Kunming opens its first subway line

A subway line opened on Monday in Kunming, capital of southwest China's Yunnan province. The 22-km-long line — the first to be built in the area — will eventually act as an overlapping section for two planned subway lines, a manager from subway operator Kunming Subway said. The subway's trains will run at an average speed of 39.3 km per hour, taking 34 minutes for each one-way trip, the manager said. Construction on the line started in April 2010 and went into trial operation on April 9 this year. Source: Want China Times from China Travel & Tourism News http://www.chinatraveltourismnews.com/
