and logistics.
The construction of the Qu-Ning Railway will form the most convenient transportation channel between Ningde and southwestern Zhejiang, northeast Jiangxi, and central and western regions. It will provide sufficient transportation guarantee for the development of Ningde Port and the port industry. It will serve the development of Ningde Port and port industry. An important rear transportation channel for development.
This is undoubtedly a major benefit for enterprises in Quzhou.
Quzhou Yuanli Metal Products Co., Ltd. is one of the beneficiaries of this newly opened freight channel.
As a large modern enterprise integrating steel smelting and deep processing of metal products, Yuanli imports nearly 10 million tons of iron ore and coal every year.
"According to calculations, if we take the Qu-Ning Railway from Ningde Kemen Port, one ton can reduce transportation costs by more than 50 yuan, especially when unpredictable conditions occur at the original port, we can change the channel in time to reduce port detention costs. "Yuanli Company Deputy General Manager Wu Jianzhong said.
On the 27th, at the opening ceremony of the Quzhou Railway Station and the launching ceremony of the "Quzhou Youli" No. 1433 special tourist train, Quzhou and Ningde City signed a cooperation framework agreement through mobile terminals to take advantage of the main artery of the Quzhou Railway. , To jointly promote the high-quality social and economic development of the two places.
