Jingzhang Railway
The Jingzhang Railway stretches from Beijing to Zhangjiakou. It is well known in China because it was the first of its kind designed and built by Chinese people.
The chief engineer for this railway was Zhan Tianyou. Born in 1861 in Guangdong province, he showed an interest in machines at an early age. At eleven, he went to study in the US. Upon his graduation from Yale University in 1881, Zhan returned to China and began his work on the Jingzhang Railway in 1905.
The Jingzhang Railway must go through an area of hills and mountains. At that time, many people believed no one could ever build a railway there. However, Zhan Tianyou overcame all kinds of difficulties and succeeded in finishing the task. The 200-kilometer-long railway was completed in 1909, two years ahead of schedule. It is considered a brilliant piece of work in Chinese railway history.

京张铁路
京张铁路从北京延伸到张家口。它在中国很有名，因为它是第一个由中国人设计和建造的同类建筑。
这条铁路的总工程师是詹天佑。他于1861年出生在广东省，从小就对机器感兴趣。十一岁时，他去美国学习。1881年从耶鲁大学毕业后，詹回到中国，并于1905年开始在铁路上工作。
京张铁路必须穿过丘陵和山区。那时，许多人认为没有人能在那里修建铁路。然而，詹天佑克服了各种困难，成功地完成了任务。这条200公里长的铁路于1909年竣工，比计划提前了两年。它被认为是中国铁路史上的一份杰作。
