Liputan6.com, Jakarta - On top of a sophisticatedly constructed railway, the fastest land mode of transportation travels in unprecedented speed. Such infrastructure development is what currently makes China one of the most technologically-advanced nations in a global scale in terms of its infrastructure. China Railway Highspeed (CHR) takes its passengers en route Beijing South Railway Station to Shanghai Hongqiao Raiwal Station in extraordinary rapidity with its speed estimated at around or more than 300 km/h.
