STORYLINE:
The track-laying work for the Zhongwei-Lanzhou railway, the final section of the Yinchuan-Lanzhou High-speed Railway, was completed on Saturday in northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
The Zhongwei-Lanzhou high-speed rail line will link Zhongwei and Lanzhou, capital of neighboring Gansu Province.
The 218-km railway is designed with a top-speed of 250 km per hour.
The line will connect with another high-speed rail line linking Zhongwei with Yinchuan, capital of the region.
It is expected to be put into service by the end of this year.
Travel time between Lanzhou and Yinchuan -- the two major cities in northwest China -- will be shortened from the current 10 hours to just two hours.
