The high-speed railway in Jiangsu

A Chinese netizen recently posted a map of China's nationwide high-speed railway network in the format of a city subway system. The straightforward and clear map has aroused people's desire to travel in this readily convenient way.

How can CRH (China Railway High-Speed) trains bring you to Jiangsu?
The high-speed railway system in China is rapidly expanding and has already spread throughout much of the country. It has linked the northernmost parts of the country to the most southerly, and westerly to easterly. Jiangsu province, located on the fringe of East China, is one of the most easily accessible areas, benefitting from three directly linked railway lines from Beijing, Kunming and Shenzhen. Take Beijing, the capital of China, as an example. The high-speed route to Shanghai cuts travel time to 5 hours and covers a distance of 1318 kilometers (818 miles). It runs on a busy schedule as trains set out every other half hour. Two railway lines spanning Central China, connect cities like Lanzhou and Chengdu with Jiangsu province.

Starting from the provincial capital Nanjing, along the Qinhuai River, the city has thousands of years of history to explore. The Presidential Palace and Confucius Temple are also much favored tourist sites. A variety of traditional snacks, such as sugar triangles, soup buns, and duck blood and vermicelli soup can be found in many restaurants in the city, such as the much-famed Liu Chang Xing and Lv Liu Ju.
