The photo, taken on December 21, shows people performing dragon and lion dances to celebrate the opening of the Changde-Yiyang-Changsha High-speed Railway Hanshou Station. With this station, Hanshou County joins China's "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed rail network and enters the "high-speed rail era". The travel time between Hanshou County and Changsha City would be shortened from more than two hours to less than 48 minutes. (Photo/Pan Jinglin, Li Bingyu)
