The Datong–Zhangjiakou high-speed railway, also known as the Dazhang passenger dedicated line (Chinese: 大张客运专线; pinyin: Dàzhāng kèyùn zhuānxiàn) is a high-speed railway between Zhangjiakou in Hebei province in the east and Datong in Shanxi province in the west. The total length of the main line is about 141.524 kilometres (87.939 mi). There are five stations on the whole line.
