A major railway connecting Lanzhou, capital of Gansu Province, with the southwestern metropolis Chongqing went into operation on Friday.

It took nine years to build the Lanzhou-Chongqing railway, with a total length of 886 kilometers.

Travel time between Lanzhou and Chongqing is expected to be cut from 20 hours to about 12. Trains between Lanzhou and Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province, will be shortened to 11 hours.

The railway, which runs through Gansu, Shaanxi, Sichuan and Chongqing, will play a crucial role in the development of western China.
