When shall the HSR be opened?
I'm sure because I haven't been following it too closely (not on my travel circuit), but IIRC construction started in 2008, so figure next year or 2013.

How about Beihai (seaport, whereas Xijiang is shallow at drought)?
[/QUOTE]
I thought about that because it has a port, but Beihai is considerably more expensive than Nanning, and TMK all of its trains pass through Nanning, anyway.
Or Anhui... HSR already there (Shanghai-Beijing goes via Bengbu, Shanghai-Wuhan via Hefei), and in the middle of China?
I've never had a very favorable impression of Hefei... just kind of a blah city. Bengbu, perhaps, but like many cities in the Jing-Hu corridor, its stock has already started to appreciate at an alarming rate (lots of fancy infrastructure being developed at this point in time).
