The Beijing–Hong Kong high-speed railway or Jinggang high-speed railway from its Chinese name is a
Futian railway station in Shenzhen, Guangdong (from there onwards to cross the border to West Kowloon station in Kowloon, Hong Kong through the XRL). The existing, conventional Jingjiu railway
runs largely parallel to the line.
The line forms part of the Beijing–Hong Kong (Taipei) corridor, based on the "Eight Verticals and Eight Horizontals" railway master plan announced in 2016. Note that it goes through Shandong, Anhui, Jiangxi where Beijing–Guangzhou high-speed railway does not. The relationship between the two is much like the conventional Beijing–Kowloon railway and Beijing–Guangzhou railway, parallel yet different.
History
