“The opening of the new 2,298-kilometre (1,425-mile) line between Beijing and Guangzhou means passengers will be whisked from the capital to the southern commercial hub in just eight hours, compared with the 22 hours previously required.  Trains will travel at an average speed of 300 kilometres per hour over the line, which includes 35 stops in major cities such as Zhengzhou, Wuhan on the Yangtze River and Changsha.  China’s high-speed rail network was established in 2007, but has fast become the world’s largest. Xinhua said that China now operates 9,300 kilometres of high-speed railways.”
