Picture a Day: Shanghai 1
Shanghai South Station platform for Hangzhou D-class bullet train - trip time 1h18m for 173km
Having relocated to Shanghai, I hope to be getting together some interesting stuff over the next while – at the very least, I’ll attempt to post a picture a day or so, and I’ve organized it so that you can see all the photos right here on this site, or by viewing my PaD Shanghai set on Flickr.
Edit: the Chinese government just announced that construction would begin on a long-planned high speed railway corridor between Shanghai and Hangzhou, reducing the trip time to 38 minutes over a 160km route with train speeds up to 350km/hr!!! I believe the current D-class bullet trains are capable of this speed already, so it’s just a matter of building high-speed track between the two cities.
