The Shanghai–Hangzhou railway, also known as the Huhang railway (simplified Chinese: 沪杭铁路; traditional Chinese: 滬杭鐵路; pinyin: hùháng tiělù), is a double-track railroad in eastern China between Shanghai and Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province. Its name in Chinese, the Huhang Line, is named after the railway's two terminal cities: Shanghai, whose Chinese character abbreviation is hu, and Hangzhou. The line is 200 km (124 mi) long and was built from 1906 to 1909.[1] Cities along the route include Shanghai, Jiaxing and Hangzhou. The line now forms part of the Shanghai–Kunming railway.
