CNN Travel reported that the Russian and Chinese governments have agreed to build a cable car across the border between the two nations. This will be the first cable car line to cross the border.

It will run from the Russian city Blagoveshchensk to Heihi in China crossing the Amur River.





The journey will take approximately seven and a half minutes, and the car can carry up to 60 passengers CNN adds.

A new link between Blagoveshchensk and Northern China will open by 2020. This will be the first bridge crossing the two nations. It will be finished by December of this year.

These connections will allow for more trade between the nations and a path connecting cultures and people and their beliefs. Will this be a modern silk road?
