Quanzhou-Xiamen-Zhangzhou R1 Line is an intercity railway that runs through Xiamen, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou. It is the main framework line of the intercity railway in Xiamen-Zhangzhou-Quanzhou metropolitan area. After completion, it will connect the three major urban centers of Xiamen, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou. It has important strategic significance for the formation of urban agglomeration development clusters and the realization of regional coordinated development. Under the background of
real estate downturn, infrastructure is considered to be the key to stimulate cement demand, and the construction of Quanzhou-Xiamen-Zhangzhou Intercity Rail (R1 Line) is expected to have a strong pull on local cement demand.
