Attention, passengers! Up ahead is the Yangshan Deep-Water Harbor Project, currently under construction. The Yangshan Deep-Water Harbor is situated on Daxiaoyang Mountain, 27.5 kilometers to Shanghai's southeast. It's the closest place to major international air routes. It is a major project being built for the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai. The first phase of construction on the Yangshan Deep-Water Harbor has been going on for more than half a year already. There is no doubt that it will become a world-class harbor. But we can't visit it in person right now...
I'm sorry, Miss, can I interrupt for a bit? I know that the Yangshan Deep-Water Harbor has always been the focus of a lot of international and domestic attention. But why is the government investing so much energy in this project? Can you give us some details?
Sure. As far as I know, for Shanghai to be a world-class metropolis, the construction goal of the city is to become an international economic, financial, trade and shipping center. The Yangshan Deep Water Harbor is a key element in creating a shipping center. Its construction will help stimulate the development of our entire city. It will help advance all aspects of society. Of course, this includes ordinary people's daily lives.
