A New Chapter in Shanshan High-Speed Rail(汕汕高铁)
Looking back to 2019, the Shanshan High-Speed Rail project was launched as an eye-catching initiative. Today, it has entered a significant phase of joint testing and commissioning.
Perfect Fusion of Speed and Technology
This high-speed rail line is not just a symbol of China’s high-speed rail development with its stunning speed of 350 km/h but also represents the pinnacle of technology and innovation.
Unique Engineering Structure
The total length of the Shanshan High-Speed Rail is 162.3 kilometers, of which the section from Shanwei to Shantou South stretches for 142.5 kilometers. A remarkable 84.9% of this route consists of bridges and tunnels, showcasing the outstanding wisdom and craftsmanship of engineers.
Strategic Layout of Stations
There are six stations along the line, five of which are newly built. These stations not only facilitate public travel but also strengthen the close connections between cities.
New Connection between Shanwei and Shantou
Shanwei and Shantou, two distinct coastal cities, are now closer than ever thanks to the high-speed rail.
Shortening Distances Between Cities
For residents of Foshan, the distance to Shanwei and Shantou is no longer a barrier. The high-speed rail offers them new pathways for travel and family reunions.
Strategic Importance of Shanshan High-Speed Rail
The Shanshan High-Speed Rail is a key part of the Ningbo to Guangzhou railway connection and an integral component of the “Belt and Road” Maritime Silk Road, with significant strategic value.
The Traffic Hub of Eastern Guangdong
This high-speed rail line is the centerpiece of the railway network in Eastern Guangdong, strengthening the link between Eastern Guangdong and the Pearl River Delta.
New Opportunities for Economy and Development
The high-speed rail brings not only speed but also unprecedented opportunities for cooperation, industrial evolution, and rural revitalization between regions.
Interaction Between Pearl River Delta and Eastern Guangdong
The high-speed rail has made the interaction between the Pearl River Delta and Eastern Guangdong more fluid, with increasingly significant synergistic benefits.
Comprehensive Impact of Shanshan High-Speed Rail
The completion of the Shanshan High-Speed Rail will further strengthen the connections between Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang provinces, promoting economic development in 15 cities.
A New Link Between Guangzhou and Shantou
The combination of the Shanshan High-Speed Rail and the Guangshan Line has reduced the travel time from Guangzhou to Shantou to just 1.5 hours, providing a convenient channel for business and family visits.
The Nation’s Firm Commitment
An investment of 11.38 billion reflects the nation’s firm commitment to the development of railway transportation, enhancing the high-speed rail’s central role in the national transportation network.
The Shanshan High-Speed Rail not only rewrites the transportation landscape of Guangdong but also contributes significantly to the expansion of the national railway network. We look forward to more brilliance and convenience it will bring in the future.
