China Modern Rail Summit 2010 will provide project updates, showcase the latest in technology solutions and provide insight into accessing China’s massive stimulus package for transport infrastructure projects within different cities.
Tianjin Intercity Railway (京津城际铁路) is a 114 km high-speed rail line between Beijing and Tianjin in China. It was put into service on August 1, 2008 and CRH trains running on the line at a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph) are the fastest conventional trains in the world. The 120 km journey between Beijing and Tianjin, a city co-hosting football matches at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, was shortened from the original 70 minutes to 30 minutes. After arriving Tianjin by train, you will be treated to lunch at the Chateau Dynasty, followed by a guided winery tour.
