Under Xiongan New Area project, in China’s Hebei province, plans for new rail links with Beijing and Tianjin were presented. The Xiongan New Area, an economic zone announced about a month ago, is located at the center of a triangular area with Beijing, Tianjin, and Shijiazhuang, Hebei’s capital.
Within the plans, railway lines from Xiongan to Beijing and Tianjin and other three connections were revealed. The plans include two railway stations in the new area: Xiongan Railway Station and Xiongan East Railway Station.
The Beijing-Xiongan rail route will connect Xiongan New Area with Beijing’s planned second airport, 55 km to the north of Xiongan and the rail link to Tianjin will connect the area with Tianjin’s new railway station, which is also in the planning stages.
Under the area’s development plan, a major transport network should be in place in Xiongan by 2020. The area will be well connected to Beijing, Tianjin and other cities in Hebei by 2022, when the Winter Olympic Games are held, according to Xinhua.
