The 2,200-km high-speed railway from Beijing to Guangzhou will open on Dec. 26, cutting the travel time between the two cities to about eight hours from 22 hours, according to the Ministry of Railways.

The Wuhan-Guangzhou section of the high-speed route has been operating since December 2009 and the Zhengzhou-Wuhan section began functioning in September this year.

The railway, which runs at an average speed of 300 kilometers per hour, will probably cost about 900 yuan, according to estimates.
