Construction of a new high-speed railway in northeast China's Jilin Province started on Aug. 8.
The high speed railway, linking Dunhua city and Baihe town in Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, is 113.5 kilometers long with a speed of 250 km per hour.
There are many tourist sites along the route, including Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve, a top national tourist attraction.
The railway will play a significant role in helping Jilin Province benefit from China's Belt and Road Initiative and the development of tourism, trade and culture in local ethnic minority areas, local authorities said.
