Ningxia opened its first high-speed railway on Sunday. The 207-km-long railway links three cities in the region including Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia, Wuzhong and Zhongwei with a maximum design speed of 250 kph. The railway will reduce travel time between Yinchuan and Zhongwei by more than an hour. (Xinhua/Jia Haocheng)
