Hangzhou : A new high-speed railway connecting Hangzhou and Wenzhou, two major economic hubs in east China’s Zhejiang Province, began operations on Friday.
With a designed speed of 350 km per hour, the 276 km railway features nine stations in cities such as the provincial capital Hangzhou, the small-commodity hub Yiwu, and the province’s third-largest city Wenzhou.
The railway will strengthen transportation links between cities in the Yangtze River Delta, one of China’s most economically vibrant regions, according to Zhejiang Communications Investment Group Co.
