Everything you need to know about the high-speed rail
Running from West Kowloon to Shenzhen and Guangzhou, the new rail link offers a super-fast connection between Hong Kong and multiple destinations on the Mainland.
What is the high-speed rail?
Commencing operation in 2018, this new 26km high-speed train links Hong Kong West Kowloon Station to Shenzhen. The high-speed rail runs underground through dedicated tunnels, passing under Yau Tsim Mong, Sham Shui Po, Kwai Tsing, Tsuen Wan and Yuen Long. It’s the fastest option for land-based, cross-border transport between Hong Kong and the Mainland.
It also connects directly with China’s high-speed rail network in Shenzhen, linking the SAR with six short-haul destinations in the Guangzhou-Shenzhen section and several stations throughout Mainland China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Harbin, Kunming and Urumqi. Combined, the Hong Kong and China rail links form the largest high-speed rail network in the world.
So how fast does it go?
Travelling at 200km/h, the high-speed rail takes just 48 minutes to go from Hong Kong West Kowloon Station to Guangzhou.
