Welcome to the Website for the Hong Kong Section of Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link.

 

The Hong Kong Section of Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link (XRL) project is important to the future development of Hong Kong at both the strategic and local levels. The project includes:

(1) West Kowloon Terminus;
(2) Approximately 26km long tunnel;
(3) Emergency rescue station and stabling sidings at Shek Kong; and
(4) Associated ventilation buildings, emergency access point and the associated ventilation shafts and adits/accesses for the tunnel.

 

The Hong Kong Section of XRL will connect Hong Kong with the 16,000km "four vertical and four horizontal corridors" national high-speed rail network and will materialize the idea of one hour living cycle between Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta region. West Kowloon Terminus is in urban area with dense population and economic activities and the convenient transport facilities thereat will bring visitors to their destinations easily. Moreover, full length of the XRL alignment in tunnel can minimize the impact to the environment and local communities.
