China high-speed rail map
Visitor-city network overview for trip planning — schematic city-pair lines, not a fake national network. Distinct from the rail explorer’s corridor compare tables; both use the same published route catalog.
Pick origin → destination on the map tool to jump a published corridor’s route guide (start with Beijing–Shanghai). Looking for filters plus option tables? Open rail explorer. First trip on HSR? First-time HSR guide and how foreigners buy tickets.
Map is visual orientation. Text alternative: corridor list and origin→destination result above/below.
Exports are marked demo_catalog / schematic_city_pair — not live inventory.
