@AndrewJin

South Xinjiang and Tibet looks bereft of HSR.

I know the terrain there is not easy but what the heck, this should be the in the plan.

@cirr

By the way, not only is your HSR network extensive and beautiful, but so are your expressways.

The pictures of the expressways are fantastically beautiful,

However, I think expressways should not be in this thread. Maybe start a new one!

I'd like to add some lines!

The End

@AndrewJin has taken this Hefei-Wuhan HSR (part of Shanghai-Wuhan-Chengdu HSR) for at least 30 times. But every time I will be once again re-amazed by the stunning scenery along this railway. Best wishes to everyone who contributes to this vial corridor, you make this railway more beautiful!

Can't wait for the second season!

HSR...one in my wishlist...that's it.

Which line are you interested in?

It is hard not making truck loads of money with this crowd.

It is hard not making truck loads of money with this crowd.

I couldn't image the crazy crowd at all scenic spots in China.
I prefer to stay at home on all public holidays.
Unless I have to visit my relatives during spring festival.
But thanks to HSR, even during spring festival, bullet trains are fine, a little crowded(maybe 20% standing) but not that terrible on conventional trains 10 years ago.
Decent travel, not like a refugee on the go!

One critical function of China's HSR is the growing domestic consumption which created a self sustaining economy and lots of domestic companies with amazing competitive products.

China retail sales up 10 pct in May
Xinhua, June 13, 2016

China's retail sales of consumer goods grew 10 percent year on year in May, compared with the 10.1-percent growth for April, official data showed on Monday.

In the first five months, retail sales were up 10.2 percent year on year, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.

Urban consumers accounted for the lion's share of the increase though rural consumer spending climbed faster than their urban peers.

Online sales in the first five months rose 27.7 percent year on year.

Retail sales have contributed significantly to China's economic growth as the country shifts from an export-driven economy to a consumer society.

I noticed that Mainland's consumer market has already moved beyond cash and credit card to mobile payment, especially for youngsters, something Taiwan province lags behind.

Damn! my country, Australia also lags behind in mobile payment.

Or more accurately, I am lagging behind with mobile payment.

It is probably the next big thing; that is, internet of things, connecting everything from ordering food to customizing and "ordering" a brand new car by your cell phone.
