Sorry - they like to spell it Shaanxi
When shall the HSR be opened?
How about Beihai (seaport, whereas Xijiang is shallow at drought)?
Or Anhui... HSR already there (Shanghai-Beijing goes via Bengbu, Shanghai-Wuhan via Hefei), and in the middle of China?

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.

At G15 expressway west of Ningbo the viaducts have been complete and contact wire is strung. A xinhuanet posting a couple of years ago listed the completion date as Dec 2011.

I did have a conversation and it seems some government inspections in this area recently changed some things. Who knows. I am told there should be changes in the new year.
No I am not working in China, merely following hubs as works with automotive suppliers in China. That is where the lcc comes in, yes they can easlily change those suppliers to "more lcc", but it is getting very hard to find experienced people to move to those countries. It is getting difficult to get people to move to China with the new rules and if they have children. It is a new world with the current changes.
I just want to get a train.
Finding a Chinese person to help with the train is not all that easy. The company has a "travel person" to arrange for this, but they all think the standing room only tickets on the latest train is just dandy. That is how they travel and they do not understand why "we" want and can pay for better tickets.
Ning Hai is changing rapidly, we recently attended a dinner from the Economic Center and the future is staggering. Right now it is small for China, no western type things, but still beautiful and worth a visit. Soon I think that will all change. A lot of money going in that area.
