World’s longest bullet train line opens in China

by Laura Domela

High-speed rail has hit another milestone, this time in China, with the opening of the world’s longest bullet train line.

The 1,425-mile high-speed rail system runs from Beijing to Guangzhou, reducing the time travelers would spend commuting between the capital and the manufacturing city from 22 hours to a scant 8 hours.

Traveling at an average speed of 186 mph, the line stops in Shijiazhuang, Zhengzhou, Wuhan and Changsha before arriving at its final destination in Guangzhou.
