Nanning–Kunming High-Speed Railway (formerly known as the Yunnan-Guangxi High-Speed Railway[1]) is a high-speed railway in China's Yunnan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region that is partially opened and under construction. It connects the Guangxi capital of Nanning with the Yunnan capital city of Kunming. It will have a total length of 715.8 kilometres of electrified double-track railways, built to the Grade 1 standard. Positioned as part of China's "long-term railway network plan", to improve the layout and the development of South-Western China with critical infrastructure. It will be Yunnan Province's first high-speed transport corridor to the sea. With future Pan-Asian railways to Laos, Thailand and Vietnam planned or under construction, this railway will be seen as a crucial link between the economic powerhouse of the Pearl River Delta Economic Zone and Indochina under the Chinese One Belt-One Road policies.
