That tea was good. But when Hangzhou has become industrialised, I don't think suburban Hangzhou can still provide excellent environment for tea growing. I prefer selenium tea grown in mountainous Enshi.

China's 'Alpine' high-speed train service starts tomorrow
CRRC Corporation says its CRH2G high-speed train, which has been developed specifically for high-altitude operation, has been approved by China's National Railway Administration enabling the fleet to enter passenger service next month on the 1776km Lanzhou – Xinjiang high-speed line in north west China.
The 250km/h trains are being supplied to China Railway Corporation by CRRC's Qingdao Sifang subsidiary and are designed to operate at up to 3600 meters above sea level in temperatures ranging from -40 to +40oC as well as sandstorms, high-winds, and intense ultraviolet light.
The highest railway station in Europe is at 3,454 meters (11,332 ft) above sea level. It is close to the summits of the Eiger, Jungfrau and Mönch mountains. Jungfraujoch is an underground railway station situated below the Jungfraujoch col in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland.
Bogies have been adapted to prevent frost, snow, and ice accumulation while the sealed bodyshell reduces the risk of failures caused by condensing meltwater. Underfloor equipment cabinets are pressure-sealed to minimise sand and dust ingress and a sediment control ventilation system ensures onboard air quality is maintained.
China Railway Corporation (CRC) confirmed on November 5 that commercial operations will begin on November 16 on the first section of high-speed line in the western region of Xinjiang Uygar.
The 530km Urumqi – Hami line is the first section of the 1776km Urumqi – Lanzhou high-speed line to be completed. The remainder of the 250km/h line is due to open by the end of the year, reducing journey times between Urumqi and Lanzhou from around 21 hours to eight hours.
The 31 station line crosses the Gobi desert and reaches a summit of 3607m above sea level in the Qilianshan No. 2 Tunnel, making it the world's highest high-speed line. To protect the line from high desert winds, 462km of screening has been installed along the route.
Construction began on the Yuan 143.5bn ($US 23.5bn) project in November 2009 and trial operation commenced on the Xinjiang section of the route in June this year.
Electrical equipment has been configured to minimise the risk of damage from lightning strikes and CRRC says protective film on the windows reduces UV penetration to less than 1%.
Development of the CRH2G has taken around three years, a process which included testing one of the driving vehicles in the Rail Tec Arsenal climatic chamber in Vienna.
Each 201.4m-long eight-car train seats 613 passengers including 48 in first class.

It was quite an experience. Initially we could not buy the ticket because we did not bring our passports. No other ID was acceptable. After we returned with our passports, the early tickets to Du Jiang Yan were sold out. When we enquire at the info counter for other transportation, he found another line going to离堆公园 or li dui gong yuan. So we ended up going to li dui station. Which I found out much later was actually much closer to the Du Jiang Yan irrigation works than Du Jiang Yan station. Very confusing. However we had to return to Chendu via Du Jiang Yan station. We had to catch a taxi to take us from Li Dui to the Du Jiang Yan railway station.

Russian Railways prefers Chinese offer on Moscow-Kazan HSR construction to German one
4 November 2015
The prices for some equipment were too high.
RUSSIA, RAILWAYS, CHINA
The Russian Railways company (RZD) is not satisfied with cooperation terms for the construction of Russia's high-speed railway (HSR) Moscow-Kazan suggested by the German Initiative consortium, RZD vice-president for high-speed railway development said on Tuesday.
"The German Initiative offered a memorandum of cooperation and equipment import investment," Alexander Misharin told TASS. "We are analysing the proposals, but their equipment supply funding offers do not satisfy us."
The Russian Railways official noted that the prices for some equipment were too high. "Moreover we cooperate with Chinese counterparts who have the same equipment for more appropriate prices," Misharin said.
While citing president and CEO of Siemens in Russia and Central Asia, vice-president of Siemens AG Dietrich Moeller, TASS reported earlier that the German Initiative - a German consortium led by Siemens - may join the Russian high-speed railway project as a co-investor along with Chinese investors
According to Moeller, the amounts of funding previously agreed with China would not be sufficient for the entire project. He said the consortium is considering co-funding the project in one of its segments, rolling stock supplies. Other possible areas in which Siemens might be interested are signaling, traffic control and power supply systems.
He said the company is prepared to offer new generation of Sapsan trains which could be produced at a JV plant with Sinara.
Currently, Siemens is partnering with Sinara on building rolling stock for Russian Railways. The JV plant Ural Locomotives is building freight locomotives and Lastochka EMUs.
Russia’s first Moscow-Kazan HSR is estimated to cost 1.068 trillion roubles ($17 billion). The length of the route will be about 770 km. With trains running at the speed of up to 400 km/h the travel time on the route from Moscow to Kazan will be reduced to 3.5 hours from current 14 hours.

