Jilin–Hunchun Intercity Railway, also known as Ji-Hun Passenger Dedicated Line, is a high-speed railway in China's Jilin Province. It connects the provincial capital of Jilin City and the eastern provincial city of Hunchun near the border with Russia and North Korea. It will have a total length of 359 km (223 mi) of electrified double-track railways, built to the Grade 1 standard. Project construction started on October 30, 2010, with operations commencing on September 20, 2015.[1][2][3] The railway has been described as "Dongbei's most beautiful railway" (due to the terrain it runs through) and "the fastest way to Vladivostok" (4 hours by train from Shenyang to Hunchun, plus 4 hours by bus from Hunchun to Vladivostok).[4] Reflecting the border location of the city, the new train station has its sign in four languages: Chinese, Korean, Russian, and English.[5] Future prospects could see the line extended into Russia to Vladivostok.
