The Longhai railway is a major arterial east-west railway in China. It runs from Lianyungang, Jiangsu on the Yellow Sea to Lanzhou, Gansu through the provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Shaanxi and Gansu covering a total length of 1.759 km. The Longhai Line is one of the busiest Chinese railways. The Longhai Railway was built over the course of half a century by four different governments of China: Qing Dynasty, Beiyang Government, Nationalist Republican government and the Communist government of the People's Republic. The first section of the railway, entirely within Henan, from Kaifeng to Luoyang was built from 1905 to 1909 by a venture between the Qing Dynasty and a Belgian joint-stock company backed by France and Russia. This line, known as the Bianliang-Luoyang Rail-way, began operation on January 1, 1910. The line was extended eastward to Xuzhou in 1916 and to Haizhou in 1923 with Dutch financing. In the west, the line was extended to Lingbao, Henan in 1927 with Belgian financing. Henan is located in the central part of China and is the birthplace of Chinese civilization with over 3,000 years of recorded history, and remained China's cultural, economical, and political center until approximately 1,000 years ago. Numerous heritages have been left behind including the ruins of Shang Dynasty capital city Yin and the Shaolin Temple. Four of the eight Great Ancient Capitals of China are located in Henan.
