Special Guided Tour, Act III: In Macau (Linha da Taipa)

Image
Welcome to our special guided tour. Today we'll take you into the first railway transit line of this former Portuguese colony and the world-famous gambling city, though please bear in mind that gambling isn't included in our official plan.  Please make sure to follow me tightly throughout the whole journey. A bite of Macau: Venetian and Galaxy Macau in the background, both renowned casino resorts. Our bus will be entering the checkpoint through the nearby city of Zhuhai and head straight for the Taipa island on which the trains currently circulate, well Cotai to be exact. One-minute geography: The city of Macau consists of Macau Peninsula and the islands of Taipa and Coloane (Taipa is the result of an artificial landfill), with Taipa being the city centre hosting most of the casinos. Today we will be coming through the Lotus Bridge. You're not having hallucinations, but we're actually standing in Macau and in front of the Parisian hotel w...

Weekly report 46

In the 46th  issue of our (irregularly updated) weekly report, we proudly present you with the following news: Hefei : Following the completion in August, line 3 has been under test runs since the 5th, for an opening date around December. This is a very long line winding up to 37 kilometres with 33 stations, four of which elevated, the first of this kind in the entire system. Qingdao : A small leftover section on line 2, i.e. its west section bringing another four new stations, is under test runs until December. It is presumably the sole new metro section to open in Qingdao for the next 365 consecutive days.  Guangzhou : The remaining section on line 21 which has just started to do test runs last month will most probably face an opening again in December, falling short of our expectations in September. Currently it is stopping at every station, but once the line is complete, it will introduce a similar operation mode to that of line 14, providing local and express services...

Weekly report 50

In the 50th  issue of our (irregularly updated) weekly report, we proudly present you with the following news: Chengdu : The first city ever to have made into three consecutive issues of our series, and this time it's for the Rong 2 tram. The current system with 12 stations and no connection to other lines will be expanded to a Y-shaped branched line and knotted to the hub of west Chengdu, the West Railway Station, by the opening of the later section, and such to be installed as the main transportation of the northwestern suburban commuters.             To summarise: Line 5, line 10 phase II, Rong 2 tram later section for this year. Shenzhen : Besides being the longest line to be born in this city with a stunning length just slightly under 50 km, line 6, with its tracks fully on track now, will complement line 11 by forming conjunctively the outer peripheral vessel of the city upon its opening next year. Shijiazhuang : The first metro line ...
