Beijing–Fuzhou high-speed railway


The Beijing–Fuzhou high-speed railway is a completed high-speed rail corridor, intended to connect Beijing and Fuzhou.

Route

The line shares tracks with the following railway lines:

Potential Expansion

Pending a cross-straight political arrangement, it is proposed by the Chinese government that a future extension would cross an undersea tunnel which would connect Pingtan and Hsinchu. It would share tracks with the Taiwan High Speed Rail from Hsinchu to Taipei.
Current project planning is unilateral, undertaken without the participation of Taiwan, which the People's Republic of China claims, but has never controlled. The Pingtan–Taipei portion of the railway headed to Taiwan is referred as "possible long-term future expansions" in construction documents of Fuzhou–Pingtan section.

Parallel corridors

The Chinese government has planned the Beijing–Hong Kong (Taipei) corridor as a parallel railway corridor. The corridor will pass through the cities of Hengshui, Shangqiu, Hefei and Fuzhou.

Reception

The plan has been both mocked and welcomed by different parties in Taiwan.
