China has officially opened the world's longest high-speed rail route, linking the capital Beijing with the southern commercial hub of Guangzhou.
中国正式开通世界上最长的高铁线路,该线路连接首都北京与南方商业中心广州。
China's high-speed railway has been expanding rapidly in recent years
The first bullet train left Beijing on Wednesday morning. Trains will initially travel at 300km/h, more than halving travel time.
A Chinese official has described the route - parts of which were already in operation - as "one of the most technically advanced in the world".
The 2,298km route will have 35 stops.
They include such major cities as Wuhan and Changsha.
The previously 22-hour journey will now take less than 10 hours.
The decision was taken to start the passenger service on 26 December to commemorate the birth of former Chinese leader Mao Zedong, state media said.
China is currently expanding its high-speed rail network across the vast country.
