Car transport on Beijing-Hangzhou line opens ahead of National Day

Faced with driving more than 1,300 kilometers for a view of one of China's scenic areas during the upcoming National Day holiday, car owners in Beijing will have a much easier option this year: taking a high-speed train while another train transports their cars.

Beijing Railway Bureau announced the high-speed train will depart from the South Railway Station on Sept 30 and arrive in Hangzhou, capital of Zhe-jiang province, the next morning. The train returns from Hangzhou on the night of Oct 6, arriving in Beijing eight hours later.
