The mileage of rural roads across China grew to a total of 4.6 million km by the end of 2023, reflecting the country's notable achievements in the construction of rural roads, said a white paper released by China's State Council Information Office on Friday.
The white paper, titled "China's Rural Roads in the New Era," said that by the end of 2023, the total length of rural roads reached 4.6 million km, an increase of 21.7 percent over 2013, enough to circle the equator 115 times.
So far, the country has put in place a rural transport infrastructure network in which county roads connect rural and urban areas, township roads crisscross, and village roads facilitate travel between households and farmland, the white paper said.
Roads have been built with higher technical standards across the country's rural areas. By the end of 2023, graded rural roads in China amounted to 4.45 million km, with its share in total rural roads reaching 96.8 percent, up 11.9 percentage points over the past 10 years.
Paved roads measured 4.22 million km and accounted for 91.8 percent of all rural roads, representing an increase of 27.2 percentage points over the past decade.
The white paper also highlighted increasing accessibility in rural areas, saying that paved roads have been built in about 30,000 towns and townships and over 500,000 administrative villages.
China has built paved roads in rural tourist destinations, industrial parks, sources of resources and minerals, and other points of economic growth, which has made travel in remote areas and particularly in mountainous areas more convenient, according to the white paper.
