How can Langqi develop without a subway?
In recent years, the development of Langqi Island has attracted much attention, especially the planning of transportation infrastructure has become a hot topic. Although subway construction is regarded as the "gold standard" for urban development, Langqi Island has not yet been included in the subway planning due to geographical and economic factors. So, if Langqi does not build a subway, how can it achieve sustainable development? This article combines the hot topics and hot content on the Internet in the past 10 days and analyzes it from multiple dimensions such as transportation, industry, and tourism.
1. Analysis of the current traffic situation on Langqi Island

Langqi Island is located in Mawei District, Fuzhou City. It is an island at the estuary of the Min River. It currently mainly relies on highway and waterway transportation. Here’s a comparison of current transportation options:
| Transportation | Coverage | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Highway (bus, private car) | The whole island and the main urban area of Fuzhou | High flexibility and low cost | Congestion during peak hours and low traffic efficiency |
| waterway (ferry) | Connecting to Mawei, Changle and other places | Suitable for short-distance transportation with beautiful scenery | Due to weather conditions, the number of flights is limited. |
| Future planning (BRT, light rail) | To be determined | May improve traffic efficiency | Large investment, long construction period |
2. Development path that does not rely on subway
Although the subway is the core transportation option in many cities, Langqi Island can develop efficiently through:
1. Optimize existing transportation network
Increase the density of bus lines and add a bus rapid transit (BRT) system to improve the connection between the island and the main urban area of Fuzhou. At the same time, promote new energy buses to reduce environmental pollution.
2. Develop smart transportation
Introduce an intelligent dispatching system to monitor traffic flow in real time and optimize signal light timing. Combining micro-transportation such as shared bicycles and motorcycles to solve the "last mile" problem.
3. Strengthen waterway transportation
Expand dock facilities, increase ferry frequency, develop water tourism routes, and create the "Minjiang Golden Waterway" brand.
3. Coordinated development of industry and tourism
Langqi Island is rich in natural scenery and agricultural resources, which can promote economic growth through the following measures:
| field | Development direction | potential benefits |
|---|---|---|
| tourism | Eco-tourism, farm stays, island vacations | Attract tourists from Fuzhou and surrounding areas and drive consumption |
| Agriculture | Specialty planting (such as Langqi grapes), deep processing of agricultural products | Increase added value and increase farmers’ income |
| Cultural and creative industries | Island cultural IP development, handicrafts | Enhance brand influence and attract investment |
4. Policy and investment support
The Fuzhou Municipal Government has clearly focused on building Langqi Island as an "ecologically livable island" and may introduce more supportive policies in the future:
-Financial subsidies:Enterprises are encouraged to invest in tourism and agricultural projects.
-Infrastructure investment:Improve roads, water and electricity and other infrastructure.
-Investment cooperation:Introduce social capital to participate in development.
5. Summary
Langqi Island does not rely on the subway. It can also achieve high-quality development through diversified transportation, industrial upgrading and policy support. The key is to integrate existing resources, highlight ecological characteristics, and create differentiated competitiveness. In the future, Langqi is expected to become the “back garden” of the Fuzhou metropolitan area and a model for rural revitalization.
