The Nanning-Kunming Railway, which runs 898 km from Nanning, capital of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region to Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province, was completed in 1997. Mainly laid in tough mountainous areas, it passes through coastal bay areas, lakes, rivers and the high-altitude Yungui Plateau, with relative elevation difference of 2,010 meters, quite rare in the history of China's railway construction. Construction of the railway, including 447 bridges and 258 tunnels, met with many difficulties, and its completion signals that China's railway construction ability in mountainous areas has reached an advanced level.
