[CN] 650 km/h Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong high-speed maglev

[latestnews]

The city of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong are planning a high-speed maglev train route with designed speed of 650 km per hour, said an expert at a forum held in Guanghzou, Guangdong province, on Aug 5.

The maglev train plan aims to build a 30-minute traffic circle among the three cities, and a 40-minute one among other cities of the Greater Bay Area, said Chen Xiangsheng, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering and dean of the College of Civil and Transportation Engineering at Shenzhen University, Guangdong province, Guangzhou Daily reported on Monday.

The passenger flow density of Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong will reach 260 million people by 2035, thus a new high-speed project is a necessity to this area, Chen said.

The academician introduced four options for the Greater Bay Area maglev line, with departure stations at Guangzhou including the Guangzhoudong Railway Station, Zhujiang New Town Station, and Guangzhou Railway Station.

Option one includes stopovers at Guangzhoudong Railway Station, Dongguan Guancheng, and Shenzhen Honey Lake, which is the favorable option among the four candidates, he said, adding that all four options are reserved for northern extension to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport and southern extension to Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Besides Guangzhou and Shenzhen, other cities including Shanghai and Hangzhou, Chengdu and Chongqing are also planning for maglev lines, Chen said.

8月5日，广州举行了第三十六期“花城院士讲坛”。现场，中国工程院院士、俄罗斯工程院外籍院士、北京交通大学双聘院士、深圳大学土木与交通工程学院院长陈湘生分享了广深港磁悬浮线路的设计方案。这条线路设计时速达650公里，将成为广东湾区建设的重要交通支撑。目前，共有4个备选方案，其中方案一被认为是优选方案。该方案是东线经香蜜湖方案，即从广州东站出发，经过东莞莞城，最终抵达深圳香蜜湖。另外三个备选方案分别是东线经前海方案、西线经珠江新城方案和西线经广州站方案。

陈湘生院士指出，为了实现经济高质量发展和建设世界一流湾区的目标，必须大力推进智慧交通发展，提供便捷、高效、安全、经济的交通出行方式，以支撑广东湾区的建设。磁悬浮线路作为一种先进的交通方式，具有速度快、噪音低、能耗少等优点，因此被选为广深港磁悬浮线路的设计方案。

On August 5, the 36th "Huacheng Academician Forum" was held in Guangzhou. Chen Xiangsheng, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, foreign academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering, double-appointed academician of Beijing Jiaotong University and dean of the School of Civil and Transportation Engineering of Shenzhen University, presented the design of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Maglev Line. The line is designed to reach a speed of 650 kilometers per hour and will be an important transportation support for the construction of the Guangdong Bay Area. Currently, there are four alternatives, of which Option 1 is considered the preferred option. It is the East Line via Xiangmihu program, which means it starts from Guangzhou East Railway Station, passes through Dongguan Guancheng, and finally arrives at Shenzhen Xiangmihu. The other three alternatives are the East Line via Qianhai route, the West Line via Zhujiang New City route, and the West Line via Guangzhou Railway Station route.

Academician Chen Xiangsheng pointed out that in order to realize the goal of high-quality economic development and the construction of a world-class Bay Area, it is necessary to vigorously promote the development of intelligent transportation and provide convenient, efficient, safe and economical means of transportation and travel to support the construction of the Guangdong Bay Area. As an advanced mode of transportation with the advantages of high speed, low noise and low energy consumption, maglev was chosen as the design option for the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong maglev line.
