Sept. 13 (UPI) -- Tensions on the Korean peninsula have not deterred roughly 30 million passengers in China from traveling in areas near the border with North Korea, two years after China launched a bullet train route that connects key areas of Jilin Province.
According to China's People's Daily Online on Wednesday, a high-speed railway that began operations in September 2015 and now connects the city of Changchun in Jilin Province to Hunchun City in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, carried 18 million passengers in its first year of service, then transported another 13 million people in its second year.
