The visit was part of the 9th ASEAN-China Week of Educational Exchange held from Aug 1 to 7. During the week, delegates from ASEAN countries gathered in Guiyang to promote educational exchanges.
The 57 million yuan ($ 8.57 million) practice base was completed in 2015 and includes a lifelike railway platform, metro station and ticketing office. The state-of-the-art center serves as a vocational teaching site for professions relating to urban rail transportation.
