It consists of the Zhengzhou–Xuzhou high-speed railway, the Zhengzhou–Xi'an high-speed railway, the Xi'an–Baoji high-speed railway and the Baoji–Lanzhou high-speed railway. It is about 1,400 km (870 mi) long and connects the northwest, central China and east China. The speed from Xuzhou to Baoji is 350 km/h (220 mph), and the speed from Baoji to Lanzhou is 250 km/h (160 mph). The line was fully opened on 9 July 2017.[1]
