Railways lead world
February 21, 2010
Last year China finished two high-speed railways between Wuhan-Guangzhou and Zhengzhou-Xi’an, with an operating speed of 350kmh.
Prior to that China built high-speed railways between some of its major cities, including Beijing-Tianjin, Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan, Qingdao-Jinan, Hefei-Wuhan and Hefei-Nanjing.
China already has more high speed rail than any other country in the world.
Shanghai Daily reports that a number of new high-speed railways are being built of which the much-anticipated Beijing-Shanghai line has a length of 1,318km and a designed travel speed of 350kmh.
