The Hangzhou Bay Cross Sea Bridge is completed on June 26, 2007

The Hangzhou Bay Cross Sea Bridge, the longest cross sea bridge in the world, was completed on June 26, 2007.

Constructed by many Chinese central SOEs including China Railway Group Limited and China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, the bridge was completely self-developed.

The manufacturing and welding of all the steel box girders of the bridge passed the necessary examinations at record speed for this type of bridge.

The bridge shortens travel distance and time between Ningbo and Zhoushan and cities on the northern bank of Hangzhou Bay.

In addition, it improves the traffic network in affected areas and completes the nearby logistics network, which promotes the integration of regional transportation.

China's Fuxing bullet train departs from Beijing and Shanghai for the first time on June 26, 2017

China's Fuxing bullet train departed from Beijing and Shanghai for the first time on June 26, 2017.

Completely developed by CRRC Corporation Limited, the Fuxing bullet train has a life span ten years longer than the Hexie (Harmony) bullet trains.

In addition, the Fuxing bullet trains can travel as fast as 350 kilometers per hour with larger body sections and space. The running resistance of the train was lowered by more than 7.5 percent and its energy consumption per hundred kilometers per person reduced by 17 percent.

The inside noise level also went down by one to three dB.

The Hexie and Fuxing bullet trains are examples of "China Standard" bullet trains, also known as electric multiple units (EMUs), which means that all high-speed trains with the same speed level are able to couple up during operation.
