History[]

Construction began in 2016. During construction, this line was changed from a freight-only railway to a combined passenger and freight line.[4]

Design[]

The line is electrified and double-tracked, 88 kilometres (55 mi) long, and will have a maximum speed of 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph). It leaves the existing Guangzhou–Zhuhai railway at [1] and heads east.
