Guangdong Province is planning a second high-speed rail route between Guangzhou and Shenzhen to connect the airports of the two cities, reducing travel time to just 20 minutes.
The construction of this second high-speed rail link between Guangzhou and Shenzhen is scheduled to begin in 2024 and be completed by 2029. Once operational, it will significantly shorten the travel distance between Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport and Shenzhen Baoan International Airport.
The new railway route will pass through Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen, with five stations along the way: Guangzhou North Railway Station, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, Yuzhu Station, Dongguan Central Station, and Shenzhen Baoan International Airport.
Notably, Dongguan Central Station will be the first high-speed railway station in the downtown area of Dongguan, Guangdong Province. This will enable travel between Dongguan and the airports in Guangzhou and Shenzhen in just over 20 minutes.
