State Grid Bortala Electric Power Supply Company Ensures Smooth Railway Transport During the Spring Festival Travel Rush

BORTALA, China, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On January 20, State Grid Bortala Electric Power Supply Company organized a team of employees to conduct inspections on the 110 kV Huanggu transmission line, ensuring its safe and stable operation during the Spring Festival. The 110 kV Huanggu line serves as a critical power supply for the Jingyihuo Railway, which traverses the Achar mountain region in Jinghe County. With the Spring Festival approaching, railway transport has experienced dual peaks in passenger traffic and logistics, making reliable power supply essential for the smooth operation of trains. Therefore, inspection work must be stringent and thorough.

Due to cold weather conditions, drone batteries are prone to failure, rendering them unsuitable for inspection tasks. Consequently, prior to the Spring Festival, Bortala Company planned manual inspections to ensure the reliability of this vital transmission line. During the inspection process, employees considered the geographical location and electricity load characteristics of the 110 kV Huanggu line area. For important transmission channels, special sections, and critical crossing points, the inspection frequency was increased, and comprehensive checks were conducted on the line’s operating environment, foundations, insulators, and connection points to guarantee its safe and stable operation.

Deng Yunchen, an inspector, noted that “as one of the key transmission lines for Jingyihuo railway power supply, the 110 kV Huanggu line operates in a complex and harsh environment, passing through mountainous areas and the Gobi Desert, which poses significant challenges to inspection work.” To date, 281 base poles and towers along the 110 kV Huanggu line have been inspected, with no potential hazards identified. Moving forward, the company will strictly adhere to the Spring Festival power supply assurance requirements, fully commit to promoting these efforts, closely monitor weather changes, conduct focused inspections on critical load lines, and implement multiple measures to ensure stable and orderly power supply during the Spring Festival, safeguarding the lights of Bortala with practical actions.

Be My Guest: The Peak Episode

GUIYANG, China, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Guizhou, located in the heart of southwestern China, features a landscape shaped by a mix of plateaus, mountains, hills, and basins. Known as “a Heaven of Myriad Mountains”, Guizhou boasts karst peaks, highland lakes, deep gorges, waterfalls, sinkholes, and crevices, making it an ideal destination for mountain tourism and outdoor adventures.


Be My Guest: The Peak Episode

The short video series “Be My Guest • Focus Guizhou“, produced by Guizhou Satellite TV and the International Communication Center of Guizhou Radio and Television Station, features international photographers exploring the vibrant and diverse Guizhou. Through their cameras, the series captures their authentic experiences and the rich culture of Guizhou.

In this episode, Ivan Mendelevich, a professional photographer and motorcycle enthusiast from Argentina, accepts an invitation from his friend Wang Menghan to embark on a thrilling “peak-chasing” journey across Guizhou.

Their adventure begins at the Wanfenglin Scenic Area in Xingyi, where they weave through the karst peaks on motorcycles, feeling the wind roaring in their ears. Over 300 years ago, Xu Xiake, a renowned explorer and travel log writer of the Ming dynasty, praised Wanfenglin, saying, “Peaks abound across the world, but only here do they form a forest.” Today, Ivan takes to the skies on a paraglider, embracing the open air and marveling from above at the unique landscape of Wanfenglin, or Forest of Ten Thousand Peaks.

Next, Ivan and Wang visit the Xingyi Guizhou Dragon Fossil In-Situ Protection Museum to explore fossils of the Guizhou Ichthyosaur, ancient marine reptiles from over 200 million years ago. They learn about the region’s geological history from the museum guide.

Their journey concludes at Mount Fanjing, where Ivan captures breathtaking views of a starlit sky and the soft light of dawn with his camera. At the Mount Fanjing Wildlife Rescue Center, he encounters the Guizhou golden monkey, a rare and endangered species listed as China’s national first-class protected wild animal and often called the “special, and only child of the Earth,” hidden deep within the mountain’s pristine forests.

Guizhou has truly amazed me! Next time, I will come back together with my family and friends to discover more landscapes of the region,” Ivan says. This exhilarating and adventurous journey gave him a glimpse of Guizhou’s distinctive charm, leaving him eager to return for his next exploration.
