• [Liaoyuan will welcome its first high-speed railway]
• On January 29, 2026, Jilin Province announced that the route and station location of the Liaoyuan section of the Changsi Liaotong high-speed railway have been determined. The project is designed with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour and a total length of approximately 334 kilometers, which will end the history of Liaoyuan not being connected to high-speed railways. The Provincial Development and Reform Commission stated that it is making every effort to promote the approval of pre feasibility studies and ensure their completion and opening to traffic by the end of the 15th Five Year Plan period. At that time, the travel time from Changchun to Liaoyuan will be shortened to about 45 minutes, and it will help Jilin achieve the goal of "connecting cities with high-speed rail".Editor/Gao Xue
