It was on December 10th that Hukun (Shanghai to Kunming) High-speed Railway traveled through Changsha. While Wuhan-Guangzhou High-speed Railway traveled through Changsha 5 years ago.Yesterday at 8:00 am, in Hangchang (Hangzhou to Changsha) Section of Hukun High-speed Railway, the first high-speed rail G1346 train started to run from Changsha to Shanghai which will arrived at Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station five hours and twenty minutes later.
Since both Jingguang(Beijing to Guangzhou) High-speed Railway and Hukun (Shanghai to Kunming) High-speed Railway traveled through Changsha, Changsha has developed a new crossing high speed system. Outside Huan province, trains from Changsha will run to 16 municipalities directly under the central government or provincial capital cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, as well as tourist cites like Guilin, Qingdao and Xiamen. Within Hunan province, trains from Changsha will run to Yueyang,Zhuzhou,Hengyang, Chenzhou and Yongzhou. While those to Huaihua, Shaoyang, Loudi and Xiangtan are also started to run later.
