Hangzhou–Huangshan Intercity Railway

Hangzhou–Huangshan Intercity Railway (simplified Chinese: 杭州至黄山高速铁路; traditional Chinese: 杭州至黃山高速鐵路; pinyin: hángzhōu huángshān gāosù tiělù) or Hanghuang ICR (simplified Chinese: 杭黄高铁; traditional Chinese: 杭黃高鐵; pinyin: hánghuáng gāotiě) is a dual-track, electrified, high-speed rail line under construction in eastern China between Hangzhou and Huangshan. The line will run 265 km (165 mi) through Zhejiang and southern Anhui province and will accommodate trains traveling at speeds up to 250 km/h (160 mph). Travel time from Hangzhou to Huangshan will be reduced to about one and one-half hour. The line would be the first rail link between the two cities and would bring counties in mountainous southern Anhui closer to the Yangtze River Delta region. Construction began on June 30, 2014, and may be completed by the end of 2017 or the beginning of 2018.

The high speed rail line will connect southern Anhui Province with the Hangzhou, on the eastern seaboard, via northwestern Zhejiang province. Cities and towns along route will include Hangzhou, Fuyang, Tonglu (桐庐), Xiaoshan, Jiande, Chun’an in Zhejiang, and Jixi, She County, and Huangshan in Anhui. At its eastern terminus, Hangzhou, the line will link to the high speed rail lines to Shanghai and Nanjing. At its western terminus, Huangshan, the line connects to the Hefei-Fuzhou Passenger Designated Railway Line. Scenic sites along route include Huangshan (Yellow Mountain), the ancient villages in southern Anhui, Qiandao Lake, and Hangzhou.
