It is scheduled to start service within this year, and is expected to shorten travel time between Nanning to Yulin to 50 minutes.
It will play a key role in optimizing the comprehensive transportation structure of the region, building a modern comprehensive transportation system, and promoting the connectivity between the Beibu Gulf Economic Zone in Guangxi and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, as well as realizing coordinated development of the Pearl River-Xijiang Economic Belt.
