The Lanzhou–Hezuo railway or Lanhe railway (Chinese: 兰州至合作铁路 or 兰合铁路) is a railway line under construction that will connect Lanzhou to Linxia and Hezuo by rail.[2] It is proposed to continue the line from Hezuo to Chengdu. The railway line will be the first railway to be constructed in Linxia and Gannan.[3]

Although an existing railway connects Lanzhou to Yongjing, the new Lanhe railway will follow a different route.
