The longest high speed train route in the world, 2400 km from Beijing to Shenzhen, was completed not long ago. After an accident, it now runs at around 300 km/h even though it was designed for 380 km/h. The train stopped briefly at Shijiazhuang, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Changsa and Guangzhou before arriving at Shenzhen North station.

| Further south, Central China is more mountainous but still green and densely cultivated. |
