ABSTRACT: Based on micro-blog
big data, this article will conduct an analysis on the follow-up data of every
prefecture-level city’s micro-blog data and these cities all lie along the
Beijing-Guangzhou High-Speed Railway. Then we found that the asymmetry lied in
the connection between these cities and there was a provincial-level barrier
among them. By comparing the situation before and after the operation of high-speed
railway, we realize that this kind of provincial-level barrier still exists. Meanwhile,
as the Beijing-Guangzhou High-Speed railway is put into operation and the
connection among the cities along the railway has been strengthened, the
connection presents the tendency of decentralization.
