Workers race against the rain to keep construction moving forward at the site of the Nantong-Suzhou-Jiaxing-Ningbo (Tong-Su-Jia-Yong) Railway in Zhangjiagang, East China's Jiangsu Province, on May 20, 2026. The high-speed railway spans about 310 kilometers and is expected to open to traffic in 2027. It will improve regional connectivity and build a "one-hour high-speed rail living circle" along the Yangtze River Delta area. Photo: VCG