China, Connected
After major setbacks, high-speed rail is becoming the unifying force Chinese planners had long hoped it would be.
Sold out train cars. Popular demands in cities for high-speed rail access. And, now, a stunning map depicting a China unified by crisscrossing lines of steel that has gone viral across social media. After early setbacks, China’s HSR is finally hitting its stride,connecting over 100 cities with a dedicated network of around 10,000 miles of track — more than the rest of the world combined.
In late July, an unofficial map of China’s HSR network created by Tao Anjun, a professor at Southeast University in Nanjing and self-professed rail fan and map geek, went viral on the Chinese web (complete with Korean, Japanese, and English versions, the latter pictured above). The detailed color-coded graphic mimics the simplicity and user-friendliness of a subway map, though Chinese transportation officials have emphasized in response that the map should not be used a substitute for official train schedules. Even so, the image and its enthusiastic reception have heralded HSR’s arrival as a mainstream, and increasingly beloved, part of everyday life.
The opening of a new line generates genuine excitement in cities slated to join the grid. In March, officials announced that the line running from Yanji — at 400,000 people, this northeastern city in Jilin province is small by Chinese standards — to the provincial capital of Changchun would open in October, cutting travel time from about five hours by bus to two by rail. As one Changchun resident from Yanji gushed, “Ever since we heard the news, my whole family has been looking forward to it.”
Even in places already graced by HSR, the possibility of a new line gets people buzzing. In July, questions from local residents about a proposed direct route between Hangzhou and Wenzhou dominated a call-in town hall meeting held by Wenzhou’s head of development and reform. And cities passed over for HSR have complained loudly. In May, thousands of citizens from Linshui, a county in Sichuan, amassed in a reverse NIMBY (“Not In My Back Yard”) protest, seeking both the convenience and the economic bump that a rail station would have brought.
When I rode the arterial Beijing-Guangzhou line in July, I walked along the 16-car train and counted no empty seats. When I remarked how packed the train was, my seat neighbor noted it just made too much sense to take HSR these days for medium or long distances, given how much of a time drain domestic flights can be, especially with their extensive security checks. For many Chinese people — whose relatives and friends are often spread all over the expansive country as they pursue different opportunities — more time to spend together is a valuable commodity.

Chongqing-Kunming HSR
Chongqing-Kunming High-speed Railway is expected to kick off construction next year.
After this line is completed, it'll take only 3 hours from Chongqing to Kunming by trains.
Chongqing-Kunming HSR
Total length:600 km
Designed speed:350 km/h
Duration:48 months (2016~2020)
Yunnan to enter high-speed rail era next year
By high-speed rail, it will take four hours to travel from Kunming to Changsha, capital of central China’s Hunan Province and about ten hours to reach Shanghai. Whether for sightseeing or on business, this is really promising! So, how is construction of Shanghai-Kunming High-Speed Rail, Yunnan-Guangxi High-Speed Rail and the Kunming South High-Speed Railway Station? When will Yunnan usher in the high-speed rail era? As we recently learnt from Kunming Railway Bureau recently, the construction of Shanghai-Kunming High-Speed Rail is progressing rapidly; it will be ready for integrated commissioning and testing next June and will go into full operation by the end of next year.
According to Zhang Caichun, deputy secretary of Kunming Railway Bureau committee of the CPC, the Yunnan-Guangxi High-Speed Rail will also go into operation by the end of next year after integrated commissioning and testing. Currently, its bridges and most roadbeds have been completed, and the construction of communications, signalling, electric power, traction power supply and house-building projects are going on smoothly.
In the national “Mid- and Long-Term Railway Network Plan”, the Shanghai-Kunming High-Speed Rail is one of China’s “four vertical and four horizontal” fast passenger transport channels. Also known as the Shanghai-Kunming Passenger Line, it runs from Shanghai in the east and Kunming in the west; it will be the longest east-west high-speed rail and will pass through the largest number of provinces. It will call at Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Changsha, Guiyang and Kunming, with a total length of 2,264 km and a design speed of 350 km/h. The Yunnan-Guangxi High-Speed Rail is a trunk railway in the national “Mid- and Long-Term Railway Network Plan” and it will be the most convenient railway channel to connect Yunnan with the southeast coastal region. The main line of the Yunnan-Guangxi High-Speed Railway will be 434 km in length; the design speed is 200 km/h, which can be increased to 250 km/h when necessary.
According to Zhang Caichun, besides the Kunming-Shanghai High-Speed Rail and the Yunnan-Guangxi High-Speed Rail, Kunming Railway Bureau is also extending the high-speed rail to western and southern Yunnan. For example, the Kunming Southeast Ring Project, or the Kunyang-Yuxi High-Speed Rail, now under construction, extends to southern Yunnan; the Guangtong-Dali High-Speed Rail extends to western Yunnan. They both have a design speed of 200 km/h and the construction is speeding up. In time, Kunming will not only join the national high-speed rail network but also radiate to western and southern Yunnan by high-grade railways. (Cao Jie)

