December 3rd, 2023 marked the second anniversary (周年纪念日) of China- Laos Railway Line. The 1,035- kilometr e China- Laos Railway runs from Kunming in Southwest China's Yunnan Province to Vientiane, the capital of Laos. When it was open to traffic on December 3rd, 2021, people from Yunnan and Laos were very excited. It takes about 10 hours to get to Vientiane from Kunming. The railway line, with speeds (速度) reaching up to 200 kilometres per hour, has 50 stations. It has become the best choice for people to travel in China and Laos because of shorter travel time, according to China Railway International.
24- year- old Yi Bofeng comes from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. She was a college student in Kunming from 2018 to 2020. "The journey from my home to my college was rough. It often took me two days by bus. But now the trip takes about six hours by train and is much more comfortable. People in my home town travel to Kunming much more often than before," she says.
The railway line has also benefited (使受益) people from Laos. 52- year- old Phetsamone is a businessman in Vientiane. He buys mobile phones and automobile parts in Kunming and sells them in Vientiane. He says, "Before 2022, I drove a truck (卡车) to Kunming. The journey was too long and it was very expensive. Now I take the train. It saves more time and money." It is also easier for him to travel in Laos as well.
Next time if you go to visit Kunming, maybe you can take the train to Laos.
① How long it is.
② When it was opened to traffic.
③ How long the whole trip takes.
④ How much the whole trip costs.
