Southwest China's Guizhou province, one of the poorest in the nation, has planned to build an express railway between its capital Guiyang and Guangzhou, capital of rich Guangdong province.
Trains will complete the journey from Guiyang to Guangzhou in just 4 hours, boosting trade between Guizhou and the Pearl River Delta, said Lin Shusen, acting governor of Guizhou Province, at a recent Guizhou-Hong Kong trade seminar.
Currently trains need 17 hours to do the journey.
