The Shanghai–Chongqing–Chengdu high-speed railway is a high-speed rail line under construction in China. The Chinese name of the railway line, Huyurong, is a combination of the abbreviations for Shanghai (沪, Hù), Chongqing (渝, Yú), and Chengdu (蓉, Róng). It will run in an east-west direction largely parallel to the Yangtze River, connecting the cities of Shanghai, Nanjing, Hefei, Wuhan, Chongqing and Chengdu.
Announced in 2016 as part of China's "Eight Vertical and Eight Horizontal" network, the passage will comprise multiple railway lines and branch lines, including those currently operational as well as those under construction and under planning.
