China Railway officially announced that in 2025, my country’s railway “14th Five-Year Plan” will come to a successful conclusion.The operating mileage of railways nationwide has reached 165,000 kilometers, of which the operating mileage of high-speed railways has exceeded 50,000 kilometers.Our country has successfully built the world's largest and most technologically advanced high-speed railway network, and railway transportation has achieved a historic transformation from bottleneck-constrained to basically adaptive.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the national railway operating mileage increased from 146,300 kilometers to 165,000 kilometers, an increase of 12.8%;The operating mileage of high-speed rail has jumped from 37,900 kilometers to 50,400 kilometers, an increase of 32.98%.

The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is about 380,000 kilometers, and 165,000 kilometers is close to 43% of the distance between the Earth and the Moon.
During this period, a series of major scientific and technological innovations represented by the Fuxing high-speed train continued to emerge. my country's overall railway technology level reached the world's leading level, and high-speed rail technology became an international benchmark.
In terms of transportation services,During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the national railway has transported a total of 16.2 billion passengers and 19.6 billion tons of cargo., an increase of 8.7% and 24.1% respectively compared with the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period.
