The route stretches southeastward along the eastern part of Quanzhou City to cross over Jinjiang River at Chenzhou, 6 KM in the southeast suburbs of Quanzhou and goes along the northwest part of Jinjiang City, Anhai Town and Shuitou Town. After going through the border between Cizao Town and the southeast fringe of Guangqiao l'own and passing by Shuitou Town, the route turns westwards to go along the northern fringe nf 'Maxiang Town and the southern part of Tong'an Cnunty to end up at Guanlintou in the northwest of Xinglin District of Xiamen City, connecting with National Highway No. 319 there. If it 'oes 3 KM further northwestward along NationaJ Highway Nra. 319. it wilJ iiitersect National Highway No. 324. In the expressway route selecting, the principles have been observed to keep the' alignment near the cities and towns instead of going through them and the efforts have been made to ensure that the alignment will be located near the hills so as tn acquire less fertile farmland and demolish few dwelling buildings. Although the cnnstruction nf the expressway requires much land, yet there is relatively less fertile farmland to be acquired and a small quantity of demolition and resettlement so far as the total land acquired is concerned. (Details can be seen in the map attached.) Quanzhou and Kiamen are the areas where economy is well developed in Fujian Province. In the road influence area. Lhere are 7 cities and couinties Miamen prnper,.Tong'an County. 'Nan'an County, 'Jinjiang City,/Quanzhou proper. Shishi City and.Hui'an County) with a land area-accounting for 4.7% of the total Iatlvc areas of Fujian province and a population accounting for 17.54% of the total. However, its gross oUtptit value of indtistry and agriculture accounts for 23.5% of the province( calculated on tk'! basis of constant price of 1990). What's m're, this area is famous homerc.-&n of overseas Chinese. In Taiwan. there are 9 million immigrates, accounting 44% of .;f; vopulation nr Taiw.ln and 5 million overseas Chinese; among whom 660.000 are ii-:Tng in Hongkong and Macao. accounting for 1/;0 of the tntal overseAR Chinese in the country and 1/2 of the province respectively. Suich an advantage gives an impetus to the rapid development nf individual proprietorships. joint-ventures and rura; alnterprises. At present, .-the agricut I tiral econr3my in the area has been developed --from single product economv intoj tjie industrial structture of diversifiecd economy. including agrictultture. industry. btuilding b'usiness, transport industry and commerce. More and more peasants become the labourers, engaging in both agriculture and industry. More and morc self-empinyed persrns appear who abandoned farming for Du.ciness. atep by step. tnese farmers are leaving their 0.45 mu of *farmland on -average and getting fairly well-off. 1.2.2 The Incidence of Land Acquisition - (1) the expressway main line: K0+000--Kli*950 and K15+700-- 2 . .7. ,.,.. . -. o ~ ~ -j ._-.s ~~aatW W w W~~~. wrr.1~~~~.  K81+441; Trial Section (constructed in advance): K12+950--K15+700) (2) A Class I. link road between Niushan at Wuling and Shedian in JinJiang: KO+000--K6+300 (3) Six interchanges and ramps at Xifu, Wuling Niushan, Puli, Luntou, Hou'an and Tiancuo.
