to traffic at about 9 o’clock on December 6, 2021. Hence, the travel
time between Zhangjiajie and Changsha is shortened to 2.5 hours. Construction of Zhangjihuai High-speed Railway began in December 2016.
It is a regional link in China’s "eight vertical and eight horizontal"
high-speed rail network. It starts from western Hunan, linking with
Qianjiang-Zhangjiajie High-speed Railway in the north and
Shanghai-Kunming High-speed and Huaihua-Shaoyang-Hengyang railways in
the south. Zhangjihuai High-speed Railway was funded by Hunan government and the
China State Railway Group Co., Ltd. With a total investment of 37.65
billion yuan, the 245-kilometer line is designed for trains running at
up to 350 kilometers per hour. There are seven passenger train stations
along the line –Zhangjiajie West; Furong Town; Guzhang West; Jishou
East; Fenghuang Ancient Town; Mayang West; and, Huaihua South stations.
Sixteen pairs of trains will be operated on the line, with a speed of
300 km per hour in the initial stage. As a part of Hunan’s ten major infrastructure projects, Zhangjihuai
High-speed Railway will facilitate trips for the residents along the
line, and promote rural revitalization. It is of great significance for
Hunan’s participation in the national Belt and Road Initiative,
developing the Yangtze River Economic Belt Development, and accelerating
construction of a new modern socialist Hunan. The railway connects several well-known scenic areas, such as
Wulingyuan, Tianmen Mountain, Furong Town, Aizhai Grand Bridge, and
Fenghuang Ancient Town, and is thus reputed as the “most beautiful
high-speed railway in western Hunan”. It will bring more travelers to
western Hunan, and inject new vitality into the tourism of western Hunan
and even the whole province. Translator: Pang Yuehui
