Beijing-Kunming High Speed Railway 京昆高铁

The Beijing-Kunming High-Speed Railway, commonly known as the Jingkun High-Speed Railway, starts in Beijing and passes through cities such as Xi’an, Chengdu, Chongqing, and finally ends in Kunming. The main line and branches of the Jingkun High-Speed Railway include the Jingxiong Intercity Railway (part of the Beijing-Hong Kong-Taiwan High-Speed Railway to Xiong’an), the Xinxiong High-Speed Railway, the Taiyuan-Yan’an High-Speed Railway, the Xi’an-Yan’an High-Speed Railway, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway, the Datong-Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway, the Datong-Xi’an High-Speed Railway, the West Xi’an-Chengdu High-Speed Railway (including the segment through Chongqing), and the Chengdu-Kunming High-Speed Railway. Once the entire Jingkun High-Speed Railway is completed and operational, a major inter-regional corridor will be formed between Beijing, the Guanzhong Plain, and the southwestern region, reducing the high-speed rail travel time from Kunming to Beijing to within 10 hours.

The Jingkun High-Speed Railway starts in Beijing and passes through places such as Taiyuan, Xi’an, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Kunming. The main line and its branches consist of the Jingxiong High-Speed Railway (Beijing to Xiong’an), the Xinxiong High-Speed Railway (Xiong’an to Xinzhou), the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway (Beijing to Zhangjiakou), the Datong-Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway (Zhangjiakou to Datong), the Datong-Xi’an High-Speed Railway (Datong to Xi’an), the Taiyuan-Yan’an High-Speed Railway (Taiyuan to Yan’an), the Xi’an-Yan’an High-Speed Railway (Xi’an to Yan’an), the Xi’an-Chengdu High-Speed Railway (Xi’an to Chengdu), the Chengdu-Chongqing High-Speed Railway (Chengdu to Chongqing), the Xi’an-Chongqing High-Speed Railway (Xi’an to Chongqing), the Chongqing-Kunming High-Speed Railway (Chongqing to Kunming), and the Chengdu-Kunming High-Speed Railway (Chengdu to Kunming). It ultimately reaches Kunming, connecting the North China and Southwestern regions and traversing through city clusters like Jingjinji (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei), Guanzhong, Chengyu (Chengdu-Chongqing), and Central Yunnan. In the future, it is planned to extend to Southeast Asia, passing through Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and finally reaching Singapore. The Jingkun High-Speed Railway is a strategic national decision aimed at developing the border regions of Yunnan, transforming the long-standing backward transportation situation in the area, connecting the Guanzhong Plain, promoting interconnectivity between the southwestern region and other areas, and accelerating the achievement of poverty alleviation goals.

京昆高铁

京昆高速铁路（Beijing-Kunming High-Speed Railway），简称京昆高铁。京昆高速铁路北起北京，途经西安、成都、重庆等地，最终止于昆明。京昆高铁主线和支线的组成有:京雄城际铁路(京港台高铁京雄段)、忻雄高铁、太延高铁、西延高铁、京张高铁、大张高铁、大西高铁、西成(渝)高铁、蓉(渝)昆高铁。京昆高铁全线建成通车后，北京、关中平原与西南地区的区际间大通道形成，届时昆明到北京的高铁运行时间将缩短至10小时之内。 京昆高铁北起北京，途径太原、西安、成都、重庆、昆明等地，主线和支线由京雄高铁(北京~雄安)、忻雄高铁(雄安~忻州)、京张高铁(北京~张家口)、大张高铁(张家口~大同)、大西高铁(大同~西安)、太延高铁(太原~延安)、西延高铁(西安~延安)、西成高铁(西安~成都)、成渝高铁(成都~重庆)、西渝高铁(西安~重庆)、渝昆高铁(重庆~昆明)和成昆高铁(成都~昆明)等部分组成，最终到达昆明，连接华北、西南地区，贯通京津冀、关中、成渝、滇中等城市群 (未来将连接东南亚高铁依次经由越南、柬埔寨、泰国、马来西亚，抵达新加坡)。京昆高铁通道是基于国家战略作出的决策，着力发展滇边地区，改变其长期落后的交通状态，同时联系关中平原，促进西南地区与各地的互联互通，加速脱贫攻坚的目标实现。
