Discover China Railways

The story of Chinese Railways (CR) is a tale of continuous expansion, innovation, and ambition. From the early steam-powered locomotives introduced in the late 19th century Qing dynasty to the world-famous high-speed trains that crisscross the country today, China's rail network has become a symbol of the nation's rapid development.

It's no surprise then that the network today has become one of the biggest and busiest in the world with over 155,000 km of track, serving billions of passengers each year. It's also one of the most technologically advanced, featuring the fastest trains operating today. The Shanghai Maglev can reach an impressive 460km/h top speed and the CR Fuxing 'Golden Phoenix' rivals other high-speed icons like the ICE with a top speed of 350km/h.
