Binhai in the context of BeijingâTianjin intercity railway
The BeijingâTianjin intercity railway (simplified Chinese: äșŹæŽ„ćé éè·Ż; traditional Chinese: äșŹæŽ„ćéé”è·Ż; pinyin: JÄ«ng-JÄ«n chĂ©ngjĂŹ tiÄlĂč) is a Chinese high-speed railway that runs 117 kilometres (72.7 mi) line between Beijing and Tianjin. Designed for passenger traffic only, the Chinese government built the line to accommodate trains traveling at a maximum speed of 350 km/h (217 mph), and currently carries CRH high-speed trains running speeds up to 350 km/h (217 mph) since August 2018.
When the line opened on August 1, 2008, it set the record for the fastest conventional train service in the world by top speed, and reduced travel time between the two largest cities in northern China from 70 to 30 minutes.
