The railway, also known as the Lanxin Railway, follows the path of the ancient Silk Road. It runs over 1,700 kilometers, from Lanzhou, Gansu Province, through the Hexi Corridor, to Urumqi in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It passes through 39 stations, including Xinjiang’s cities of Turpan and Hami, and Gansu’s Jiayuguan, Jiuquan and Xining.

The travel time needed to cover that distance when the line is in full operation later this year will be reduced to half, at about 9 hours. The railway’s Xinjiang section is 710 kilometers long and is designed for the purpose of transporting passengers only.
