Our Guide to Chinese Railways and China Trains

The Chinese Rail Network is vast covering a total length of 78,000 kilometers making only the rail systems of the USA and Russia larger. This may end up changing rapidly as the aim is for there to be 120,000 km of track by 2020 with a staggering US$292 billion being invested to achieve this over the next 10 years.

All of this is necessary though with such a huge population where rail travel is already the most popular method for covering long distances. This is all good news for the China traveller who currently enjoys the possibility of 36,300 train departures a day with that number set to rapidly increase.
