CHINA-GUIZHOU-ZUNYI-YAN'AN-HIGH SPEED RAIL-OPERATION (CN)

(260126) -- ZUNYI, Jan. 26, 2026 (Xinhua) -- Passengers take the high-speed train G3360 in southwest China's Guizhou Province, Jan. 26, 2026. Starting Jan. 26, the sacred revolutionary sites of Zunyi, southwest China's Guizhou Province, and Yan'an in northwest China's Shaanxi Province was linked by a direct high-speed rail service under the national railway schedule for the first quarter of 2026.

The adjustment will fill the gap in high-speed rail services connecting the southwestern regions of Sichuan, Guizhou, and Chongqing with Yan'an, according to China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd. on Thursday.

The high-speed train ride from Zunyi to Yan'an will take just eight hours and 49 minutes, a big improvement compared to the original train, which took more than 16 hours. Meanwhile, the trip from Yan'an to Zunyi will only take eight hours and 7 minutes. (Xinhua/Yang Wenbin)
