National railway corp gets new GM
By China Daily (China Daily) Updated: 2016-10-10 07:53
Lu Dongfu, general manager of China Railway Corp
Lu Dongfu, 61, was appointed general manager of China Railway Corp on Sunday, replacing Sheng Guangzu, 67.
Lu was formerly vice-minister of transport and head of the National Railway Administration. He was also vice-minister of the Ministry of Railways before it underwent corporate restructuring in 2013 as a corporation.
Lu, a native of Jiangsu province, started his career at the Ministry of Transport in 1973. He spent most of his working life until 2003 at the Shanghai Railway Bureau. He was then named vice-minister of railways.
His predecessor, Sheng, is a native of Jiangsu province and was the last railway minister under the old structure.
China is progressing rapidly in the development of high-speed railways. According to China Railway Corp, about 4,200 bullet trains run in China each day, serving more than 4.5 million passengers.
In July, the National Development and Reform Commission, the country's top economic planner, issued a national railway development plan that envisions a 175,000-km rail network by the end of 2025. China would then have 38,000 km of high-speed railway.

还在大陆吗？
You made the very right choice to use HSR!
How was the scenery on Hefei-Fuzhou HSR?
They say it's the best.....but I'm afraid the name is out of tourism, unfair to many other HSRs!

已经回来，兄。
From Fuzhou to Hefei, it is like 2/3rd is through tunnels, even for the shortest and not so high natural obstacles. I understand that that's entirely for environmental concern; they did not cut the low lying hills open, instead, built a tunnel through them.
Nonetheless, the scenery is so beautiful, mountains are still lush green. Reminded me strongly of Taiwan (considering how close the province is to Taiwan, not surprising TP-FZ about 1 hour and 10minutes flight).
I have seen so many new lines being built. But the max speed was not too high, 290 average up to Hefei. From Hefei to Jinan, 310km/h. When the speed reduced to 200, I almost wanted to get off; it felt so slow.
I talked to a friend who just took Beijing-Shanghai and she told me the max speed was 380km/h.
