The highly anticipated High Speed Rail System connecting Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong will launch on September 23.
The 142km track will connect the city to 44 stations across Mainland China, including six short-haul and 38 long-haul stations and is expected to reduce travel time by approximately 60 percent.
The Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong High Speed Rail is approximately 26km and runs along a dedicated underground rail corridor from a new terminus at West Kowloon to the boundary near Lok Ma Chau, where it connects with the Mainland section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong High Speed Rail.
The West Kowloon Station will also debut on September 23, and will be the main Hong Kong hub for the new rail network. Once completed, the station will be one of the largest underground high speed rail stations in the world, and features a pedestrian skywalk with views of Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong skyline.
