At 8:30 AM on September 26th, train G9726 departed from Guangzhou East Station, making its way eastward along the newly constructed Guangzhou-Shanwei high-speed railway. About 73 minutes later, it arrived at Shanwei Station. This marks the official opening and commencement of operations for the Guangzhou-Shanwei high-speed railway.

On the maiden voyage of this high-speed railway, the dining car company organized a special event titled "Autumn Harvest, Fresh Food in Shanwei." The event featured displays of local delicacies, tea-tasting sessions, and performances of Shanwei folk songs. The unique tea offerings presented during the tasting received high praise from many passengers. The Shanwei folk song performance, on the other hand, ignited a lively sing-along among the locals from Chaoshan, creating a warm and enthusiastic atmosphere onboard.

Ms. Lu, a 60-year-old passenger, traveled with a tour group from Huizhou to experience the high-speed railway. She expressed her appreciation for the ride and said, "I'm delighted to witness another significant milestone in the history of Guangdong's railways. This Fuxing bullet train is spacious and provides a comfortable and smooth ride."

Following the opening of the high-speed railway, the travel time on high-speed trains between Guangzhou East Station and Shanwei Station will be reduced from the current 140 minutes to about 70 minutes. The new railway will serve as a rapid passenger transport gateway, fostering deeper integration of the eastern part of Guangdong into the GBA and accelerating the "internal circulation" of the GBA's economy. It will also expedite industrial relocation to the eastern Guangdong region, contributing to rural revitalization efforts in the area.
