00:30

Workers on Monday finished laying tracks for the Beijing-Xiong'an intercity railway, a key project for the integration and coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The last 500-meter stretch of tracks was laid down on the railway line in Xiong'an New Area, located in north China's Hebei Province. The section from Beijing West to Daxing International Airport opened in September 2019, and the Hebei section is expected to become operational by the end of 2020, when it will also serve the construction of Xiong'an New Area.
