The Shanghai–Kunming High-Speed Railway is a high-speed railway line in the People's Republic of China. The whole line started operating 28 December 2016. It is part of the CRH's system of passenger dedicated lines, beginning in Shanghai and ending in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province. Following a fairly similar route to the older "conventional" Shanghai–Kunming Railway, the Shanghai–Kunming High-Speed Railway passes through four more provincial capitals, the cities of Hangzhou, Nanchang, Changsha, and Guiyang.
The operational sections include Shanghai-Hangzhou, Hangzhou-Changsha, Changsha-Guiyang, and Guiyang-Kunming. The last section, Guiyang-Kunming, was opened on 28 December 2016.
