Foshan-Dongguan Intercity Railway, also called the Fo-Guan Intercity Railway, is a planned high-speed railway within Guangdong province, China between the cities of Foshan, via Guangzhou, to Dongguan. It forms one leg of the Pearl River Delta Rapid Transit regional network and will provide connections with the Guangzhou–Dongguan–Shenzhen Intercity Railway, Dongguan–Huizhou Intercity Railway and local metro systems. It will connect Panyu District, Guangzhou at the major Guangzhou South interchange, tunnelling under the Pearl River through Machong and Hongmei to Wanghong Railway Station providing connections via the Dongguan Rail Transit, the Guangzhou–Dongguan–Shenzhen Intercity Railway or the Dongguan–Huizhou Intercity Railway. The length of the railway is 36.681 kilometres. It should be noted that, although this first phase of the project is named Foshan-Dongguan Intercity Railway, it does not pass through the city of Foshan in any way. The second section of this railway from Guangzhou South to Foshan West Railway Station has been planned, prepared and the line is under construction as the Guangfo Intercity Railway, the first phase of the Guangzhou Circle Intercity Railway.
