Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport Intercity Railway is a high-speed railway in China, located in Gansu Province, connecting the Lanzhou urban area and Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport. The Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport is quite distant from the actual city area of Lanzhou itself. Regular ground transport currently takes about an hour to make the journey and taxi journeys are expensive at around 150 to 200RMB, but with little to no time advantage over the airport bus service. Thus a high-speed rail connection was initiated by the Lanzhou government in order to improve access to the airport, but also to the adjacent Lanzhou New Area special economic zone. The journey to the airport now takes from 30 to 40 minutes at a cost of 18.5RMB for Second Class and 22RMB for First Class.

Overview

The Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport Intercity Railway is proposed to be the first section of a longer Lanzhou-Zhangye Intercity Railway, connecting western Gansu cities. Length of the railway will be 61 km. Starting from Lanzhou West Railway Station to Fuliqu, the route will parallel the Lanzhou–Xinjiang High-Speed Railway. From Fuliqu to Zhongchuan Airport will have 48.2 km of new railway, built as a double tracked electrified line. Total investment will be over 9.1 billion yuan RMB. A total of six stations will be constructed, Lanzhou West Railway Station will allow transfers to the future Lanzhou Metro Line 2, Chenguanying will allow transfers to Metro Line 1.

An initial groundbreaking ceremony was held on December 27, 2010. However works were not actually started. On December 21, 2012, another groundbreaking ceremony was held again with full construction now underway.^[1] The line started operation on September 30, 2015.^[2]
