How do you cope with moving a world full of people? With over 1 billion people in the country, China has got the answer - High Speed Trains. No other country has expanded its rail transport as quickly as China. At over 29,000 km, China’s high-speed rail network today accounts for more than the length of the rest of the world’s high-speed rail tracks combined. How did they do it? 

 

Delve deep into the cutting edge technology that builds, operates and maintains China’s massive high-speed rail system. Follow a train enthusiast who travels across China to teach English to rail staff. Break urban-rural migration patterns as new generation of young entrepreneurs return to their village to revive the traditions. With China at High Speed, see how the future of travel is changing along the Silk Road, from rail and beyond.
