SMM News: Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission:

You have been informed of the documents such as "request for submission of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area (Intercity) Railway Construction Plan" (submitted for review) (Guangdong Development and Reform Traffic (2019)) and other documents. After study, the reply is as follows:

First, in order to improve the quality of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area's intercity transport supply and serve Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area's construction, it is agreed to implement a number of intercity railway projects in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area in an orderly manner.

II. Planning plan

(1) Planning objectives.

In accordance with the principles of scientific layout, overall planning, innovation and development, support and guidance, and on the basis of continuing to implement and optimize the original inter-city rail transit network planning in the Pearl River Delta region, we will further strengthen the construction of inter-city railways, do a good job in the integration and convergence of rail networks such as high-speed railway, general speed railway, and urban (suburban) railway in the Greater Bay area, and form a multi-level railway network with "axle support and polar radiation". We will build a transportation circle with one hour access between major cities in the Great Bay area, two hours from major cities to inland cities in Guangdong Province, and three hours from major cities to neighboring provincial capitals, so as to create a "Great Bay area on the track". Improve the modern comprehensive transportation system. In the near future, by 2025, the mileage of railway network operation and construction in the Greater Bay area will reach 4700 km, fully covering the central cities and node cities of the Greater Bay area and key metropolitan areas such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The mileage of railway network operation and construction in the Greater Bay area will reach 5700 km, covering cities at or above the county level.

(2) recent construction arrangements.

Thirteen inter-city railways and five hub projects are planned and built, with a total mileage of about 775 km (see Annex 1), forming an inter-city railway network with strengthened main axis, regional coverage and hub connection. Among them, before 2022, the construction of six intercity railway projects from Shenzhen Airport to Daya Bay from Shenzhen Airport to Pingshan, Guangqing Intercity North extension Line and three hub projects such as Guangzhou East Railway Station reconstruction project were launched, with a planned construction mileage of 337 km. After the implementation of the relevant construction conditions, the implementation of seven intercity railway projects from Tangxia to Longgang, Changping to Longhua and two hub projects such as Guangzhou Station renovation project will be carried out in an orderly manner, with a planned construction mileage of 438 km.

(3) layout and convergence plan of key hubs.

Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area inter-city railway, high-speed railway and trunk railway are interconnected through hub transfer, and connect with metropolitan (suburban) railway and urban rail transit at hub stations. The main stations of Guangzhou hub are connected by inter-city railway ring line and urban rail transit, while the other stations in the hub are connected by urban rail transit. 1. Overall layout of passenger transport hub. We will build a railway passenger transport hub system with distinct layers, reasonable division of labor and efficient connection in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, so as to promote the convenient connection and transfer of external traffic, intercity traffic and urban traffic. The layout of Guangzhou hub is mainly composed of Guangzhou, Guangzhou East, Guangzhou South, Foshan, Guangzhou Baiyun (Tangxi) Station, and Guangzhou North, Nansha and Xintang stations as the auxiliary "five main and three Auxiliary" hubs. The layout of Shenzhen hub is mainly composed of Shenzhen North, Xili and Shenzhen stations, and the "three main and four auxiliary" hubs supplemented by Shenzhen East, Futian, Shenzhen Airport and Shenzhen Pingshan Station. The layout of Zhuxi region is mainly composed of Jiangmen, Zhuhai Hezhou and Zhongshan North Station, and the "three main and four Auxiliary" hubs supplemented by Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Pengjiang and Hengqin stations. In addition, the layout of Yuzhu, Dongguan West, Huizhou, Zhaoqing East, the Pearl River Delta New Airport Station and other hub stations.

two。 Key hub convergence plan. According to the idea of the convenient connection of the inter-city railway into the central urban area and the trunk railway, and combined with the functional positioning and capacity of the relevant main and auxiliary hub stations of the key hub, the connection scheme of the key hub station line is determined (see Annex 2). Among them, Zhuhai Hezhou Station and Zhaoqing East Station connect the recently implemented Zhuhai-Zhaoqing high-speed railway, and the Pearl River Delta Airport Station connects the recently implemented Nanning-Yulin-Guangzhan railway link.

3. Link up with Hong Kong and Macao ports. Shenzhen and the Hong Kong Special Administrative region have recently achieved interconnection through the existing Beijing-Kowloon Railway and the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong high-speed railway. Zhuhai and the Macao Special Administrative region realize the connection of high-speed rail, intercity railway and Macao light rail at Zhuhai Station and Hengqin Station, and plan the connection between ports and intercity railway stations. Support the connection between the new Guangdong-Macao corridor (Qingmao Port) and the Guangzhou-Zhuhai intercity railway within the Zhuhai station, so as to promote Macao's integration into the national railway network.

III. Project investment estimation and financing plan

The recent construction project has a total investment of about 474.1 billion yuan, with a capital ratio of 50% or 237.1 billion yuan, funded by Guangdong Province and local governments along the project, and actively attract social capital participation in accordance with the principle of marketization. Non-capital funds are settled through bank loans and other means.
