Huangshan city in Anhui province is regarded as being one of the four new railway hub cities in China – together with Wenzhou in East China's Zhejiang province, Huai'an in East China's Jiangsu province and Qingyuan in South China's Guangdong province. It is also the fifth transportation hub in the Yangtze River Delta region.

During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), Huangshan city is expected to become another major expressway and high-speed rail hub city radiating out to major cities in China in eight directions in Anhui from Hefei city – capital of the province.

There will be 10 high-speed railways and 10 expressways in the city, reducing the commute to the Hangzhou metropolitan area to within one hour, the travel to Yangtze River Delta to within two hours and the commute to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to within five hours.
