During his inspection tour to Central China's Hunan province from Nov. 3 to 5, Xi inspected the Aizhai suspension bridge, the highest of its kind, in Jishou.

Xi said it was important for poverty-hit areas to improve their transportation conditions and infrastructure in order to shake off poverty and set out on a road to prosperity. Governments at all levels should increase support in this regard.
