The Beijing–Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong High-Speed Line or Jingguangshengang High-Speed Railway from its Chinese name (simplified Chinese: 京广深港高速铁路; traditional Chinese: 京廣深港高速鐵路) is a high-speed railway of the CRH passenger service, ultimately connecting Beijing West Railway Station and West Kowloon Station in Hongkong. When finished, it will be 2230 km long. The existing, conventional Jingguang railway runs largely parallel to the line.
Construction was started in 2005, and as of 2012, the Wuhan–Guangzhou section was opened in December 2009, the Guangzhou–Shenzhen section was opened in December 2011, the Zhengzhou–Wuhan section was opened in September 2012, the Beijing–Zhengzhou section was opened on December 26, 2012, and the 36-km Shenzhen–Hong Kong section will be opened in 2015.
Rising 148 feet high above the surroundings, the structure's roof line acts as dynamic-shaped pedestrian trails alongside green spaces. This park/terminal hybrid fabricates a promised view of the future.
