Yesterday, with 5 high-speed trains available, the first Zhengzhou-Guiyang high-speed railway undertaken by Zhengzhou Railway Bureau was officially put into service. The travel time between the two cities will be greatly reduced.

At 7:38 a.m. yesterday, the train No.G1531, the first Zhengzhou-North Guiyang high-speed train managed by Zhengzhou Railway Bureau departed Zhengzhou East Station for Guiyang with over 1,000 passengers.
