As part of the high-speed railway between Longyan city of Fujian province and Longchuan in Guangdong, the Meizhou-Longchuan line spans 98 kilometers and features a design speed of 350 km/h. This section includes four stations: Meizhou West, Xingning South, Wuhua, and Longchuan West, with Xingning South and Wuhua stations being newly constructed.

With the opening of the Meizhou-Longchuan line, passengers can reach Longchuan from Meizhou in about 29 minutes, saving over an hour compared to a trip by normal train. Additionally, travel by high-speed trains from Meizhou West to Guangzhou East and Shenzhen North will take only 107 minutes and 96 minutes, respectively. That cuts the travel time from Meizhou to cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to around two hours.
