Hong Kong West Kowloon also known as West Kowloon, is the terminus of the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong Express Rail Link (XRL). As the only Hong Kong rail section that connects to the mainland China section through a dedicated tunnel, it creates much optimism in the business community for logistical enhancement for the country. Service commenced this fall October 2018 for This High-speed rail that connects from Hong Kong to mainland China.

High-speed rail (HSR) in China is the country’s network of passenger-dedicated railways designed for speeds of 250–350 km/h (155–217 mph). It is the world’s longest high speed railway network and is also the most extensively used.

By the end of 2018, HSR extended to 30 of the country’s 33 provincial-level administrative divisions and reached 29,000 km (18,000 mi) in total length, accounting for about two-thirds of the worlds high-speed rail tracks in commercial service. The HSR building boom continues with the HSR network set to reach 38,000 km (24,000 mi) in 2025.

With reserved seating and a relaxed atmosphere to rest or prep for an upcoming meeting the HSR is an ideal option for connecting to another key business hub in Changsha.
