Work began on a railway that will allow Chinese high-speed trains to reach the China-Vietnam border on Dec. 18， 2017.
Construction of the 47.6-kilometer railway between Dongxing and Fangchenggang， both in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region， will take three years and cost 6.48 billion yuan （US$980 million）， according to the municipal government of Fangchenggang.
Trains on the Dongxing-Fangchenggang line will run at speeds up to 250 kilometers per-hour. Fangchenggang is already connected with regional capital Nanning by high-speed rail.
Dongxing is located at the China-Vietnam border. Authorities say the line will eventually form part of a trans-Asia railway linking China with Southeast Asian countries.
