Chinese technicians examine CRH (China Railway High-speed) bullet trains of Guiguang (Guiyang-Guangzhou) High-Speed Rail Line at a maintenance station in Chengdu city, southwest China's Sichuan province, 25 December 2014. The first high-speed train to operate on the recently finished Guiguang and Nanguang railways set off from the southwestern city of Guiyang on Friday (26 December 2014) Morning. The new high-speed railways will upgrade railway networks in Southwest China's Guizhou province, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region and the South Guangdong province. With a total investment of 125.9 billion yuan ($20.28 billion), and a construction time of 6 years, they will help serve 192 million people across the three provinces. The 856-km Guiguang high-speed rail line reduces travel time between Guiyang, capital city of Guizhou Province and Guangdong's capital city of Guangzhou from 21 hours to 4 hours and 9 minutes. The 574-km Nanguang high-speed railway, a section of Guiguang railway, slashes travel time between Nanning, capital city of Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region to Guangzhou from 13 hours to 3 hours and 19 minutes. Li Shengming, a passenger of Train D2805, is heading for Guangzhou for an eight-day trip. The train set off from Guiyang North Railway Station at 9 am and is expected to arrive in Guangzhou at 2:47 pm with seven stops altogether. The train, loaded to capacity, will pass through the mountainous regions of Guizhou, crossing through tunnels and passing by several ethnic villages.
