Map showing projected high-speed rail network in China by 2020 and the travel time by rail from Beijing to each of the provincial capitals. China's high-speed railway network is by far the longest in the world. The HSR network reached 45,000 km (28,000 mi) in total length by end of 2023 with plans to reach 70,000 km (43,000 mi) in 2035.

The "fastest" train commercial service can be defined alternatively by a train's top speed or average trip speed. The fastest train service measured by peak operational speed was the Shanghai maglev train which can reach 431 km/h (268 mph). The maximum speed was limited to 300 km/h in 2021. Due to the limited length of the Shanghai Maglev track ...
