With a design speed of 350 km/h, the railway is a major part of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area's high-speed transportation network.

The project will accelerate the integration of Shanwei into Guangzhou’s “One-hour economic and living circle”, as well as accelerate the integration of Eastern Guangdong into the whole Greater Bay Area, and boost rural revitalization.
