"I am standing here right now in the middle of the train tracks. In just 8 weeks from now, there will be a train running through here. This might probably the last time I will have this opportunity, maybe the only time of course to stand in the middle of the train tracks. As you can see behind me, these guys are working seven days a week 24 hours a day, not these guys in particular, but of course you understand: it's non-stop here. That's the energy of China's new railway train construction. As we just witnessed from the Wuhan-Guangzhou line, now we have a train, this will go all the way to Zhuhai which is just close to Macao. This will open to the public maybe 8 weeks. Around the clock is the attitude here. It's the energy of the moment and it's really the process of history being made as China develops the most advanced railway system on the planet, and it’s all happening now as you can see. "
A high-speed railway connecting Guangzhou, the provincial capital, to Zhuhai Special Economic Zone, which borders Macao, built by South China's Guangdong Province will be put into use by the end of the year.
It will take about 40 minutes for the train journey compared with the two hours needed for a car ride on the Guangzhou-Zhuhai Expressway. CRI Reporter Lance Crayon brings you the latest news from Guangzhou-Zhuhai high speed railway construction site.
