根据中国政府的规划,首都北京与东海岸港口城市上海之间将修建一条高速铁路线。 预计这条线路的绝大部分要穿越中国东部的平原地带。几条大江大河如黄河、运河及上海北缘的长江都流经这个地区。中途有长于200km的路段可能要穿越海拔1600m高的山脊,部分路段还需凿建隧洞穿行而过。 According to the Chinese government’s plan, a high-speed railway line will be constructed between Beijing, the capital, and Shanghai, the port city on the east coast. The vast majority of this route is expected to cross the plains of eastern China. Several major rivers like the Yellow River, the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River in the northern edge of Shanghai all flow through this area. Midway over 200km of the section may be to cross the ridge of 1600m above sea level, some sections also need to cut through the tunnel through.
