The 10 Years that have changed China and Chinese forever
@powastick @TaiShang @Götterdämmerung @Gibbs @Kaptaan @terranMarine @Jlaw @Keel @grey boy 2 et al
Changes...
The way Chinese travel
The way Chinese perceive their motherland (what a small country!)
The way Chinese define comfort on a 350km/h moving machine
The way Chinese cities are defined and presented
The way Western China develops and leaps forward
The way sea meets glacier and desert
......
China HSR Network by August 2017
22000+km
(two new HSRs open in Aug in Inner Mongolia)
April 2007
After the 6th Speed-up Campaign
No real HSRs, but several old railways upgraded to 200-250km/h.
Most of these upgraded railways no longer offer bullet train services after new parallel HSRs opened.
2007, the year when most people opposed the notion of HSR
2017, the year when it is a shame that a city has no HSR station and
people demonstrate for a stop
What will be the next ten years like?

That is the new Xining Railway Station, the biggest HSR station on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.
Xining is also the biggest city on this plateau.
All slow trains to Lhasa and all bullet trains on Lanzhou-Xinjiang HSR stop at Xining Station.

Xining City
The beginning is about Xining Station
Xining is a multicultural city, famous for halal cuisine and Chinese-style mosques.

Xining looks stunning, beautiful natural scenes with quite modern city development. The interior of the station looks like an airport

Intoxicating beauty of the motherland. Slow trains just add to the already overwhelming charm of Greater China.
HSR, on the other hand, is China's new revolution.

Xining is an ideal model for cultural integration where Han, Tibetan, Hui, Tu, etc, live together harmoniously.Xining looks stunning, beautiful natural scenes with quite modern city development. The interior of the station looks like an airport
I was there in 2011, visiting Qinghai Lake (one day trip from Xining City) en route to Lhasa.
At that time, Xining was already very modern, but the railway station was a disaster.
The old Xining Station was demolished to be rebuilt and the station temporarily moved to a freight station with a temporary passengers' building....

CRC speeds up modernization
Firm to buy 500 bullet trains, speed limit to rise to 350 kph
China Railways Corp, the country's rail operator, plans to purchase 500 bullet trains with an operating speed of 350 kilometers per hour from China Railway Rolling Stock Corp by 2020, it said in a statement on Monday night.
This move indicates that China is raising the operating speed of its high-speed trains from 300 kph since 2011.
China will also release a new schedule on Sept 21 to improve its rail passenger service and operational efficiency.
China's new-generation bullet train, the Fuxing, will make seven round trips each day between Beijing and Shanghai from Sept 21 at 350 kph. It will be the world's fastest commercial bullet train, cutting the travel time between the two cities from 5.5 hours to 4.5 hours.
Eager to compete with rivals in Japan and Germany, CRC and CRRC, China's railway vehicle manufacturer, also signed a cooperation agreement in Beijing on Monday to deepen relations in every link of the railway industry chain, from research and development to design, manufacturing, installation, maintenance and financing.
CRRC Chairman Liu Hualong said the partnership will improve China's railway industry, optimize the allocation of resources, modernize the current financing mode in the sector, and deepen the impact of the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as lead to the export of more new-generation bullet trains.
China started to run its first 350 kph high-speed train between Beijing and Tianjin in August 2008 and opened at least three more high-speed lines nationwide in the following years, until the government limited the maximum speed at 300 kph in 2011.
The Fuxing trains were unveiled in June and are capable of top speeds of 400 kph.
CRC and CRRC will explore a new mode of cooperation to lower maintenance costs for high-end equipment.
This cooperation will also result in the repair and maintenance of trains without the involvement of any outside party.
In term of supplying train parts, the two groups will work closely from resource supply to logistics.
"The ongoing State-owned enterprise reform has encouraged them to optimize their resources to gain more profits and a greater share of the global market," said Feng Hao, a railway development researcher at the National Development and Reform Commission.
Feng said CRC and CRRC are likely to seek opportunities to expand overseas, especially in the fields of rail vehicle supplies, research and development, and maintenance.
CRC and CRRC will establish a supplier management platform in order to efficiently share information and build a credit evaluation system to ensure the quality of suppliers.

High-speed rail to halve Chengdu-Shanghai travel time
By Guo Kai | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2017-08-24 11:15

Authorities have started researching feasible plans on building a high-speed railway line from Shanghai to Chengdu in Sichuan province along the Yangtze River, one of the country's eight important east-to-west high-speed railway tracks.
China Railways Corp, the country's rail operator, and Anhui provincial government are likely to submit a plan to the central government on constructing the Hefei-Nanjing section of the line by the end of August.
The two have agreed to jointly build the section during the 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016-2020), the official WeChat account of Chengdu Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone reported on Wednesday.
Hubei provincial government has also drawn up plans on building the sections in the Central China's province of the east-to-west line to link cities to the coastal area.
Hubei plans to build a high-speed railway to link Macheng and Enshi as part of the Shanghai-Chengdu line. The Jingmen-Yichang section will be the same line linking Xiangyang, Jingmen and Yichang, which will start construction next year.
According to a medium- and long-term plan to expand railway network approved by the State Council, China's Cabinet, last year, China will build eight rail lines north to south, and eight lines east to west.
The high-speed railway line along the Yangtze River will connect 22 cities from Shanghai to Chengdu. The train will have a maximum speed of 350 kilometers per hour.
"The line starting from Shanghai, en route Nanjing, Hefei, Wuhan, Chongqing to Chengdu, will be built with the standard of 350 km/h, paralleling a passenger-dedicated line from Shanghai to Chengdu," a railway official said.
At the end of 2013, China completed a passenger-dedicated railway line from Shanghai to Chengdu, which takes 14 hours to complete the journey.
The high-speed railway will shorten the time from Chengdu to Wuhan to about three hours and from Chengdu to Shanghai to about seven hours.
