Nanjing.

Answer 1

On July 1st, 2010, China opened the intercity high-speed train between Shanghai and Nanjing. It lakes about sixty-four minutes from Nanjing to Shanghai on the high-speed train. Passengers can enjoy safe and comfortable service during the whole journey.

Compared with other forms of transportation ， the high-speed train has many advantages. It provides higher speed of travel for its users. In addition, it helps share the burden of other transport systems. Last but not least ， the high-speed train service contributes to helping boost economy, tourism and the exchange between the prosperous cities along the line.

However, not everyone thinks highly of the high-speed train. Firstly ， the ticket price will be about 50 percent higher than the fare for the "D" trains along the same route, which is too expensive for ordinary wage-earners. Secondly, most of them are designed to make stops at every station, so covering the whole distance will take nearly two hours.

In my opinion, the high-speed train can be described as a fast, safe, comfortable and environmentally-friendly means of transportation. It will be more beneficial to the development of our country.
