The Beijing–Shanghai high-speed railway (or Jinghu high-speed railway[1]) is a high-speed railway that connects two major economic zones in the People's Republic of China: the Bohai Economic Rim and the Yangtze River Delta.[3] Construction began on April 18, 2008,[4] with the line opened to the public for commercial service on June 30, 2011.[5] The 1,318-kilometer (819 mi) long high-speed line is the world's longest high-speed line ever constructed in a single phase.[6][7][8]

The line is one of the busiest high speed railways in the world, transporting over 210 million passengers in 2019,[9] more than the annual ridership of the entire TGV or Intercity Express network. It is also China's most profitable high speed rail line, reporting a ¥11.9 billion Yuan ($1.86 billion USD) net profit in 2019.[10]

The non-stop train from Beijing South station to Shanghai Hongqiao station was expected to take 3 hours and 58 minutes,[11] making it the fastest scheduled train in the world, compared to 9 hours and 49 minutes on the fastest trains running on the parallel conventional railway.[12] At first trains were limited to a maximum speed of 300 km/h (186 mph), with the fastest train taking 4 hours and 48 minutes to travel from Beijing South to Shanghai Hongqiao, with one stop at Nanjing South.[13] On September 21, 2017, 350 km/h (217 mph) operation was restored with the introduction of China Standardized EMU. This reduced travel times between Beijing and Shanghai to about 4 hours 28 minutes on the fastest scheduled trains, attaining an average speed of 291.9 km/h (181.4 mph) over a journey of 1,302 km (809 mi) making those services the fastest in the world.[14][15]

The Beijing–Shanghai high-speed railway went public on Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE: 601816) in 2020.[16]
