China to expand its high speed rail lines as China’s bullet trains make five billion trips – All engines go

According to valuable sources it is learnt that China’s high speed railway industry is continuing to grow in leaps and bounds as it is documented that over 5 billion passenger journeys have taken place since its inception back in 2008. Furthermore the China Railway Corporation has taken measures to increase the length of its rail lines by double its present standing in order to accommodate a growing interest amongst travellers wanting to travel across China by bullet train. This vision is seen as being a major impact on the local economy and will also aim to attract more foreign visitors to the country who for instance look for star class accommodation and luxury travel opportunities that do not cost too much. The country aims to invest a total of 800 billion yuan in fixed assets this year in view of expanding the railway network. Also it is likely that there will be a 24% increase in its railway network commencing from 2015 coupled with a massive 58% turnover in high speed rail. Therefore commuters and future travellers arriving in China will be able to partake in this expansion programme and for instance those staying at hotels or resort properties in the country like Anantara Guiyang Resort which is one among the numerous Guiyang hotel options that are sure to benefit from this.
