The Lanzhou–Zhangye high-speed railway is a high-speed rail line from Lanzhou to Zhangye, both in China's Gansu Province. The line runs along the Hexi Corridor and roughly parallels the Lanzhou–Xinjiang railway. Once fully completed it will form an alternative route to the Lanzhou–Xinjiang high-speed railway.

The line is constructed by China Railway Construction Corporation and designed for operations up to 250 km/h (160 mph).[1][2]

Test runs on the 194.3 km (120.7 mi) long Lanzhou to Wuwei section started in March 2024 and the line opened for passenger traffic on 15 June 2024.[1]

The new stations are Yongdeng North, Tianzhu West, Hesongyi (overtaking station), Gulang North, and Wuwei East.[1]
