China's transport sector is on a roll! As part of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), the nation now boasts the world's largest high-speed railway, highway, and postal networks. By the end of 2024, the operational railway mileage reached an astonishing 162,000 kilometers, with 10,000 kilometers added to its high-speed rail system.

For young innovators, business professionals, students, and explorers alike, this dynamic surge in infrastructure opens up new opportunities and connects communities across the country. Stay tuned as this transport revolution paves the way for a more connected and prosperous future!
