The Jilin province section of the Shenyang-Baihe High Speed Railway links the southeastern areas of Tonghua, Baishan and Changbaishan, ending the absence of high-speed rail service in Tonghua and Baishan. It has also enabled a closed-loop fast passenger rail network in northeastern China’s eastern region, further reducing time and space distance.

　　Where railways go, prosperity follows. From improved travel efficiency and surging commercial vitality to upgraded cultural and tourism industries, the space-time compression effect brought by the Shenyang-Baihe High Speed Railway as it runs through the snowy forest regions is transforming into tangible driving force for regional development.
