Railway stops in city

The almost 300-kilometer railway that will link Hangzhou and Huangshan, a tourist city at the foot of the Yellow Mountain in neighboring Anhui Province, will have six stations in Hangzhou area.

The Hanghuang High-Speed Railway will run 185 kilometers across the city and its outlying districts and have six stations named Hangzhou East, Hangzhou South, Fuyang, Tonglu, Jiande East and Chun’an.

The railway will have four stations in Anhui, named Sanyang, Jixi North, Shexian North and Huangshan North. After it starts service in 2018, Hangzhou travelers can reach the Yellow Mountain in 90 minutes. The new rail will also help boost economic development along the route.

The 33.8-billion-yuan (US$5.8 billion) high-speed rail will shorten trips from Shanghai, Ningbo and Nanjing to the Yellow Mountain, Qiandao Lake and Fuchun River.

Hangzhou Railway Investment Group, Hangzhou Xiaoshan Transport Investment Group and four other companies formed a consortium to manage the railway and will pool 2.7 billion yuan as capital funds.
