霸王别姬

一 | 8月21日，在杭州大运河畔，拱墅“AI+文旅先行区”全域首发活动举行。这是继国家人工智能应用中试基地（文化旅游）落地启航后，拱墅区融入省市创新大盘、抢抓人工智能发展机遇、站上国家级赛道的关键落子。 (ECNS) -- An "Ice Silk Road" is emerging in the Arctic, offering China and Europe a shorter maritime link and, more importantly, a new option for navigating an increasingly uncertain global trading environment. Chinese container shipping company Sea Legend Line has announced plans to launch the first regular container service across the Arctic. The route is set to begin its maiden voyage on Saturday and will operate weekly, with eight voyages scheduled. The route underwent a trial voyage last autumn. In September 2025, the container ship "Istanbul Bridge" departed from Ningbo-Zhoushan Port and arrived at the Port of Felixstowe in the United Kingdom 20 days later. The new China-Europe Arctic Express will pass through the Bering Strait and sail westward along the Northeast Passage, reaching Felixstowe in the United Kingdom in just 18 to 20 days before connecting with ports in Germany, the Netherlands and Poland. By comparison, shipments from China's Ningbo-Zhoushan Port to Europe via the Suez Canal typically take at least 40 days. Rerouting around the Cape of Good Hope due to congestion or geopolitical disruptions can extend transit times to more than 50 days. The Arctic route could offer significant advantages in both speed and cost. Faster deliveries would allow Chinese manufacturers to reduce inventory levels and accelerate cash flow. Reports suggest that companies using the route could cut inventories by as much as 40%. The naturally low temperatures along the route could also make it suitable for transporting high-value, temperature-sensitive cargo, including precision instruments and new-energy batteries. Carbon emissions are expected to be nearly half those of traditional routes, according to reports. The route also bypasses major maritime chokepoints and areas affected by geopolitical tensions, including the Strait of Malacca, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. This could provide companies with an additional option for improving the stability and resilience of their supply chains. However, the route also faces significant challenges. Sea ice limits the navigable season to roughly late July through October, while port services, supplies and emergency-response infrastructure along the route remain limited. It therefore cannot yet operate year-round and is unlikely to replace the Suez Canal route in the short term. Nevertheless, the Arctic route could strengthen the resilience and diversification of China-Europe trade. Together with land-based routes such as the China-Europe Railway Express, it could give China more options for transporting goods to European markets and reduce reliance on traditional southern maritime routes. Italian financial newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore described the route, dubbed the "Ice Silk Road," as a symbolic revival of the ancient trade links between East and West. As new shipping routes emerge across the Arctic, the geography of global trade may gradually be reshaped, giving international supply chains more options in an increasingly uncertain geopolitical environment.

二 | 如何激活大运河这一流动的文化遗产，AI是当下最具想象力的方式之一。千年运河接入AI大脑“AI+文旅先行区”布局“六大行动”昨日，拱墅区《“AI＋文旅先行区”行动方案》正式发布，两大目标，剑指百亿级平台：到2026年底，形成一批可复制推广的文旅应用经验，全区Al+文旅产业集聚效应初步显现；到2028年底，建成20个高质量语料库，形成2个L1行业大模型、12个L2行业垂类模型，DeepSeek等国产大模型在文旅领域实现规模化应用，孵化一批具有国际影响力的“AI+文旅”示范项目，确立拱墅区在全国数字文旅领域的引领地位。“AI+文旅先行区”全域首发目标有了，具体该怎么干？循着“技术底座”到“产业生态”的路径，未来三年，拱墅将开展中试基地引领、文商旅体融合、产业联盟聚力、政策创新赋能、文化出海扬帆、文创产品精品六大行动。

三 | 中试基地引领行动：以国家人工智能应用中试基地（文化旅游）为核心引擎，拱墅将搭建算力支撑、数据汇聚、模型研发、场景验证一体化综合服务平台，打造集技术攻关、成果转化、产业孵化于一体的“Al+文旅”创新策源地。文商旅体融合行动：通过文商旅体融合，让AI在真实场景中“跑起来”，建立文博文旅场景开放清单，依托大运河文化带，分批发布场景需求。产业联盟聚力行动：集结核心企业搭建全链条平台，构建“引进来+走出去”双向交流体系，建立常态化供需对接机制，推动产业生态持续繁荣。政策创新赋能行动：拱墅拿出“真金白银”给企业和人才：推出“算力券+Token券”组合支持，覆盖大模型训练到应用落地全流程；通过“大运英才”等政策大力引进高层次人才。文化出海扬帆行动：依托浙版传媒BookDNA和小五兄弟出海通等平台，强化大运河文化海外传播与数字资产保护，助力文化“新三样”高水平走出去。文创产品精品行动：围绕“运（运济千年）、河（河晏盛景）、风（风物承泽）”三大主题，推出“来杭州走大运”系列伴手礼，深化“拱宸有礼”品牌建设。“AI+文旅先行区”全域首发场景需求找到“解题人”让AI跑进文旅，场景落地是检验“AI+文旅”的试金石。

四 | 昨日，大运河畔一场“AI+文旅先行区”全域首发活动，围绕文旅新命题的“赋能榜”“赛博榜”“沉浸榜”三榜齐发，三家科创企业现场揭榜，让第一批“AI+文旅”场景需求，有了“解题人”。

五 | 杭州龙象文化创意有限公司负责人张健表示：“我们计划与拱墅区联合打造沉浸式文旅项目，依托《剑来》原著小说内容、动画、电视剧、电影、游戏等美术资产，结合拱墅文旅资源，打造聚集式的 ‘剑来’主题游览动线。也计划将‘剑来’沉浸式VR/MR大空间项目落地拱墅，实现‘人在剧中走’的沉浸式叙事体验。

六 | ”建设“Al+文旅先行区”的底气，源于技术实力、文化家底与产业基础的同频共振。这里既是DeepSeek总部所在地，也是大运河文化精华汇聚之地，更是文创产业高地。据了解，拱墅全区现有23个文创园区（街区），集聚规上文化企业281家、规上文化“新三样”企业42家。2026年上半年，全区规上文化企业营收216.1亿元、增长18.2%。拱墅区相关负责人表示，未来，拱墅区将通过“AI+文旅先行区”建设，以AI为“连接器”和“放大器”，加速汇聚全球高端要素，构建“算力+数据+模型+场景”的完整生态，为杭州打造“人工智能创新发展第一城”贡献力量。
