Tourists to Southwest China's Yunnan province will enjoy a more convenient and 'superhero' travel experience as a new high-speed railway connecting the provincial capital, Kunming, and Mengzi city was put into operation on Saturday.
The trains for the line are painted green and nicknamed "the Hulk", the superhero created by Stan Lee for Marvel.
The CR200J model trains can run up to 160 kilometers per hour, shortening the travel time between the two cities by about one hour.
