Students take photos as they wait for a “gaokao train” at Dayangshu township on June 5, 2019 in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. The special train operates only once a year and takes 450 students from Dayangshu of North China's Greater Hinggan Mountains to Alihe, a town 135 kilometers away. Dayangshu lies in the southern part of Inner Mongolia's Greater Hinggan Mountains and is inhabited by Oroqen, Daur and Ewenki ethnic groups. The town is too small to have its own test center, so students travel to Alihe for the gaokao. Gaokao, the national college entrance examination, takes place on June 7 and 8 and determines which universities students can go to. More than 10 million students have registered this year, Minister of Education Chen Baosheng said. (Photo by Tao Zhang/Getty Images)
