The world's largest and deepest underground high-speed rail station has been completed, shortening the trip from Beijing to Tianjin's Yujiabao Financial Zone to only 45 minutes, Xinhua reported.

The Yujiapu Station in Tianjin is between 60 to 65 meters below ground, stretching the Beijing-Tianjin high-speed rail to the coastal areas of Tianjin. The highest speed of the rail is expected to reach 350 km/h.

As the station is built in saline and alkaline soil, a one-meter-thick, 1,435-meter-long wall was built to prevent water penetration.
