The Hefei-Wuhan line will connect Hefei in Anhui province and Wuhan in Hubei province. Along with the Hefei-Ningbo line, it will shorten travel times between the Yangtze River Valley and central south China.

Passengers will be able to travel from Wuhan to Hefei in 1 hour and 55 minutes, saving 5 hours and 40 minutes.

The other route, linking Shijiazhuang in Hebei province and Taiyuan in Shanxi province, will take 59 minutes, saving 4 hours.

The line will facilitate transportation between west and north China, said Zhang Shuguang, deputy chief engineer of the ministry.
