A high-speed train passes over a bridge along the Panzhou-Xingyi High-Speed Railway in Southwest China's Guizhou province on Friday. The new high-speed railway, which opened that day, stretches 99 kilometers, connecting Panzhou with Xingyi and is designed for speeds of 250 kilometers per hour. The inauguration of the new line marks a historic moment, signaling a new chapter of growth for the province and unlocking tourism potential for the picturesque region, after overcoming substantial construction challenges of traversing complex terrain.
