Three new high-speed rail stations will be added along two major lines: the Hangzhou Airport High-Speed Railway and the Shanghai-Hangzhou High-Speed Railway. Let's take a look together.

Hangzhou Airport High-Speed Railway — Project Overview

Project route: The Hangzhou Airport High-Speed Railway starts from Tongxiang Station, passes through Tongxiang City and Haining City in Jiaxing City, crosses the Qiantang River and heads south, passes through Qiantang District and Xiaoshan District in Hangzhou City, and Keqiao District in Shaoxing City, finally arriving at Shaoxing North Station.

Construction scale: The newly built main line is approximately 72 kilometers long, of which the Tongxiang to Qiantang section is about 34 kilometers with a designed speed of 350 km/h, and the Qiantang to Shaoxing section is about 38 kilometers with a designed speed of 250 km/h. A connecting line from Hangzhou South Station to Xiaoshan Airport Station of approximately 13 kilometers is also planned, with a designed speed of 160 km/h.

Planned construction period: The project is planned to have a construction period of 4 years.

Station layout: The entire line includes stations at Tongxiang, Haining Guanchao, Qiantang, Xiaoshan Airport, and Shaoxing North, among which Haining Guanchao, Qiantang, and Xiaoshan Airport are newly built stations.

Hangzhou Qiantang Hub

Qiantang Station is located in Fenglou Village, Xinwan Street, Qiantang District, Hangzhou. It is an important component of the Hangzhou Airport High-Speed Railway, the future "origin point" of the Qiantang High-Speed Rail New City area, and a key node in the multi-level rail transit network of the Yangtze River Delta.

The total construction area of Qiantang Station's station building and related works is approximately 280,000 square meters, of which the railway station building is about 70,000 square meters and the comprehensive supporting works are about 210,000 square meters.

Qiantang Station is an elevated station built above the tracks, with a station yard scale of 6 platforms and 11 tracks, capable of originating and terminating services. Passenger flow follows an "up-in, down-out" streamline mode.

The hub will introduce Metro Line 8 and Line 19 (planned), bringing together high-speed rail, metro, and other multi-level transportation networks to form a well-connected transportation hub.

Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport Station

The new Xiaoshan Airport Station is located in Guali Town, Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou. It is situated on the south side of the comprehensive transportation center reserved in the airport's overall construction plan, between Terminal 2 buildings.

The station is an underground station, implemented with a plan of 2 platforms and 4 tracks (including 2 main line tracks), with an effective length of 650 meters for arrival and departure tracks.

The station building is a side-type underground two-story structure, with the first underground floor serving as the station hall level and the second underground floor as the platform level. There are 10 ventilation shafts, entrances and exits, and evacuation openings at ground level, with a total construction area of 56,000 square meters and a maximum gathering capacity of 1,000 people.

The connecting line from Hangzhou South to Xiaoshan Airport toward the Taizhou direction will be implemented simultaneously.

New Shanghai-Hangzhou High-Speed Railway — Project Overview

The new Shanghai-Hangzhou High-Speed Railway will commence full-scale construction within 2026. The preliminary works of the project started in September 2025, with a total construction period of 4 years, meaning it is expected to be completed by 2029.

The Shanghai-Hangzhou High-Speed Railway is located in southern Shanghai and northern Zhejiang Province. The line starts in the east from the under-construction Shanghai East Station of the Oriental Hub, utilizes the second phase of the Shanghai-Suzhou-Nantong Railway to Situan Station, connects to the under-construction Nantong-Ningbo High-Speed Railway via Jiaxing South Station in the Jiaxing area, connects to the under-construction Hangzhou Airport High-Speed Railway via Tongxiang Station, and finally reaches Hangzhou West Station.

The newly built main line is approximately 197 kilometers long (about 54 kilometers in the Shanghai section and about 143 kilometers in the Zhejiang section), with a designed speed of 350 km/h.

The entire line has a total of 9 stations, including 4 newly built stations at Fengxian, Shanghai Jinshan, Pinghu City, and Linping North; 4 stations to be renovated and expanded at Situan, Jiaxing South, Tongxiang, and Hangzhou West; and 1 existing station at Shanghai East.

Linping North Station Hub

The plot is located in Donghu New City, bordering Ningqiao Avenue to the north, Hongda Road to the south, Xinghe Road to the west, and Heyu Road to the east.

Linping North Station is located in Donghu New City, Linping District, near the intersection of Ningqiao Avenue and Heyu Road, close to Long'an Station on Metro Line 9.
