China is preparing to build a series of rails which will stretch all the way from the Queen's land to the shores of Singapore.
Featuring running at speeds of 320 kilometers per hour, the first of the trains will go from King's Cross Station in London all the way to Beijing. That is roughly 8,100 Kilometers and will take approximately two days. The last line to be built will connect Germany to Russia, cross Siberia and then back into China. Needless to say, these lines will revolutionize Sino-European relations.
