Fuzhou, Xiamen, Shenzhen, and Zhanjiang.[1] The Weifang–Qingdao stretch splits into two, one directly connecting Weifang to Qingdao, the other connecting Weifang to Qingdao through Yantai. Announced in 2016 as part of the national "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway network as an expanded Hangzhou–Fuzhou–Shenzhen passenger railway from the "four vertical and four horizontal" plan.[2] The line will comprise a mixture of high-speed railway lines, upgraded conventional rail lines and intercity railways.
