Guangzhou–Zhaoqing Intercity Railway, also known as GuangZhao Intercity Railway or Foshan–Zhaoqing Intercity Railway, is a high-speed railway within Guangdong province, China. It connects the provincial capital of Guangzhou with Zhaoqing, via Foshan. It is a part of the Pearl River Delta Rapid Transit network. It starts to operation on March 30, 2016.[4]

Overview

It will have a total length of 112.9 km, with a new constructed track length of 86.82 kilometres, starting from Foshan West Railway Station, travelling west through Shishan Town in Nanhai District, across Shishan Industrial Park, over the Guangzhou–Zhuhai Railway and entering Sanshui District. A bridge crosses the Bei River pushing through the Zhaoqing High-tech Industrial Development Zone. The line bends to the southwest, across Suijiang, overpasses the Guangzhou–Maoming Railway & 321 State Road, passing Dinghu District before punching in to Zhaoqing.[5][6] The total number of stations on this line will be 11, 7 of which are elevated stations, 1 underground station and 3 ground level stations. Connections will exist between this line and the Guiyang–Guangzhou High-Speed Railway and the Nanning–Guangzhou High-Speed Railway. An extension to Guangzhou South Railway Station is under construction and will complete this project as well as forming part of the Foshan–Dongguan Intercity Railway and the Guangzhou Circle Intercity Railways. Designed operational speed will be for a maximum of 200 km/h.[7]
