A complete high-speed railway circle is to start operation in Hainan province by the end of this year to further promote tourism of the island.
Guangzhou Railway (Group) Co announced on Monday that construction of the western part of the high-speed railway circle in Hainan province is done, forming a complete railway circle around the island with the eastern part of the railway, which is already in operation.
The eastern part of the circle started operation in December 2010, with an average occupancy rate of 90 percent. The completed circle is believed to boost a well-balanced tourism development of the island.
