New high-speed railway line more advanced, eco-friendly

Trains running on the line will initially travel at a top speed of 300 kilometers per hour, the company said, but its maximum design speed is 350 km/h.

A section of the route from Harbin to Shenyang, Liaoning, was put into operation in 2012. Another section from Shenyang to Chengde, Hebei, began service in 2018. The 192-km section from Chengde to Beijing opened on Friday.

To reduce noise from railway operations, engineers designed a 1,840-meter "tunnel-like" sound barrier on the section that passes a residential area between Beijing's fourth and fifth ring roads.
