It's full speed ahead for Zhanjiang's rail hub plan

Zhanjiang, a port city in the western part of Guangdong province, is expected to become a new hub for high-speed railways after the city's high-speed railway development plan was approved by the central government last month, a senior city official said on Monday. The Zhangjiajie-Haikou high-speed railway links the major tourist cities of Zhangjiajie in Hunan province, Guilin in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, Zhanjiang in Guangdong and Haikou in Hainan province. Jiang said the Shenzhen-Zhanjiang high-speed railway and the planning of the Guangzhou-Zhanjiang one will help link Zhanjiang, a major production base in Guangdong, to major cities in the prosperous Pearl River delta. The Zhanjiang-Haikou high-speed railway will link Zhanjiang, home to the gigantic Baosteel project and the Sino-Kuwait chemical projects, to the country's largest special economic zone, playing a major role in serving the construction of the country's largest free trade zone of Hainan province.
