It will run east–west, and have 14 stations.[2] This is not to be confused with the Shenzhen–Huizhou intercity railway which is a parallel line that is also under construction but will connect Shenzhen to Huicheng District in northern Huizhou.

On June 8, 2021, the feasibility study report for the line was approved by the Shenzhen Development and Reform Commission.[6]
The extension from Julong railway station in Shenzhen to Dayawan railway station in Huizhou is part of long-term plan.
