A section of the Shanghai-Kunming (Yunnan province) high-speed railway line that will connect the city of Guiyang, capital of remote Guizhou province with the city of Xinhuang, in Hunan province is expected to open, on June 16.
This new line means that the people of Guiyang can reach more than 10 major cities in the rest of China easily by train – such as the capital Beijing, the mega city of Shanghai, Changsha in Hunan province and Nanjing in Jiangsu province – all without making a transfer.
