Hubei has always been the country's key junction of land and water transport systems. It has an inland navigation route of 10,700 kilometers in which the Yangtze River, its main artery, connects Hubei with Sichuan in the west and Shanghai in the east and is navigable by 10,000-ton-class ships from Wuhan down in the high-water season. The Hanshui is its second trunk shipping line. Hubei is linked with the northern and southern regions by the Beijing-Guangzhou, Jiaozuo-Liuzhou and Xiangfan-Chongqing railways. Its provincial lines include the Hankou-Danjiang and Wuchang- Huangshi railways. Its province-wide highway network (36,000 kilometers in total length) brings most of its rural people's communes within the reach of public buses.
