Construction of High-Speed Railway Section from Shenyang to Baekdusan in China

Total Length 428.2km, Completion Target 2025
Beijing to Baekdusan Takes 4 Hours 30 Minutes

[Asia Economy Beijing=Special Correspondent Jo Young-shin] A high-speed railway will be constructed from Shenyang to Baekdusan.

Once the Shenyang?Baekdusan high-speed railway section is completed, the travel time from Beijing, the capital of China, to Baekdusan will be significantly reduced.

According to Chinese media such as China Daily and Liaoning Daily on the 21st, local authorities in China recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for the 'Senbai High-Speed Railway' connecting Shenyang in Liaoning Province and Baihe near Baekdusan in Jilin Province.

The high-speed railway covers a total length of 428.2 km, passing through Fushun, Tonghua, Baishan, and the Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture from Shenyang.

The expected construction period is 4 years and 6 months, and upon completion in 2025, the high-speed train will run at a speed of 350 km/h.

In this case, it will take about an hour to reach Baekdusan from Shenyang.

Since a separate high-speed railway project is underway to reduce travel time from Beijing to Shenyang, China Daily explains that once the Senbai High-Speed Railway is also completed, it will be possible to reach Baekdusan from Beijing in about four and a half hours.

Currently, travelers mainly use a small airport located in Baekdusan or travel by vehicle passing through Yanji in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, but once the high-speed railway is completed, Baekdusan tourism is expected to become more active.

Bain Chaoru, Party Secretary of Jilin Province, said at the groundbreaking ceremony, "This is an important measure supported by the central government to promote the revitalization of the Northeast region," and evaluated that "it has great significance in leading the upgrade of the Baekdusan tourism industry."
