The world's fastest express train made its debut in China on Wednesday. It runs at a speed of over 380 kilometers per hour. China now also boasts the world's longest express railway which runs for 1-thousand kilometers.

With an investment of more than 110-billion yuan, the expressway stretches between Wuhan and Guangzhou crossing three central and southern Chinese provinces. It can complete the 1-thousand kilometer trip in three hours.

And an advanced brake system also ensures safety. It can also automatically receive notice of signal failures within a range of 32-kilometers. It is also the first self-developed long express railway in China.
