Shanghai–Kunming high-speed railway
Railway line / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shanghai–Kunming high-speed railway is a high-speed railway line. It was built in stages and completed on 28 December 2016.[1] It is part of the CRH's system of passenger-dedicated lines, beginning in Shanghai and ending in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province. Following a fairly similar route to the older "conventional" Shanghai–Kunming Railway, the Shanghai–Kunming high-speed railway passes through four more provincial capitals, the cities of Hangzhou, Nanchang, Changsha, and Guiyang.[2]
