+ Environment

1 INTERCITY TRANSPORTATION

Catalyst Glass City has an Intl Airport, owned 2 runways and 2 terminals. Besides, 3 CARGO terminals and a helipad for CGPD also being deployed here.


Each Terminal’s Departure and Arrival has Expressway Link to city’s hotspots. Passengers can transform Metro, Maglev or Intercity Bus freely.
It has many hi-tech companies set their factories around the Intl Airport to expand their business.

Only by air transport is difficult to solve the huge demand for freight. Catalyst Glass also has a huge deep-water seaport to handling containers. A power plant is seated nearby to support whole city’s power.



Precisely because Catalyst Glass is a coastal city so a passenger seaport was built. Everyday visitors were delivered by cruise ships to our city.



People in neighboring cities can travel by train or High Speed Rail to Catalyst Glass. Our city has a central train station and 2 small countryside link stations. In order not to let the freight train into the city center caused by noise pollution, our city built a freight railway in rural area to avoid this (see UPDATE 1).




Of course, the road traffic is also not to be ignored. Catalyst Glass has an Intercity Buses Terminal to transport rural passengers.






2 CITY TRANSPORTATION

As a metropolitan, metro lines are essential. High density Metro Network linked the whole city together.



Besides, Maglev Monoraill is faster than metro. But it’s only 2 lines with 2 branch lines which one of them is link to passenger seaport and another is link to Olympic Centre.



In ground, BRT (Bus Rapid Transport) System has their Bus-only lanes as metro’s supplement.



The city is proud of the elevated expressway. You can drive freely cross the city. Overpasses ensured the rapid pass of the vehicles.





3 AMAZING BUILDINGS

Flourishing financial industry let the people get rich and their companies owned a lot of skyscrapers in city central and city subsidiary-centres such as Financial Street and The View. Here comes the Central Business District.



The View.



South Lake.



Financial Street.



And Wanda Plaza. Art museum and City Museum were placed here.



Here, we have to mention the building is located at the northern end of Dongting Lake: The Shard. Which is 1050 meters high, Standing on the top of the viewing platform, you can overlook the whole city.



At the foot of it is a golf course and a general aviation airport. And you can see the North Railway Station at left side of photo.



4 ENVIRONMENT

The city is not composed of reinforced concrete. Some environment friendly spots spread throughout the city.



Such as CATALYST Plaza. There's a Hilton Hotel and a sky wheel.



Dongting Lake always attract visitors. Dongting Bridge to Seaport crossed the lake.



Another place is the bay bridge at Southern of the city. Opera House and sailboat bay located in there.



In order to commemorate the city's economic take-off, we built this monument: IND Tower. It stands in the south of the harbour, watching the city step by step development.





5 AFTER DARK

Night of the city, more brilliant.





6 BIRD’S EYE VIEW

Exhausting my eyes to a thousand li further, I am ascending one more story of the tower.

最后请允许我用滑稽的语调感叹一句：