Chongqing-Kunming High-speed Railway is expected to kick off construction next year.
After this line is completed, it'll take only 3 hours from Chongqing to Kunming by trains.
Chongqing-Kunming HSR
Total length:600 km
Designed speed:350 km/h
Duration:48 months (2016~2020)
Yunnan to enter high-speed rail era next year
By high-speed rail, it will take four hours to travel from Kunming to Changsha, capital of central China’s Hunan Province and about ten hours to reach Shanghai. Whether for sightseeing or on business, this is really promising! So, how is construction of Shanghai-Kunming High-Speed Rail, Yunnan-Guangxi High-Speed Rail and the Kunming South High-Speed Railway Station? When will Yunnan usher in the high-speed rail era? As we recently learnt from Kunming Railway Bureau recently, the construction of Shanghai-Kunming High-Speed Rail is progressing rapidly; it will be ready for integrated commissioning and testing next June and will go into full operation by the end of next year.
According to Zhang Caichun, deputy secretary of Kunming Railway Bureau committee of the CPC, the Yunnan-Guangxi High-Speed Rail will also go into operation by the end of next year after integrated commissioning and testing. Currently, its bridges and most roadbeds have been completed, and the construction of communications, signalling, electric power, traction power supply and house-building projects are going on smoothly.
In the national “Mid- and Long-Term Railway Network Plan”, the Shanghai-Kunming High-Speed Rail is one of China’s “four vertical and four horizontal” fast passenger transport channels. Also known as the Shanghai-Kunming Passenger Line, it runs from Shanghai in the east and Kunming in the west; it will be the longest east-west high-speed rail and will pass through the largest number of provinces. It will call at Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Changsha, Guiyang and Kunming, with a total length of 2,264 km and a design speed of 350 km/h. The Yunnan-Guangxi High-Speed Rail is a trunk railway in the national “Mid- and Long-Term Railway Network Plan” and it will be the most convenient railway channel to connect Yunnan with the southeast coastal region. The main line of the Yunnan-Guangxi High-Speed Railway will be 434 km in length; the design speed is 200 km/h, which can be increased to 250 km/h when necessary.

High-speed trains pass major speed test of 385 km/hour
By Lyu Chang and Xie Chuanjiao (chinadaily.com.cn)

China's 350 km/h-electric trains reached a speed of 385 kilometers per hour in a test, signaling that domestic high-speed trains have passed a "major test", which means they will be put into operation next year.
The model that runs the railway line from Datong in Shanxi province to Xi'an, capital of Southwest China's Shannxi province was developed by Qingdao Sifang Co Ltd, a subsidiary of Chinese train maker CRRC Corp Ltd.
The model high-speed multiple unit with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour rolled off the production line in June, opening doors for more exports of high-speed trains, said Liang Jianying, a chief engineer at Qingdao Sifang.
"We have independent intellectual property rights for this model, which meets the standards of the international level with a focus on innovation in safety, comfort and energy-saving," he said.
"Evaluations on technical performance have been very good, and the results meet all design standards, paving the way for the future operation of the high-speed trains," he said.
CRRC said the model still needs to run some heavy-duty tests before it can operate on the 600,000 kilometer-rail network next year.
