The operation on Monday of the Xuzhou-Yancheng high-speed railway and the Lianyungang-Huai’an section of the Lianyungang-Zhenjiang high-speed railway has enabled more people in northern Jiangsu to travel at much easier convenience.
The D5628 bullet train pulled out of the train station in Yancheng at nine Monday morning to head for its destination the Xuzhou East Railway Station.
The operation of the high-speed railway has enabled people in the five prefectural cities of northern Jiangsu to take bullet trains to various parts of the country.
Cheng Fei, commander of the railway constructionheadquarters in North Jiangsu
I was pleased to see that
many people are taking the bullet train
and I think my efforts are rewarded
The bullet train ride from Suqian city to Xuzhou City is a matter of 40-minute ride compared with the two-hour coach service in the past.
A maximum hourly speed of 250 kilometers is designed for the Xuzhou-Yancheng high-speed railway and the Lianyungang-Huai’an section of the Lianyungang-Zhenjiang high-speed railway.

It was quite troublesome for us
to travel to Xuzhou by coach in the past
but now the bullet train is safe and comfortable
Also, it has made us convenient to travel
to any part of the country
The operation of the two high-speed railways has improved the strategic position and influence of North Jiangsu and the entire province in the Belt and Road construction, the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta.
The Xuzhou-Yancheng railway will be joined with the Beijing-Shanghai railway and Zhengzhou-Xuzhou railway at the end of this year to shorten the commute time from the north Jiangsu cities to Beijing, Zhengzhou and other large cities in the country.
In the next year, the five prefectural cities in north Jiangsu will be connected with Shanghai and Zhejiang through the high-speed rail tracks.
Shi Kaiqing, general engineer of the Yancheng Station project
The Xuzhou-Yancheng railway will be
connected with the country’s eight horizontal
and eight vertical railway networks
to ease the pressure
on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway
The operation of the Yancheng-Nantong railway next year
will cut the travel time from Yancheng to Shanghai
from the previous five hours to one hour
which will facilitate the north Jiangsu cities
to seek better integration into the Yangtze River Delta
Liang Jidong, tourism promotion director, Lianyungang Municipal Tourism Bureau
For many years we can only reach out
to tourists within 500 kilometers of Lianyungang
but the high-speed railway will
enlarge the range to 800 kms or even 1500 kms
