STORYLINE:
Track-laying work on China's first sea-crossing high-speed railway has been completed in Fujian Province.
The 277-km railway links Fuzhou, the provincial capital, with Xiamen, a port city.

The rail line has a designed speed of 350 km per hour and eight stations along the route.
It is expected to slash the travel time between the two cities to just on
