Dali–Lijiang railway

The Dali–Lijiang railway or Dali railway (simplified Chinese: 大丽铁路; traditional Chinese: 大麗鐵路; pinyin: dàlì tiělù), is a single-track electrified railroad in Yunnan Province of Southwest China.

The line runs 165 km (103 mi) from Dali to Lijiang and was built from 2004 to 2009.

[1][2] Bridges and tunnels account 98 km (61 mi) of the total length of the line.

On October 30, 2011, the Dali–Lijiang railway was extended northward by 16-km after the Renhe-Lijiang (Renli) rail extension was completed.

[3] The Renli section begins from Renhe station, near Renhe village in Qihe Township of Old Town Lijiang, and runs north to the newly built Lijiang railway station.
