Watch it again: Ride on Beijing-Xiong'an high-speed railway

An intercity high-speed railway line linking Beijing and Xiong'an New Area in Hebei province is launched on Sunday.

Initially, trains will take about 50 minutes to travel from Beijing West Railway Station in the capital's Fengtai district to Xiong'an Railway Station in Xiongxian county, according to China Railway Beijing Group.

The Beijing-Xiong'an Intercity Railway is the first major transport facility involving the Xiong'an New Area to be constructed since the new economic zone was established in April 2017.
