Abstract: High-speed railway is an indispensable part of the transportation system. The construction and opening of high-speed railway will contribute to the economic development of cities along the route, but it will also have an adverse impact on peripheral areas. The research of the article is mainly carried out from an empirical point of view, using comparative analysis, regression analysis and other methods to measure and quantitatively describe the impact of high-speed railways on urban and regional spatial development. The study found that the operation of the Shanghai-Kunming high-speed rail had a siphon effect on cities along the Jiangxi Province, leading to unbalanced regional development.

Keywords: High-speed railway, regional economy, linear regression, siphon effect
