Jinghu High-Speed

The world’s fastest scheduled trains: 350 km/h Fuxing sets covering 1,318 km in under four and a half hours.

More than four-fifths of the route rides on viaduct, a stilted causeway of standardised spans that lets full-speed running ignore the soft alluvial plain below. Out of Beijing South the Fuxing crosses the Yellow River at Jinan, skirts holy Mount Tai and leaps the Yangtze at Nanjing on the Dashengguan Bridge. It is also the railway that pays its way: the busiest and most profitable line in China’s high-speed empire, moving well over 100 million passengers a year.
