China has unveiled what it bills as the fastest rail link in the world -- a train connecting the modern cities of Guangzhou and Wuhan at an average speed of 350 kilometres an hour.

The super-high-speed train reduces the 1069 kilometre journey to a three hour ride and cuts the previous journey time by more than seven and a half hours, the official Xinhua news agency said.

Interesting! I recall travelling across China cities in 2006 via their interesting and extensive train networks. An American told me the USA has no such extensive train network? Where other regions of the word can one travel through different cities and areas via trains, Europe, Russia, South America?

Regards & Happy New Year from Green Mango Inn of Manila, The Philippines :D
