Experiencing the opening of China's very first high-speed railway

The Beijing high-speed line would be 117 kilometres in length with 100 kilometres running along a precast concrete elevated viaduct. Construction started in July 2005 with the first fully operational services going into operation on 1 August 2008. Each train, with speeds over 300km/hr could carry up to 600 seated passengers with trains departing and arriving every few minutes.
