China's first cross-sea high-speed railway, designed to run at a top speed of 350 kilometers per hour (km/h), is set to enter operation on September 28 in east China's Fujian Province, said the country's railway operator on Tuesday.
The railway is expected to connect Fuzhou and Xiamen, two major cities in Fujian Province, slashing travel time between the two to just 55 minutes, according to the China State Railway Group Co., Ltd.
Extending 277 kilometers in total, the railway will run through the cities of Fuzhou, Putian, Quanzhou, Xiamen and Zhangzhou, said the operator.

The construction of the railway began in September 2017.
The railway will feature various intelligent technologies, including the Internet of Things, edge computing and geographic information system, to ensure safe and sound operation, the operator added.
Located on the southeastern coast of China, Fujian Province boasts vast cultural and tourism resources and is also famed for playing a key role in the country's opening up.
