The Fuxing high-speed trains will make 39 one-way trips between Beijing and Tianjin and six one-way trips between Beijing and Xingtai, Hebei each day. The trains will stop at 10 cities in the region, including Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei’s Baod-ing, Xingtai and Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital.Panda specimenA museum in Dalian unveiled a panda specimen* preserved with its organs and muscles intact, the fi rst of its kind in the world.

Its many bomb shelters cover an area of more than 1 million square meters. This year, the city has opened 96 air-raid shelters to residents.
