China will open the Beijing – Guangzhou line which will be the longest high speed rail line
From
A high-speed railway between Beijing and Guangzhou will open in two weeks' time, the Chinese Railways Ministry said yesterday. It will offer the longest bullet-train ride in the world and cut the journey time between the two cities to less than eight hours.
When services begin on December 26 – the 119th anniversary of the birth of late Communist Party patriarch Mao Zedong – the 2,298-kilometre (1428 miles) line will eclipse the high-speed railway between Beijing and Shanghai. That 1,318-kilometre (819 miles) route opened in June last year.
Map of planned and completed routes for China's high speed rail network. There are 4 main north-south lines and 4 main east -west lines.
