Imagine hopping on a bullet train zipping hundreds of miles in just a few hours or having a package arrive overnight from across the country. That's now reality in the Chinese mainland, where the transport ministry reports it operates the world's largest high-speed rail, highway and express delivery networks.
Together, these systems connect more than 97 percent of cities with over 500,000 residents, powering e-commerce, tourism and regional economies. For business and tech enthusiasts, this means faster supply chains and new startup opportunities. Young global citizens can explore vibrant urban hubs with unprecedented ease, while digital nomads benefit from reliable logistics everywhere.
Looking ahead, the transport ministry plans to roll out new mega-projects and upgrade existing routes to boost national economic circulation and travel convenience. As the Chinese mainland pushes the boundaries of infrastructure, it's setting a global benchmark for connectivity and sustainable development.
