The Beijing–Hong Kong (Taipei) passageway is a proposed high-speed railway passage in China. It will run in a north-south direction from Beijing to Hong Kong, with a branch leading from Hefei to end at Taipei across the Taiwan Strait. It will connect the cities of Beijing, Xiong'an, Fuyang, Hefei, Jiujiang, Nanchang, Ganzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong on the main line, as well as Fuzhou and Taipei on the branch line.
The line was announced by the Chinese government in 2016 as part of the national "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway network.
