Only seeing is believing. Although I know the Shanghai Beijing Express Railway started construction on April 18, 2008, I didn’t realized that there is big progress there. On March 17, 2009, Wendy and I drove to Suzhou, and along the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway (A11), you see the poles of the tracks are already completed.
The 1318 km high-speed railway will enable specialized CRH trains to run at 350 km/h, that cut the total travel time to Beijing to 5 hours, from current 10.
Below are two photos of the poles completed. It is very long – I saw at least 5 km of track like this.

According to reports, 80% of the 1318 km will be constructed like shown on the photos: elevated to save land, and reduce noises.

Transportation cost in China is very high.
This will be the end of excuses not to visit Shanghai every so often! (The present-day excuses are: “It takes forever even by plane — all that wait at the airports!” or “I can’t sleep in the overnight train!”)
