The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area just leveled up its transportation game! 🌟 Two new railway sections opened on Sunday, creating the region's longest intercity rail network at 258 kilometers – that’s longer than the distance from London to Paris!
Dubbed the 'veins of the region,' this route connects economic hubs like Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, and more with 39 stops. Need speed? 🚀 Fast trains zip between key cities at 200 km/h, stopping at just 14 stations. With trains every 26 minutes, it’s perfect for weekend explorers and daily commuters alike.
This mega-project strengthens cross-regional cooperation, making business travel and cultural exchanges smoother than ever. Think: quick dim sum trips to Hong Kong or tech meetups in Shenzhen – all within a breezy ride! 💼🥟
