Shenzhen is expected to link with Shanghai via the Xiamen-Shenzhen line by the end of this year. Shenzhen Municipal Transport Commission officials said the rail will shorten the travel time between Shenzhen and Xiamen to three hours. At present, a bus trip takes at least eight hours and a train trip from Guangzhou to Xiamen takes about 13 hours. The Shenzhen section of the rail is in structural construction and scheduled to start laying track in June. Related Article |
