The West Qinling Tunnel (Chinese: 西秦岭隧道; pinyin: Xīqínlǐng Suìdào) is in the middle of the Lanzhou–Chongqing railway (Chinese: 兰渝铁路), crossing the Qinling. It is a 28236 metre dual-bore railway tunnel in Wudu District, Longnan City, Gansu, north-west China. It is the second longest railway tunnel in China, slightly shorter than the New Guanjiao Tunnel.
