The Dali-Baoshan section of Dali-Ruili Railway in southwest China's Yunnan Province will soon be put into operation, putting an end to Baoshan's status as a place with no rail links.

With a length of 330 kilometers, the Dali-Ruili Railway is a major project in China's railway network construction plan.
