On September 21, 2017, China increased the maximum speed of its bullet trains on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway to 350 km/h.
But it’s not the fastest passenger train in the world. That record belongs to a Chinese maglev rail line that uses magnetic levitation instead of wheels. The trains travel at speeds up to 430 km/h on the 29.863 km line linking the Pudong International Airport and the city proper.
When it comes to records, China’s railway system is a front runner.
Get ready to be "in the know" about China’s railway records.
