Railways lead world

The Ministry of Railways said on its official Website that China’s operational high-speed railways now exceed 3,300 kilometers, leading the world in both length and technology.

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.
