Abstract : Along the ancient Silk Road, melodious camel bells once measured the distance between civilizations in years. Today, the ever-running China Railway Express measures it in hours, redefining the temporal dimension of the Eurasian continent.

Along the ancient Silk Road, melodious camel bells once measured the distance between civilizations in years. Today, the ever-running China Railway Express measures it in hours, redefining the temporal dimension of the Eurasian continent.

Following a group of observers from Kazakhstan, let's take a closer look at the key stations of the China Railway Express. From Xi'an to Lianyungang, we have seen it with our own eyes this time -- in a world full of uncertainties, there are some connections we are certain of, and some destinations we are certain to reach.
