A Fuxing bullet train departed on Tuesday morning from Guiyang, Guizhou province, inaugurating the Guiyang-Libo section of the Guiyang-Nanning High-Speed Railway.

As the fastest railway in the province, with a designed speed of 350 kilometers per hour, it shortens the travel time between Guiyang and Libo to 57 minutes.

The 175-km railway links Qiannan Bouyei and Miao autonomous prefecture's Longli county, Guiding county, Duyun city and Libo county, which makes travel to places along the railway a breeze.
