The Beijing–Hong Kong (Taipei) corridor is a proposed high-speed railway corridor in China and Taiwan. It is planned to run in a north–south direction from Beijing to Hong Kong, with a branch leading from Hefei to Taipei across the Taiwan Strait, of which the Taiwan section is proposed unilaterally. It is planned to connect the cities of Beijing, Xiong'an, Fuyang, Hefei, Jiujiang, Nanchang, Ganzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong on the main line, and Fuzhou and Taipei on the branch line.
The line was announced by the Chinese government in 2016 as part of China's "Eight Vertical and Eight Horizontal" network.
