The Lancun−Yantai railway or Lanyan railway is a double-track, electrified railway in Shandong Province, China. The line runs from Yantai on the north coast of the Shandong Peninsula southwest to Lancun, near Qingdao, on the Jiaozhou–Jinan railway and has a total length of 183.71km (114.15miles).[1] It was built from 1953 to 1956 and double-tracked in 2001.[2] Electrification work, completed in 2010, raised train speed on the line from 80km/h to 120km/h.[1]
The Qingdao–Rongcheng intercity railway runs approximately parallel to this line for most of its route.
