What is the speed of the inter-city HSR from Urumqi to Korla?

What are the stations along this line?

Are there any pretty places to visit?

 

[AndrewJin]

Jilin-Hunchun?

Why is it not called Changchun-Hunchun HSR?

It should be Changchun-Jilin-Hunchun HSR.
Jilin-Hunchun section is the second phase.

What is the speed of the inter-city HSR from Urumqi to Korla?

What are the stations along this line?

Are there any pretty places to visit?

I don't think it's intercity HSR, just traditional train, traditional trains for intercity are nearly extinct.
Korla is the capital of Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Off topic for the moment.
Yesterday, I hiked in Yading Reserve in Sichuan Province. The hardest day in my life so far, good news was all mountain sickness disappeared even when I reached the highest point, nearly 4800m above the sea level.
I suggest everyone come here once in your lifetime, you won't regret spending a couple of days on mountainous roads to reach the national park.

In the morning, you can see snow on the ground. That was from a snowstorm I experienced the day before the hiking day.

Later in the morning

First part of the trail was nice

Then

The final mountain pass!

The milk lake

The five colors lake

The sacred mountain is so close
(can see 2 of the 3 sacred mountains of Yading)

 

[AndrewJin]

The weather was changeable.
When I hiked back from five colors lake, a huge snowstorm came.

I could barely stand.
But minuets later

Sunny day was back!

One hour later, snow would be back soon

Back to the start!
Finally

When I was on electric bus back to the shuttle bus station, another snowstorm hit us!
But when I reached the entrance, magic weather!

This photo was taken the day before my hiking day, waking to another sacred mountain.

Now I am waiting for the shuttle bus to the sacred mountains again, let me see them for the last time in my life!

The heaven is also hell.

Changchun-Hunchun intercity high-speed railway

The Changchun-Hunchun intercity high-speed railway, which links China with Russia and North Korea, has transported over one million passengers, almost half of the population of the Yanbian Korea Autonomous Prefecture in Jilin Province, since it was put into operation a month ago, according to China News Service.

According to statistics, the railway has transported 1.03 million passengers since the line opened on Sept. 20, 2015 and 380,000 during China's National Day holiday.

The railway, connecting Changchun, the capital city of Jilin Province and the eastern border city of Hunchun in the autonomous prefecture, dispatches an average of 21.5 pairs of trains every day and runs every 38 minutes on an average basis.

The line is also expected to improve the entire northeast China transportation network, help regional economic development and create unity among ethnic groups, experts say.

Dubbed the most beautiful line in northeastern China, it passes through the Changbai Mountains, Songhua Lake, Lafa Mountain and other famous scenic spots.

Yesterday was my third and final day in the park. Now on 6:10 bus to Kangding County, 10 hours of mountainous roads on 3-4km high plateau.

The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region's first non-stop inter-city train service was launched on Tuesday between Korla in the region's south and the capital Urumqi.

With a maximum speed of 160 kilometers per hour, the train, Star of Southern Xinjiang, took four-and-a-half hours to get to Urumqi. It features new technologies and fast speed, news site ts.cn reported Tuesday.

The train can operate non-stop for 20 hours, and the new equipment guarantees a smooth ride.
