Workers install window grilles at the construction site of the newly built part of Xiamen North Railway Station on the Fuzhou-Xiamen high-speed railway in Xiamen, southeast China's Fujian Province, June 19, 2023. The newly built part of Xiamen North Railway Station, with a construction area of 250,000 square meters, is located on the north side of the current Xiamen North Railway Station. After the completion of the newly built part, the Xiamen North Railway Station will have 13 platforms and 27 rail tracks in total, with an annual passenger volume of 50 million. The new Fuzhou-Xiamen high-speed railway is the country's first cross-sea high-speed railway. With a designed speed of 350 km per hour and eight stations along the route, it is expected to slash the travel time between the two cities to just one hour. (Xinhua/Wei Peiquan)
