The high-speed railway from Changchun to Hunchun, eastern most city of China, officially opened to traffic on Sept. 20. It connects the borders of China, North Korea and Russia, Xinhua reports on Monday, quoting resources of China's National Radio.

The railway starts from Changchun, capital city of northeastern China's Jilin province, and runs all the way to Hunchun in only three hours and five minutes. It is a major part of the rapid transportation network in northeastern region of China.

It is also China's gateway to North Korea and Russia in Northeast Asia and an important channel to the Sea of Japan.

The high-speed railway will run through the beautiful scenic spots in Jilin province, including the Songhua Lake, Changbai Mountain and Jiaohe Red Leave Valley, so it is dubbed as the most beautiful high-speed railway in China's northeast region.
