High Speed Rail gets new route to reach six new destinations including Zhangjiajie

The High Speed Rail (Hong Kong Section), starting from June 15, will introduce a new long-haul route to Hunan Province, adding six new destinations that directly connect to popular tourist destinations such as Zhangjiajie and Fenghuanggucheng.

The new Zhangjiajiexi route will include six new destinations: Shaoyang, Huaihuanan, Dongkou, Fenghuanggucheng, Jishoudong and Zhangjiajiexi, providing one pair of southbound and northbound trains every day.

With the six new additions, the High Speed Rail now provide direct access to a total of 78 destinations.

The MTR Corporation said the new route provides access to a number of popular tourist spots, and further promotes personnel exchanges between the two places for both business and tourism purposes.

Jeny Yeung, Managing Director of the railway firm, said with Hunan experiencing rapid economic growth in recent years, the newly added route is expected to complement the existing Changshanan route well, adding impetus to the economic and tourism development of the two places.
