GUIYANG, China, Sept. 20, 2022 /Xinhua=KYODO JBN/ --

In September 2022, the Guiyang-Nanning high-speed railway, which is scheduled

to be completed and open to traffic by 2023, made significant progress and the

preliminary track-laying work of all road sections were basically completed.

The Guiyang-Nanning high-speed railway is an important part of the main channel

of China's "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway from Baotou

city (Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region) to Haikou City (Hainan Province), with

a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour. After the whole line is completed

and opened to traffic, it will connect with Shanghai-Kunming, Chengdu-Guiyang

high-speed railways, and become a convenient and fast main passenger transport

channel from Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou and even Northwest China to Nanning,

Beibu Gulf, western Guangdong and Hainan, according to the Publicity Department

of the CPC Guiyang Municipal Committee.

Since 2012, Guizhou has put traffic first. 1,609 kilometers of high-speed

railways had been completed in Guizhou province by the end of 2021. Gui'an to

Guangzhou, Changsha, Kunming, Chongqing, Chengdu and other cities have achieved

direct high-speed rail connectivity, basically realizing high-speed rail

connectivity with surrounding provincial capitals. Guizhou has gradually formed

a railway transportation network with Gui'an as the center.

The geographical location advantage of an important land transportation hub in

southwest Guizhou has been increasingly prominent, Gui'an has become an

important high-speed railway hub in China.
