Kunming-Chongqing bullet train runs, travel much easier

With the Chongqing-Guiyang line put into service Jan. 25, the G2886 bullet train departed Kunmingnan Railway Station for Chongqing and Chengdu for the first time this morning.

Passing through Guiyang, the train is expected to reduce the Kunming-Chongqing trip from 24 hours to 4 hours and 46 minutes. The Kunming-Chengdu train trip is shortened from 20 hours to 6.5 hours. 

In the coming days, five pairs of bullet trains will have daily run between Kunming and Chongqing/Chengdu.
