Several new railways will be built during the 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016-2020第十三个五年计划), the 21st Century Business Herald(21世纪经济报) reported on Tuesday. These railways include lines from Yinchuan to Lanzhou, Baotou to Xi’an, Chongqing and Guiyang, Datong to Taiyuan and Zhanjiang, and Xiamen to Changsha and Chongqing. Six (or eight) vertical and transversal high-speed railways will be built during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the paper reported according to a railway insider. Earlier, the government planned to build four vertical and transversal lines over the medium and long period.
High-speed railway has been listed as one of the key infrastructure projects over the next five years in central and western parts of China. Northwest China’s Shaanxi province will speed up the building of high-speed railway, Xi’an subway and Weihe Plain(渭河平原) railway networks. Southwest China’s Chongqing will also add 1,000 km new rail lines, the paper said. It means that several railways including lines from Chongqing to Xiamen, Chongqing to Kunming, Chongqing to Xi’an, and Xi’an to Baotou will start building over next five years. According to Wang Junzheng, the head of Xiangyang city, central China’s Hubei province, the Xiangyang-Guilin high-speed rail line has been listed into the national 13th Five-year Plan, and will start to build over the next five years.
