Connecting two major economic hubs in China, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway is one of China’s busiest and most important railroad lines. It also carries the fastest train on the planet. China Global TV Network’s two-day live broadcast of a train ride in the Fuxing bullet train on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway has become a buzzword during the eight-day vacation comprising of the mid-autumn festival and the national day holiday.
Xuzhou is the first southward station in Jiangsu on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail. During the National Day holiday, tourists took the high-speed rail to trek into the green mountains of Xuzhou to enjoy the beautiful scenery, feel the charm of red culture, and enjoy the joyous time of the festival.

The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail is like a "golden pole", connecting the two major economic regions of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta, building a high-speed rail economic circle, tourism circle, and living circle, promoting regional coordination and accelerating the integration process.

From an economic point of view
the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway
connects the Yangtze River Delta
and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei economic zones
China’s economy is shifting
from being dominated by administrative regions
to optimizing the allocation of factors
through urban agglomerations
metropolitan areas, people, logistics
information flows, and capital flows
This will play a huge role
in the next high-quality development of China’s economy
