Ziyang, southwest China's Sichuan province, March 5, 2014. The 308-km railway will reduce travel time between the two large cities to about one hour. It is part of the Shanghai-Wuhan-Chengdu Railway, or Huhanrong Railway, a major east-west high-speed rail corridor outlined in China's national high-speed railway development plan.

Many railways are under construction it's just amazing. Personally, I take the train for different speeds like 60km/h 90km/h 120km/h 220km/h 350km/h if the figure not wrong, I still remember that I take the train from Hunan to Guangzhou consume 14 hrs in year 2000. Currently, no more than 3 hrs. Four times more efficiency proved that China really make rapid progress.

The CRH 500 which reported to have achieved the speed of 605 Kmph. When I looked at some reports, it sure didn't mention any field test. I found reports on Lab Test Track.

Hukun line will be ready this year. Personally, I travel by Wuguang line much.

Photo taken on March 11, 2014 shows the snow-topped entrance to the world's highest high-speed railway tunnel in northwest China's Qinghai Province. Located in the desolate Qilian Mountains at an average altitude of 3,600 to 4,300 meters above sea level, the world's highest high-speed railway tunnel is expected to be completed by April this year. Constructing the tunnel is considered one of most difficult parts of the process of developing the line linking Lanzhou, the capital city of Gansu Province, with Urumqi, the capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The 1,776-kilometer Lanxin railway line runs across the Gansu and Qinghai provinces to Xinjiang, traversing the wind-ravaged Gobi Desert. [Photo: chinanews.com

China to connect more cities with high speed trains

Press Trust of India | Beijing
March 16, 2014
Last Updated at 19:35 IST

China today said it plans to connect more cities with high speed railway network to facilitate rapid urbanisation.

The 2014-2020 urbanisation plan unveiled by the Chinese cabinet said regular railways would cover cities with over 200,000 residents by 2020 and high-speed railways will connect those with above 500,000 residents.

China also aims to expand the civil aviation network, covering about 90 per cent of the total population.

The plan said efforts would be made to strengthen connectivity among city clusters and to improve transport services for small cities and towns.
