Cities along the Chongqing-Changsha-Xiamen High-speed Railway are actively promoting the construction of the railway line to make it enter the mid-and-long term plan of the National Railway Network, according to the Xiamen Development and Reform Commission.
The Xiamen-Changsha section of the railway will have a length of 800 kilometers and will feature a passenger-dedicated line with a speed of 250 kilometers per hour.
The feasibility study of the Fuzhou-Xiamen High-speed Railway has been approved and the key part of the project is expected to be put into construction by the end of 2015. Beside, the Hefei-Fuzhou Railway is expected to be put into service on July 1, which will further promote Xiamen's position in the national railway network.
