China launched its first high-speed rail line that will travel across ocean bays, skimming along the coast of Fujian near the Taiwan Strait.
A bullet train departed from Fuzhou yesterday, setting up the opening of the 277-kilometer Fuzhou-Xiamen-Zhangzhou railway, Xinhua News Agency reported.
It is China’s first cross-sea, rapid line with bullet trains that will travel over bridges across three coastal bays, hit top speeds of 350 km per hour and travel between Fuzhou and Xiamen in under an hour.
By 2022, China had 42,000 km of operational high-speed railway, and the length of high-speed rail regularly operating at 350 kmh near 3,200 km as of last June.
Wuhan this week unveiled its first commercial suspended monorail line.
