What China is most praised now is not the appearance of China's existing technology and economy. But we have passed down the Chinese civilization of 5,000 years. One of China’s five thousand years of cultural enrichment is “和（he）”.

Explain: In China, Class D and G trains are all high-speed trains. But class D running at speed of 200-250 km/h. The G-class train running at speeds of 300-350 km/h.
Darn it!
D train 250 km/hr
d和g都是动车好吧。
动车 是车， 高铁是铁路。
只是一般情况下，大家为了区分速度上的区别，所以把200－250的叫做动车，300以上的叫高铁。
实际上，两种都是动车组。
下次你坐g字头可以听一下广播，看下人是说欢迎乘坐动车组列车 还是 高铁列车。
His comment is misleading. D trains and G trains are both categorized as high speed railway trains. The difference is the d trains' speed is limited to 250km/h max while the g trains can reach up to 380km/h
@@MrJormin D型列车的速度是多少？
The reason these trains aren't as nice is because it's a D train. The nicer trains are G class trains.
Yeah! I actually explained this, but we didn't put it in the vlog as I wasn't that clear and it was quite noisy! The G class trains are great! 😀
@@RobandJenny D means decent, G means Great, so you know..
@@pangrui945 no....g and d are abbreviation of two technical terms in chinese.......g stands for gaotie(high speed electric multiple units)....d stands for dongche(electric multiple units)
@@pangrui945 Really good interpreting, well done, sir:)
@@pangrui945 D means Dongche (200-250km/h), G means Gaotie (300-350km/h)

My wife and I begin a 19 day journey to China in five days. We start in Beijing. The first two days we'll be on our own before joining our tour. Besides the usual Beijing attractions, we'll fly to Xi'an for four days before taking the high speed train to Chengdu where we will spend two nights before flying to Lhasa, Tibet where we will spend three nights before flying to Chonqing for a three night cruise on the Yangtze River. We then fly to Shanghai where we will spend the last two nights before the long journey home to Orlando, FL. The two of us are actually looking forward to the high speed train because it will give us a chance to at least view a good bit of the countryside. When I think of China with 1.3 billion people I often wonder how crowded it must be, but as so many videos attest; there remains quite a bit of space for agriculture and so forth. Thank you both for taking the time to make this video!
Thanks for the comment! Sounds like you have a great itinerary ahead of you! 👍
You are right, China still had a lot of open green beauty. It's really nice! 😀
One thing I noticed is that the Chinese don't abuse you for not knowing their language unlike U.S.
I’m moving to China next month to Hangzhou to teach English, so this was very exciting to watch!
Amazing! You'll have the best time 😁
welcone to hangzhou！
Jie Zhu Thank you! I’m still waiting for my visa to be approved, but it looks like a beautiful city, and I’m very excited!

Awesome
00:47 Hongqiao is actually an airport and used to be the only international airport in Shanghai before Pudong Airport was in service. Now it serves as a regional hub for mainly domestic flights. The reason the train station is built in Hongqiao is because it can facilitate faster transfer between domestic flights/trains.
we are doing something similar in a couple of weeks but to Beijing so this was super helpful! We are watching your video series to prep for this! You guys put so much detail here and we love it!
So happy you're finding it helpful! A journey to Beijing shouldn't take so long so hopefully you'll be a little more comfortable. 😅
The fastest from Shanghai to Beijing is 4 hour 18 minutes. Also the train is newer and faster at 350km per hour.
蜀道难难于上青天 - "The path to Sichuan is more difficult than going up to the sky" - a famous poetry sentence by Bai Li 1,300 years ago. Good to see that nowadays it's been quite smooth and easy to commute to Sichuan. Great video!
Interesting! - Yes it is so easy now! and the journey is amazing!

real G class CRH passing by……
😂
Those trains are very very nice! 😀
Thanks for watching
Rob & Jenny there are more faster trains in China now.we called it “Fuxin train”.Welcome to china again!
Yan Chan 哈哈哈你不说我都没注意哈哈啊哈
Right
The trains in China were so nice! I used to take them all the time when I lived there. Never made it to Chengdu. Definitely need to get there someday!
They are so convenient! Chengdu was awesome, especially the pandas!
Rob & Jenny it is hard to beat pandas!
@@RobandJenny Actually, there are l lot of scenes aruound Chengdu.
Australia should build some bullet trains. Trains here are really slow LMAO

Next time when you travel in China's HSR, try to order KFC or McD via your mobile phone if time allows. It will be delivered to your seat at one of the enroute station.
很多外国人没有中国银行卡，没办法在线支付
The food that you order on the mobile phone app will cheaper than those on the train.

