The Nanjing Huaihua Intercity Railway has built a fast track between the provincial capital Nanjing and Huai'an, Lianyungang and Yancheng. Nanjing and Huai'an can be directly reached within one hour, and Lianyungang and Yancheng will also be directly connected to Nanjing by the "shortest route". After the project is completed and put into operation, it will further improve the layout of the intercity rail transit network in Jiangsu Province, which is of great significance for facilitating the travel of people along the line, promoting the economic and social development of Nanjing Metropolitan Circle and Jiangsu Anhui region along the line, and helping the high-quality integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta.
