Starting from the 1st, the five long-distance routes of the high-speed railway (Hong Kong section) will add seven new stops, including Enping, Furong Town, Jingdezhen North, etc. Combined with other line service adjustments, the number of stops connecting to the mainland will increase to 96, further strengthening the connectivity and cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland. Under the new arrangement, Shanghai Hongqiao Line will add stops in Jingdezhen North, Xi'an North Line will add stops in Xianning North and Luohe West, Tianjin West Line northbound trains will not stop in Hengshan West and will stop in Lechang East, Zhanjiang West Line northbound trains will add stops in Enping, and Zhangjiajie West Line southbound trains will add stops in Furong Town and Leiyang West. MTR Corporation Limited stated that among the newly added stations, Enping, located in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, is the ancestral home of many Hong Kong residents. It takes about 2.5 hours to travel directly from West Kowloon Station in Hong Kong, saving more than half of the previous transportation time. On the return trip, visitors can also visit places such as Kaiping and Jiangmen. This adjustment also covers popular tourist destinations such as Jingdezhen in Jiangxi and Furong Town in Hunan. Among them, it only takes about 5 hours from Hong Kong West Kowloon Station to Jingdezhen North, and Hong Kong tourists can easily go to the porcelain capital to experience ceramic production and visit museums; After the addition of Furong Town Station on Zhangjiajie West Line, Hong Kong residents can more conveniently connect attractions such as Tianmen Mountain, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, and Fenghuang Ancient City. With the increasingly dense railway network, this adjustment precisely aligns with the development plan of the mainland and the travel needs of Hong Kong people, promoting efficient flow of factors between regions. Wang Jiaming, the Chief Transit Railway Officer of MTR Corporation, stated that as an important means of cross-border transportation between mainland China and Hong Kong, high-speed rail has further integrated Hong Kong into the overall development of the country and helped Hong Kong sustain its economic and social development. Chen Ruidong, General Manager of China Travel Service in Hong Kong, told reporters that the addition of mainland stations not only enriches the travel options for Hong Kong people, but also optimizes the route arrangements. Taking Enping as an example, the local area has attracted more and more Hong Kong people to come for leisure vacation and visit relatives due to its natural scenery, hot spring resources, overseas Chinese culture, and specialty foods such as goose and eel rice. In addition, close to the world heritage "the Kaiping Diaolou and Villages", tourists can easily travel in series to enjoy the natural scenery and cultural customs of the motherland in a convenient trip.
