China’s Great Railway Opens From Hankow to Pekin
Consul General Sammons describes the new Hankow Pekin railroad as key to regional development. The 754 1 2 mile route took four days by rail, with speeds averaging 16 to 20 mph and a 36 hour target after the Yellow River bridge completion. Travelers may use chartered cars to avoid unsatisfactory inns, and tourism is expected to rise. The fertile plain between Hankow and Pekin supports wheat, poppies, and rice, with irrigation by hand and extensive mud walls surrounding villages. The landscape reveals a dense, rural, and traditional society with few beggars and limited foreign goods visible.
