The Dengfeng tourist railway is a Chinese railway currently under construction in the city of Dengfeng. Created primarily to benefit tourism in and around the city, the railway is intended to be complete by 2026.

## Consortium[edit]

On 10 September 2018, Raffles Investment and Development Company, a subsidiary of Singapore-based Raffles Infrastructure, signed an agreement with China Railway Construction Corporation (CRRC), 23 Bureau, and Chengdu Tianfu Railtech Valley Technology, to form a consortium to bid for infrastructure-related projects in China. On 19 October 2018, the consortium signed an agreement with the Tourism Board of the government of Dengfeng City, China to build a tourist railway in Dengfeng City at an estimated cost of 6 billion yuan ($US 864.4 million).

## Construction[edit]

The line is planned to be constructed in four stages, starting in 2018 and ending in 2026. For each stage, a land survey report and environmental report are required.[1]
