During the May Day holiday in 2026, the first station on the Yunnan section of the Chongqing Kunming high-speed railway, Xundian East Station, was successfully completed and completed. The station is located in a complex high-altitude geological area, and during the construction period, many difficulties were overcome, such as large terrain undulations and multi-disciplinary cross construction, which were properly resolved. Xundian East Station is about 6 kilometers away from Xundian urban area. The station building design incorporates local ethnic customs and combines the natural atmosphere of "high mountains and flowing clouds"; The station building covers an area of approximately 3000 square meters, with 4 arrival and departure tracks and 2 platforms. The daily passenger volume can reach 3000 people, and its practical functions complement the regional cultural characteristics.

As an important component of the national eight vertical and eight horizontal high-speed railway network, the Chongqing Kunming high-speed railway runs through four provinces and cities including Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan, with a designed speed of 350 kilometers per hour. After the full line is opened to traffic, the travel time from Chongqing to Kunming will be shortened to about 2.5 hours, and the travel time from Chengdu to Kunming will be about 3 hours.Editor/Gong Ziwei
