On June 16, Tongren West (Interchange) Toll Station of Hangzhou Ruili Expressway was officially opened. So far, the four toll booths in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Tongren have all "arrived", which will effectively shorten the distance between Hangzhou Ruili Expressway and the main urban area of Tongren City, relieve the pressure of entering and exiting the main urban area, and help to promote the development strategy of the main urban area.

Tongren, located at the junction of Guizhou, Hunan and Chongqing, is the gateway and bridgehead for Guizhou to open to the east. However, in the past, due to rugged terrain and inconvenient transportation, local development was limited. A doggerel tells us that Qiandong's children have a hard time traveling: "The mountains are high and the cliffs are accompanied by torrents. Pedestrians climb the stone walls and stumble when walking."
Faced with the realistic dilemma, Tongren shouted the heroic words of "Never let mountains block the pace of progress". Over the past decade, Tongren Municipal Party Committee and Tongren Municipal People's Government have led more than 4 million Qiandong people to work hard to break the traffic bottleneck and pave the way for development with the determination to open up new roads in the mountains and meet water.

Today, the three-dimensional transportation network integrating highway, railway, aviation and water transport makes Tongren a hub in eastern Guizhou, narrowing the space and time distance between the local area and the outside world, opening up Tongren to the outside world, and building a new platform for opening up and exchange.
