On December 26, 2009 China has unveiled the world's fastest passenger train. "Harmony Express", as it was called, traveled the distance of 1100 kilometers from Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province and Wuhan in less than 3 o'clock!

The Chinese government has spent 17 billion dollars to build the necessary infrastructure to run at speeds of over 350 km / h. While the maximum speed of high speed train in Japan, the Shinkansen, and France's TGV, is 300 km / h, the Harmony express has reached speeds of 394 km / h. The price for Class 1 is $ 115, while class II is $ 72, which is a big sum for most Chinese.

China really keeps on moving and they are doing everything to prove themselves in the world. However, they are one in the world who gave a lowest wages to their people. How i wish they will also help those thousand Chinese poor people who are dying in hunger.
