Guangzhou released a plan for the future of its transportation networks on January 2nd, through which emerges a new vision of how far and how quickly you will be able to travel to your chosen destinations by 2035.

According to the plan, the railway system will enable passengers to travel from the city center to the suburbs in 30 minutes and other cities of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in 60 minutes.

In addition, Guangzhou is planning 14 high speed train stations to benefit the residents living in different parts of the city and enable them to start their journey nearer to home. The 14 stations include:

City center: Guangzhou Station, Guangzhou East Station

East: Huangpu Station 黄埔站, Xintang Station 新塘站, Zengcheng Station 增城站

South: Nansha Station 南沙站,Qingsheng Station 庆盛站

Southwest: Guangzhou South Station 广州南站, Foshan West Station 佛山西站

North: Baiyun Station (Tangxi Station) 白云站(棠溪站), Guangzhou North Station, Airport Station 机场站

Northeast: Conghua Station 从化站, Knowledge City Station知识城站

Being the only high-speed rail station in Guangzhou, Guangzhou South Station handled an average number of half a million passengers every day from January to November in 2019. The rapidly increasing number of passengers has brought a series of challenges such as parking difficulties and extreme congestion, but the new stations are anticipated to ease these problems.

Furthermore, the plan also indicates that Guangzhou will see 10 inter-provincial railway routes in operation, connect with cities in more remote parts of Guangdong in just 1.5 hours and cities in the Yangtze River Delta and the Chengdu-Chongqing city cluster in a mere 5 hours.
