The Nanchang–Ganzhou high-speed railway, or Changgan Passenger Dedicated Line, is a high-speed railway[1] between Nanchang and Ganzhou in Jiangxi province. The southern section of that railway, the Ganzhou–Shenzhen high-speed railway, commenced construction in January 2015. This allows for fast connections from Jiangxi to several coastal cities in Guangdong and Fujian.

Construction work began on December 20, 2014, between Nanchang and Ji'an.[2] The 422km (262miles) railway opened in December 2019[3] with 13 stations built with speeds of up to 3500NaN0, reducing travel times for Nanchang to Ganzhou from five hours to two hours.
