Southern high-speed rail link set to launch
A HIGH-speed rail link is scheduled to launch between two major south China cities today, and will be further extended to nearby Hong Kong, railway authorities said over the weekend.
The line will connect Guangzhou and Shenzhen, both in the province of Guangdong, a manufacturing belt adjacent to Hong Kong, shortening the travel time between the two cities to just 35 minutes, officials said.
A total of 36 pairs of China-made CRH3 bullet trains will serve the 102-kilometer line, traveling at up to 300 kilometers per hour, they added. A one-way ticket will cost 100 yuan (US$15.87) for first-class seats and 75 yuan for second-class seats.
In 2012, the government plans to cut spending in railway infrastructure construction to 400 billion yuan, down from 469 billion yuan this year.