我来解释吧：动车组D，时速200-250k/h，可以在普通有渣铁路和无渣高速铁路上运行，价格便宜一些；动车组G，时速300-350km/h，只能在无渣高速铁路上运行，因为时速太快有渣轨道不安全。
Explain: The D series fast train can both run on common track with small stones and high-speed track without small stones, it's 200-250km/h speed, its price is cheaper. The G series high-speed train can only run on the high-speed track for the safety reason, to avoid the small stones hit the train during high-speed running, it's 300-350km/h speed. Both of these 2 series trains the windows are installed the decelerating glass.
Thank you! I am a hillbilly Hong Kong Chinese currently live in Canada who left Shanghai when I was 3 years old but can still speak Shanghainese fluently! I hope I can visit the city I was born before I pass on! Best to you all!

@@HL-qk5nc Tu veux dire que le blogueur coûte 5 cents ? Pouvez-vous arrêter de montrer votre QI partout ?
Although I have traveled to Shanghai so many times with the high speed railway, I just realized that I haven’t viewed the Hongqiao Station from ground level for a single time. The subway system in Shanghai is so convenient that you don’t even need to get outside of the station to travel around (unless you are really early in the morning I guess). There is actually an Hongqiao Airport just next to the railway station, one that is much smaller and older than the Pudong Airport on the east coast of Shanghai. So you are not completely wrong to say that the station looks like an airport.
As for passport check, it is pretty much because it is harder to have a unified system to scan all passports from different countries. If you are a Chinese citizen, you will have a second generation citizen ID card and you can scan it through the main entrance. Your ticket is also associated with you specifically (to prevent people from buying duplicated tickets and re-selling them for higher prices), so the information is actually recorded in your ID. You can simply scan your ID to board the train without even the need to print the ticket out.
For the broadcast it is just saying welcome and nominating the sponsors of the train. It also gives a little more detailed explanation of the smoke detectors on this smoke-free train and the consequences of triggering or damaging it (the train will come into an emergent stop and you might have legal responsibilities for it).
Nice video. Brought back memories of the many trips I have taken on all sorts of different trains in China. FWIW, as of now, there is one G Train daily from Shanghai to Chengdu (11 hrs 10 mins) and 4 D trains daily (ranging from 12 hrs 29 mins to 14 hrs 42 mins). It's not just the speed of the train but also the number of stops that determines the duration.
Yeah thats why we stuck with the D train because the time of the G train didnt really suit us. Thanks for the info! 😀
Nice video! I love watching people travel around and experience new stuff. You have my 👍👍👍!
Thanks!!
LOVE China's trains!!! SUPER convenient way to travel! Thanks for the video!
They are pretty luxurious! We miss them in other countries! 😂😂 🚄
It used take me 19hrs by train from Shijiazhuang to Changchun....can't believe how much has improved in such a short period.
Chinese trains are crazy good
shanghai Hongqiao is a massive transportation hub including air port, high speed train, subway and road😁
Very nice and informative video. Really exciting to see both of you having a good time on the train journey. Thank you.
Lovely couple introduce real China to the world, we people love you guys.❤️❤️❤️
I have seen and met many backpackers in New Zealand. Didn't realise you guys are exploring and experiencing every corner in the world. It's not easy backpacking in China as the language and the culture are so different from your native ones. But good luck!
Thank you! We loved exploring China, we found everyone so helpful 😁😁
As a Chinese, I really like both of your pronunciation... so attractive...
Thanks. 😀
They are speaking English and not American English.. thats; why...
just subscribed! looking fwd to more video. thx. please more scenic/greenery. have fun.
Check out our videos in longsheng and yangshuo! So green
I can't even get a train that works in the UK . China is rocking . Thank you for this video .
thanks alot for watching!
欢迎来到四川，这是我的家乡，有很多好吃的好玩的
成都中国最美的的城市
I hope you have a good time in my hometown Chengdu👍If you like natural scenery, I recommend Jiuzhaigou and Emei mountain!
love your videos!! I am here in Chengdu and I'd be glad to offer guide for you! Hope you all enjoy the time in China ❤
Your video makes me homesick! It’s hard to travel back due to the covid situation with 2 kids and our kids are missing everything in China too!
Thank you for the lovely video showing the beautiful sceneries and landscapes. 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏you both are lovely couples. I thought the high speed train won't take that long from Shanghai to Chengdu.
