Answer 1

The Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway, first built in 2005, went into operation on Dec. 26th,2009. The high-speed line, which covers a distance of 1086 kilometres, runs across three provinces: Hubei, Hunan and Guangong. The most exciting thing is that the train can reach a speed of 350 km per hour, which is now the fastest in the world and thus shortens (cuts) the travel time between Guangzhou and Wuhan from ten hours to only three! Moreover, the high-speed train is well-equipped with all necessary facilities and is more humane as well as safe and comfortable.

   However, what is not so satisfactory is that the fares are a lttle too high for common people and the station is relatively far from the city centre.
