Having taken the overnight train for this specific route, THIS ARTICLE was fairly impressive.  My take?  If you’re visiting China anytime in the future (especially after 2012) with money to spare, your travel experience will be like cheating, in the same way as one of my mid-60’s friends says that his degree in the pre-computer age should be worth more than his kids’ degrees.

And on the topic of daring Chinese engineering ventures, THIS BRIDGE would qualify as well.
