A high-speed railway line linking Beijing and Zhangjiakou in North China's Hebei province opens on Monday.
The railway line is a major project for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. It will reduce the travel time between the two 2022 Winter Olympics hosts from currently over three hours to 47 minutes.

The 174-km line runs from Beijing North Railway Station, in the capital's Xicheng district, passes through Changping and Yanqing districts, and ends at Zhangjiakou Railway Station. There are 10 stations along the line.
Construction of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway began in the first half of 2016. The railway underwent test runs earlier this month.