Nice job! Hope you enjoy the rest of journey in China! And allow me to give some suggestion about the itinerary if someone want to explore China from Shanghai all the way to the Western China Chengdu :) Shanghai → Kunming (8 hours by bullet train), then spend 5～7 days experience the most beautiful landscape in China which is Dali → Lijiang → Tiger leaping gorge → Shangli-ra, if you like hiking maybe it's better go further to the Meili snow mountain and have a nice hiking to Yubeng village and Camp one, after these you can take a bullet train from Kunming to Chengdu like 5 hours, I think it's better than take a 14 hours directly train from Shanghai to Chengdu, more relax and more amazing views:)
Those are some amazing tips! Though the train wasn't too bad in the end 😀
Thank you Rob and Jenny! You guys have done something that I want to do, but never got a chance. Maybe it's just my own excuse..... Especially I love your smile faces. Good luck to you two!
You are welcome! 😀 Thanks for watching! Maybe one day you will get the chance? 😀
Really amazing trip! Thanks for your video! Love you both!
Thanks so much!! 😁
How superb are Chinese high-speed trains? I'm just back from China, and discovered there are two types - high speed and very high speed. Beijing-Shanghai travelled at 350kmh and Shanghai-Nanning rarely reached 300kmh due to the number of intermediate stops. Great video.
Oh wow! Next time we will have to give a super fast one a go!
the G series can go out to 400kn/h and the D up to 300 but they had controled the speed downwards to 300 n about 220 respectively due to a previous accident
450 HSR is being tested right now
I've been to Chengdu a couple of times and it's famous for the Panda Park where they breed and study Pandas. There is the Poets Park & Commercial Lane to visit & the Old Market Garden, then out of town the Great Mountain BUDDA and the very ancient city of Sanxindui that is supposed to be over 5.000yrs old. It's a very interesting place.
Thanks for your comment and for watching!! 😀
Love Chengdu so much
I'm living in the city beside Sanxindui. Welcome to my city next time!
We recently took the G train from Fuzhou to Xiamen, and we took the business class seats. We were treated like kings! Free breakfast, drinks, slippers, blankets. There were only 5 seats in our coach. The stewardesses even helped us unload our luggage.
That sounds amazing. Was a bit out of our price range unfortunately. We hope to come back one day and try that out. 😀
Thank you for your video, like it very much. Hope you have a wonderful journey in China.Your channel deserves more subscribers. Kevin from Nanjing China.
Aw thanks!
Welcome to my country, I hope you can have a happy year in China
Thank you! China was lovely! 😀
@6:20. English/Chinese announcements. That’s like the movie “ lost in translation “.Suntory time
How come if any people not like your vids full of Jenny's lovely smiling face in it? It makes the journey even enjoyable to watch😜.Thanks you good couple.
Aw :) Thank you for such a lovely comment! :)
Great footage! 14 hours is a long time, glad that y'all were able to keep yourselves occupied!
Looks you guys very happy with China Railway experiences
🚅 Some of the best we have ever been on. And we have tried Japanese, Korean, Swiss and many more! I like train travel alot! Need to get on a maglev soon! 😀
Really nice video,thank you guys sharing your life with us.
Thank you so much for watching our videos! 😃
great video guys! I kept wondering how much staring&attention you guys probably got from other passengers as you were filming this (maybe not that much), but seems like you guys had a good time :)
Surprisingly, most people took one look then stopped caring 😆
If this is not just ok! It’s excellent! Others countries are so far behind in term of coverage with high speed train n they run on time!
Amazing video~! from korea
Wow China is amazing.
You guys looking so gorgeous together
U are one of the RUclips peace ✌ and love
Have a safely trip and enjoy!
14 hours! I would take a sleeper train or fly. I have taken many sleeper trains in China and I like it
We'd love to do this! Look forward to seeing more videos 👍😁
Thank you!
This line across my hometown Luan station which between Hefei and Wuhan！Quite miss it！thank you for your video cos I am 2 years away from China now. Hope you have a nice trip!
😀😀😀
Really cool video! Loved following your whole train ride!
Thank you!
I took the G class bullet train from Shanghai to Chengdu two times. Still it took me 11 and a half hours. It is more reasonable to take the D train money wise.
I thought the d and g trains are the same price. To be honest after you have travelled all day a few more hours either side doesn't make s huge difference. 😃
G train is more expensive than D train
chengdu is surrounded by a bunch of hills, and the train has to slow down to go through those hills. That’s why the Chengdu line tooks a relatively long time no matter with a Dclass or Gclass.
Distance is too far away, may have been through six countries in Europe, looking forward to after the speed of 600 km of high-speed railway in China
@@bloodgold6813 What? 600KM/H----Too fast!!...But wWe have researched a 500Km/H train.And Some Chinese men are studying 800Km/H
Also u can request for deliveries such as McDonald or KFC to the train from mobile app but all the apps are in Chinese.
Thanks. 😃
Right
Thanks for this tour of your train ride!
Thanks for watching 😀
高鐵是可以點外賣的，每到一個站有提示停站幾分鐘可以到月台活動活動伸張身體，也可以吸煙，高鐵比起飛機雖然時間長了但自由多了，比起飛機要提前一小時左右又要寄行李又嚴格安檢到了又要等行李整個行程高鐵慢不了多少

