Guangzhou to Qingyuan
Starting at Guangzhou Railway Station, a high-speed railway will be built alongside the Beijing–Guangzhou Railway within the city to Guangzhou North Railway Station. From there to Qingyuan Railway Station, this railway will run alongside the Wuhan–Guangzhou High-Speed Railway with separate platforms for each railway and 3 new regional stations being built in between these stations. After crossing the Bei River this railway will branch off to the west, serving two new stations in Qingyuan.
