The first train departed from the station and headed for Shantou along a substantial section of a new line connecting Shantou and Shanwei in eastern Guangdong, which also began operation on Tuesday.
Designed for speeds up to 350 kilometers per hour, the new line holds significance as a coastal high-speed railway within China's expansive high-speed railway network.
The substantial section of the line links Shantou South Railway Station with Shanwei. The final leg, extending 20 km and incorporating an undersea tunnel in Shantou Coastal Bay, is currently under construction. The timetable for its full opening remains undisclosed.
