Xinhua, September 17, 2016 Adjust font size:

A mudslide caused by torrential rain Saturday morning damaged railway lines and a bridge, forcing the Chengdu-Kunming Railway to suspend operations for the next five to six days, according to the local railway authority.

The damaged lines are about 300 meters long, according to the Kunming Railway Bureau.

Railway lines linking Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province, and Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province, will be suspended starting Saturday, the bureau said.
