The first full-course test run was carried out Wednesday on a high-speed railway linking Xi’an with Chengdu, which is scheduled to enter operation within the year.

从西安发至成都的高铁周三在一条线路上完整试运行，该条线路预计将于年内通车。

A high-speed train pulled out of the station Wednesday morning in Xi’an, capital of northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, and was expected to arrive in the southwestern metropolis1 of Chengdu three hours later.

Five pairs of trains will run between Xi’an and Chengdu every day, and another two pairs will run between Xi’an and Chongqing, according to the city’s railway authority2.

The 643-km line is China’s first rail route to run through the Qinling Mountains. With a designed speed of 250 km per hour, it will slash3 the travel time between the two cities from the previous 16 hours.
