Hankou-Tianmen South HSR Journey
Today, taking a bullet train(bound for Chongqing) to a small county-level city half an hour away.(83km)

Starting from Hankou Station, a upgraded old station in Wuhan
(Wuhan's "pure" high speed station is Wuhan Railway Station)
Full of passengers inside the waiting room, 3pm, Friday

Check-in
Left was CRH2(kawasaki-CSR), right was CRH380A(CSR)
My was a D train(200-250km/h) on the left track
CRH380A was bound for Beijing.(Chongqing-Beijing)

Stop at a small station for 9 minutes(usually 1-2 minutes)
The reason was obvious...
Clearing the track for the real high-speed train, G309(Beijing-Chongqing)

This station is located at the county border of two county-level cities, Tianmen and Xiantao.
It is a compromise of a fierce competition between these two places for high-seed rail a couple of years ago.
Now a lot of cities and counties in this province are competing for another grand project, 350km/h Shanghai-Wuhan-Chengdu along-Yangtze River HSR. o_O

Hankou Station is very nice and modern looking.

Tianmen Station is also impressive too.

Are you visiting friends or relatives in Tianmen or Xiantao?
Some relatives in Xiantao.(home to several Olympic gymnastic medalists, such as Yang Wei, Li Xiaoshuang)
I am now in a "village" 10km south to the downtown of Xiantao.
It used be a very poor village.
Now, they have free housing with pipeline natural gas as what we have in the city.
Every family can get n+1 apartments(n=number of kids)

China state planner approves $5.3-bln high-speed rail projects

BEIJING

Jan 6 China's top economic planner on Wednesday approved two high-speed railway projects with a total value of 34.6 billion yuan ($5.28 billion), a move to hasten infrastructure projects to boost economic growth.

One project is a 197-km (122-mile) rail link between northeastern Liaoning province and northern Inner Mongolia, and the other involves an investment of 17.02 billion yuan ($2.6 billion) in a separate rail link between different cities in the two regions, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said on its website.
