High Speed Railway For West China

Xi'an has always proven popular with the tourists, thanks to the Terracotta warriors, and few visitors have been able to resist the charms of Chengdu's panda population.

However, traveling between the two major cities has always been something of a problem, due to the rugged natural environment.

Now, the National Development and Reform Commission has just announced that a new high-speed rail link between Xi’an and Chengdu has been approved.

The new railway will be designed and constructed by the China Railway First Survey and Design Institute.

The Xi'an-Chengdu railway will cost around 10 billion US dollars, and will be the first railway to run through the Qinling Mountains, which explains the high price tag.

According to the engineers involved the project is scheduled to be completed within 4 years.

Mid-Week Mid-Autumn Festival

Since China reformed its public holiday system in 2008 the traditional (PIC) Mid-autumn festival has become an official one day holiday. This year it fell on a Wednesday, making it awkward for anybody who has to travel to spend the day with family. So how do people manage? Well most of the country uses a system of swapping weekends for work days to ensure a few days off together. This year that meant working the following Saturday and Sunday. And it’s complicated even more because of the upcoming national holiday on October 1st. So are people happy about this system and how did they arrange the holiday? Well, that’s what we went out and asked in today’s Straight for the Street.
