Members of the Lisu ethnic group give fresh fruits as gifts to passengers on a bullet train in Dechang, Sichuan province, on Monday. It was the first Fuxing bullet train to depart from Sichuan's Liangshan Yi autonomous prefecture, a mountainous ethnic area once afflicted by the most entrenched poverty in China. Sections of a new Chengdu-Kunming Railway, with longer bridges and tunnels shortening the line and increasing its speed, were recently put into operation. [Photo/CHINA NEWS SERVICE]