We often watch most of the travel vlogs just showing their beautiful trip without the hassle of getting there and finding the place ... but you were showing all the behind scenes ...
It is different as you were showing all the challenges but I think it’s so real ! !
Aw thanks! We try to keep things realistic haha
Basically, the hot water will be used by passengers to make beverages and for adding into instant noodle in a cup.
It's such a good idea. Nice and cheap food and drink on the train! 😁
that announcement in Chinese actually talks about personal privacy and bathroom smoke detectors. But in English, he just talks about no smoking.
😂😋

welcome to chengdu！成都欢迎你们！
You guys are crazy but I give you high five for such adventurous spirit. It is such spirit that made Brits conquer the "whole" world once. Wish you best of the luck.
Well I don't think we want that much spirit.. . ☺️ But thanks, we love trying out new experiences! 😀
Nice travel! I took the bullet train from Shanghai to Ningbo for the very first time in China. Loved the experience! It’s way better than in the US (dirty, slow, and loud Amtrak).
We are yet to experience trains in the US!
@@RobandJenny U.S. infrastructure is pretty old. While U.S. has a lot of roads and highways, even many of them were built like 50-yrs ago. U.S. public transport is stuck in the 1980s.

Thank you for sharing your trip to Chengdu. Looks like your guys are fairly easy going. Hope you were able to roll with the pouches! We're looking to do the Chengdu trip most likely next year (2020). Thank you for your pre scouting!
No worries! Hope you have a great trip!!
Thank you for the nice video!

used to take same route twice every year for 4 years many years ago, it was like 2 day one night or 2 night one day trip.
Its not too bad in those nice Bullet trains with a pot of ramen and some hot coffee! :)
between train and flight, i choose train all the times. the scenery for plane is boring while train is more variety and definitely much safer..
我为祖国自豪👍祖国加油💪
Nice chain trains...
I m from pakistan
Pakistani train from karachi to lahore
Will take 18 to 24 hours..
But we enjoy
Pakistan long live
im sure trains will get faster in Pakistan one day.
I love this vide. because I used to take the train in China, very fast, 300 kilometers per hour.very clean
Try shenzhen to shenyang haha that's quite a journey and a lot of cultural changes real fast
It is cheaper high-speed train.Full speed train is 300-350 km/h
That's correct! 😃
