The new express rail line linking the cities of Kunming and Dali of Yunnan came into operation here on Sunday. The 328 km railway allows high-speed trains to run at 200 km per hour. Travel time between Kunming and Dali, one of the most popular tourist destinations of the province, is cut from more than five hours to two hours. [Photo/Xinhua]

Zhao Hongwei, chief engineer with the China Academy of Railway Sciences, said that the longer train is more efficient and has better performance.

Designed and manufactured in China, the Fuxing -- Rejuvenation -- debuted on the Beijing-Shanghai line in June 2017. The trains are more spacious and reliable with a longer service life than previous models.
