New HSR eyes linking Guangxi to Vietnam

Qin Fenghua, a native of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, was jubilant to know that a new high-speed railway linking regional capital Nanning and Pingxiang, which borders Vietnam, is almost ready.

Pingxiang, a county-level city under the prefecture-level city of Chongzuo, is to see the Chongzuo-Pingxiang HSR start operating by year-end, said Gong Hongyao, Party chief of the team from State builder China Railway No 4 Engineering Group.

By Thursday, three newly completed railway stations — Pingxiang East, Longzhou, and Ningming East — on the Chongzuo-Pingxiang HSR were ready for locomotive debugging and commissioning.
