China's New High Speed Rail
A week before the Olympic Games, China has launched its first super high-speed intercity rail route.
The 120-km (75-mile) line will shuttle athletes and spectators between Beijing and neighbouring Tianjin, where Olympic football matches will be held.
Trains will reach speeds of 350 km/h, cutting journey times between the cities from 70 to 30 minutes.
Project completed in 3 years!
