Traveling around China via trains is becoming more convenient.

As of Sunday, 3,400 new passenger trains, over half being on high-speed rail lines, have been put into service in China's national rail system.

Most of the newly added high-speed services were added to routes which service small-and-medium-sized cities and in the country's western regions.

In addition, 69 new railway lines open specifically for day-trips outside of major cities in an attempt to increase weekend tourism.

For commuters traveling between big cities and their neighboring small towns, around 100 new inter-city trains were also put into service.

China Railway Corporation has also promised that ticket prices will remain the same.

China put nearly 10,000 kilometers of rail lines into operation in 2015.

More than 2.5 billion trips were made last year through the country's railways.

The national railway system has implemented a new train diagram.
