Hong Kong is again “planned” Shenzhen-Hong Kong “magnetic levitation train” through the Hong Kong Ecological Protection Zone

In February, the Department of Land and Resources of Guangdong Province released the public version of “Guangdong Province Land Spatial Planning 2020-2035”, which stated that “Shanghai (Shenzhen) Guangzhou high-speed maglev channel” should be reserved, while Shenzhen Urban Transportation Planning and Design Research Center also announced the “Guangzhou-Shenzhen high-speed maglev planning scenario” right after. The Shenzhen Urban Transportation Planning and Design Center also published a “Guangzhou-Shenzhen high-speed Maglev planning scenario”, suggesting a direct link from Guangzhou to the artificial island of East Lantau.

Concerned about urban planning and conservation of Hong Kong‘s civil society “local research society” questioned the existing Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link speed of only 200 kilometers per hour on average, the new research and development technology will be able to push up to 600 kilometers per hour, but also claimed that 20 minutes from East Lantau directly to Guangzhou, the credibility is in doubt.

It is pointed out that, according to its current preliminary alignment concept, from Guangzhou International Finance City, via Dongguan Shenzhen to Hong Kong “East Lantau”, the Hong Kong section of about 28 kilometers, the way need to pass through Mai Po, South Sheng Wai, Tai Mo Shan and then over, how huge the impact on the ecological environment of Hong Kong is difficult to assess, but you can be sure that it must be more expensive than 26 kilometers of 100 billion high-speed rail.

“Local research society” criticism, the government constantly hard sell tomorrow island artificial island can issue debt to solve, but every Time are afraid to mention behind a variety of huge infrastructure hidden costs, and finally be clamped on the horse, if the final board, tomorrow island this bottomless pool will certainly be another city. The agency called on the people of Hong Kong must pay close attention to the development.
