China's Leap | China Railway Construction Overcomes Complex Geology to Expand Greater Bay Area Intercity Network

The Guangzhou East Ring Intercity (Panyu–Baiyun Airport North) and the Palian Intercity Railway have opened, connecting with four existing lines to form a 400-km network across six Greater Bay Area cities. Built by China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC), the projects overcame dense urban zones and mixed geology using advanced tunneling, AI-based monitoring, and BIM technology—marking a major step toward a fully integrated regional rail system. (Photo provided to China Youth Daily)
