Taiyuan, capital of North China's Shanxi province, recently launched direct one-stop electric multiple-unit trains to the cities of Datong, Yuncheng and Jincheng. 

The travel time by train between Taiyuan and the three cities thus has been shortened to 1 hour and 49 minutes, 1 hour and 40 minutes, and 1 hour and 26 minutes, respectively. 

The service was launched by China Railway Taiyuan Group Co to further improve the passenger travel experience and boost socioeconomic development.

The direct electric multiple-unit train service will facilitate urban development in northern, southern and southeastern Shanxi, and accelerate personnel and economic exchanges among the cities.
