=== Railways ===

Due to Fujian's mountainous terrain and traditional reliance on maritime transportation, railways came to the province comparatively late. The first rail links to neighboring [[Jiangxi]], [[Guangdong]], and [[Zhejiang]] Province, opened respectively, in 1959, 2000, and 2009. As of October 2013, Fujian has four rail links with Jiangxi to the northwest: the [[Yingtan–Xiamen Railway]] (opened 1957), the [[Hengfeng–Nanping Railway]] (1998), [[Ganzhou–Longyan Railway]] (2005) and the high-speed [[Xiangtang–Putian Railway]] (2013). Fujian's lone rail link to Guangdong to the west, the [[Zhangping–Longchuan Railway]] (2000), will be joined with the high-speed [[Xiamen–Shenzhen Railway|Xiamen–Shenzhen Railway (Xiashen Line)]] in late 2013. The Xiashen Line forms the southernmost section of China's [[Southeast Coast High-Speed Rail Corridor]]. The [[Wenzhou–Fuzhou Railway|Wenzhou–Fuzhou]] and [[Fuzhou–Xiamen Railway|Fuzhou–Xiamen]] sections of this corridor entered operation in 2009 and link Fujian with Zhejiang with trains running at speeds of up to {{convert|250|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}}.

Within Fujian, coastal and interior cities are linked by the [[Nanping–Fuzhou Railway|Nanping–Fuzhou]] (1959), [[Zhangping–Quanzhou–Xiaocuo Railway|Zhangping–Quanzhou–Xiaocuo]] (2007) and [[Longyan–Xiamen Railway]]s, (2012). To attract Taiwanese investment, the province intends to increase its rail length by 50 percent to {{convert|2500|km|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name="China Expat City Guide: Dandong">{{cite web|title=China Expat city Guide Dalian|url=http://www.chinaexpat.com/list/88|publisher=China Expat|year=2008|access-date=February 8, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090217165854/http://chinaexpat.com/list/88|archive-date=February 17, 2009|url-status=live}}</ref>
