Two high-speed railways open in E. China
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-09-28 13:47 FUZHOU: Two high-speed passenger railway lines linking east China's Fujian Province with neighboring Zhejiang Province went into operation Monday, which greatly shorten the travel time from mountainous Fujian to the Yangtze River Delta.
The other line links Wenzhou with Ningbo cities, both in Zhejiang. The two lines, about 580 km in total, began construction in 2004 and 2005 respectively. The railways, linked with lines to Shanghai, also cut the travel time from Fuzhou to Shanghai from 11hours to about five hours. Fujian, on the western side of the Taiwan Strait, is an important destination for Taiwan residents when visiting the mainland. However, road traffic from Fujian to other provinces has been congested. The new lines will help tackle this problem. The railway official said that another four high-speed railway lines are under construction in Fujian to link cities including Xiamen and Putian in two to three years. |
