Instead of Porsche or Maserati, groom He Xueqiang in Southwest China's Yunnan province is meeting his bride in what is likely the most expensive vehicle: a high-speed train, which has a production cost of hundreds of millions of yuan.

But rather than showing off his wealth or proving the value of his love, the young man is opting for the train due to its efficiency, as his wife-to-be Zhang Ruili lives 700 kilometers away.

With the train, he could get married more than five hours earlier, down from 10 hours if he was driving, even though the wedding day fell on Monday, the first day of the 2019 Spring Festival travel rush - the largest annual human migration in the world.
