ka ʻO Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong, ka ʻoihana ʻo Hig Speed Rail mua ma Hong Kong hoino aku ua hoʻouka ʻia i kēia lā (23 Kepakemapa 2018), e lawe ana i nā malihini kipa a puni ka honua i ka manawa e hele wikiwiki ai a maʻalahi hoʻi ma waena o Hong Kong a me nā kūlanakauhale ma waena o Kina. Ma kahi kikoʻī, hoʻokau ka loulou uila hou iā Hong Kong i kahi hikiwawe o ʻeiwa mau kūlanakauhale kokoke i ka moku ʻo Guangdong a hoʻolaha aku i kahi mea hoʻonui nui i ka mākaʻikaʻi ma ka Greater Bay Area.
Hoʻohui ka loulou uila 26-km iā Hong Kong no ka manawa mua i ka pūnaewele tereina wikiwiki nui a ka ʻāina China, ka nui loa o ka honua. Hiki i nā mea huakaʻi ke holo mai Hong Kong a i nā wahi 44 ma ka palena ʻāina ʻo Kina me ka loli ʻole o nā kaʻaahi, e hoʻolilo i ke kūlanakauhale i wahi hoʻomaka no nā huakaʻi huakaʻi maha ma o Kina. Me nā kaʻaahi wikiwiki wikiwiki pololei e hoʻopili ana iā Hong Kong a i Shenzhen a me Guangzhou ma kahi o 48 mau minuke, ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki a me ka maʻalahi o ka huakaʻi ma waena o ka Greater Bay Area ma mua o ka wā ma mua.
ʻO ka ʻāpana ʻo Hong Kong o ka pūnaewele ʻo High Speed Rail e holo ana mai West Kowloon Station, kahi o nā kahua kaʻaahi kiʻekiʻe loa o ka honua ma lalo o ka honua a me kahi mākaʻikaʻi e ʻike pono ʻia no ka poʻe kipa i ke kūlanakauhale. Ua hoʻolālā ka hoʻolālā o ke kikowaena i nā makana hoʻolālā hoʻolālā honua e like me hoʻokahi ma ka World Architecture Festival Awards, i ʻike ʻia ʻo “Oscars of architecture”. Hiki i nā kipa ke ʻoluʻolu i nā hiʻohiʻona o ke awa ʻo Victoria Harbour ma ka hele wāwae ʻana ma ka Sky Corridor ma ka hale o ke keʻena. ʻO kahi ʻekolu hectare ʻāpana ʻōmaʻomaʻo ma waho o ke kikowaena, i kēia manawa, hāʻawi i kahi oasis maluhia i ka puʻuwai o ke kūlanakauhale no nā kamaʻāina a me nā mākaʻikaʻi pū kekahi.
Ma waho o ke keʻena, nui nā leʻaleʻa a me nā wahi hoihoi no ka poʻe kipa e makemake e leʻaleʻa i ke kūʻai ʻana, ka ʻaina, a me ka ʻono o Hong Kong kuʻuna. ʻO kahi huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi ʻo Tsim Sha Tsui me kāna mau hale ʻaina kaulana a me nā hale kūʻai kaulana o ka honua kahi mamao aku. Hoʻohui pū ʻia kēia kahua e ka halihali lehulehu i nā kaiāulu hoihoi e like me Sham Shui Po ma Kowloon kahi e ʻike ai ka poʻe kipa i ke ola Hong Kong maoli, a i ʻole Old Town Central ma ka mokupuni ʻo Hong Kong kahi e hauʻoli ai ka poʻe kipa i ka mōʻaukala, nā hana noʻeau, nā meaʻai, a me nā moʻomeheu i kekahi o nā kulanakauhale a kahiko a me ka idiosyncratic apana.
Ma waho pono o ke kahua hoʻonohonoho ʻo Hong Kong mau hana noʻeau hou a me ka hub moʻomeheu, ka ʻĀpana Cultural West Kowloon. Aia ia ma waho pono o ke kahua, kahi e hāʻawi koke ai i nā mea kipa i ka manawa kūpono e leʻaleʻa ai i ka nui o nā hōʻike, nā hana, a me nā hanana moʻomeheu ke haʻalele lākou i ka pūnaewele ʻo High Speed Rail.
ʻAʻohe manawa ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi e hele ai ma ke kaʻaahi a ʻike iā Hong Kong a me nā kūlanakauhale ma waena o Kina. Loaʻa nā kikiki no ka pūnaewele ʻo High Speed Rail ma ka pūnaewele, mai nā ʻelele balota, a ma o ka laina hotline tele-ticketing.
