Superfast Hyperloop to take shape in Guizhou

When the hyperloop frenzy started in 2013, it was just tech magnate Elon Musk's wild idea about the next-generation of travel.

Five years later, the superfast vacuum-tube transportation system is taking shape in Southwestern China's Guizhou province.

Hyperloop Transportation Technologies Inc, a company based in the United States working on the concept of an ultra-high-speed hyperloop, signed a deal on Thursday with State-owned Tongren Transport, Tourism and Investment Group, to build a superfast track in Tongren, Guizhou province.
