High Speed Railways Linking Guangzhou with Guiyang, Nanning Open in China
Two high-speed railways linking the southern city of Guangzhou with southwest city of Guiyang and southern city of Nanning have been put into operation today.
Travel time between Guangzhou and Guiyang has been cut from 22 hours to four. The line stretches more than 850 kilometers, and the train has a top speed of 250 kilometers an hour. It travels through the mountainous areas of Guizhou and Guangxi.
More than 80 percent of the route runs over bridges or through tunnels. In the Guizhou section, bullet trains enter tunnels every minute. The Guiyang-Guangzhou high-speed railway is the first of its kind for the region, opening access to coastal ports.
The Guangzhou-Nanning line covers 577 kilometers and shortens travel time between the two cities to about three hours. Guangxi and Guizhou are the labor pool of the Southeast China's economic areas. The two high-speed railways promote the labor flow of these places.
