China Wants to Connect its High-Speed Rail to Europe (Largest Infrastructure Project in History)

The goal of this project would be a two-day trip from Beijing to London. The Trans-Siberian Railway, which I’ve seriously considered doing and would still love to, currently takes six days to cover the almost 9,000 km from Moscow to Beijing. Who doesn’t romanticize traveling by train? It’s a shame it’s pretty impractical outside of the northeast corridor in the US. Also, I’m ready for a fourth trip to China.
