- I travel from Beijing to Dandong on the North Korean border in China's northeast. It's a train I've been on around 30 times before but I'd largely forgotten what it's truly like...
Join me on this video as we travel from China's capital city for all the way up to the North Korean border. I help you prepare, take you through the ins and outs of Beijing train station, as well as giving you an insight into what life on a Chinese sleeper train is really like...
Think you could survive it?

Got to admit you're one of the most adventurous UK vloggers currently travelling through North East Asia. Thanks for sharing your exciting travel experience.
Ahh thank you 🙌
Finally, the journey resumes !!! ❤❤❤
Right!!!! More to come 👀
6:18 lol @ the guy rushing with his bag. What happen bro? lol
I love that I have been a sub for so long and I keep learning more cool info I never knew. Thanks from Saskatchewan Canada! If you ever come here we have those Cucumber lays in most large stores. I have never tried them. I might have to get a bag now.
Haha amazing! I have a couple of friends from Saskatchewan! Shout out to them both!
Thank you For Sharing this video 😊
Hope you enjoyed!
Good to see you traveling again. Can't wait to see your next video exploring the borderland.
Very soon!
Waiting for dandong video & hopefully a dprk new video showing korea in 2023❤
coming in the next couple of weeks..~
Nice video. Greetings from Brasil.
Thank you very much!
Wonderful video. I quite like travelling by train but I think that one looks a little intense for my tastes 😂
it's an experience for sure!
Hot water is so important 😅 oh I saw a Lawson, surprise. China has the weirdest lays 😂
So important 😂
I’ve only just discovered your channel but very interesting stuff seeing bits and bobs about the hermit kingdom of NK 👌
I don’t know if you’ve done this before but would you ever do a little vlog in China? I’m quite curious about that country too as I believe there’s so much to see with it’s sheer size and many different varieties of cultures, dialects/languages etc - yet it’s a bit of a complicated place too 😅
Welcome aboard! actually I started vlogging just in Dec 2019 (i.e. right before the pandemic) so haven't had much of a chance to do china stuff as i was stuck outside for most of it. A few more vids to come, though!
Dont get me wrong, bullet trains in China are amazing but its all about the old green sleeper trains. So many great memories on them when I lived in China. No chance you'll be able to smoke and meet randomers between carriages in them bullet trains.
Agreed, I actually much prefer the sleeper trains to the bullet trains!
비디오 잘 봤어요....단둥 근처에 조선족 마을 관광도 추천합니다.......from Daejeon S.Korea.....
Looks like they have suicide prevention bars on the windows in the bathroom on the train.
Isn’t North Korea still closed? Or do you have special allowances to be there? (sorry I just found the channel I’ll catch up on all the videos for sure though it’s fascinating)
Yup it's still closed - that's why i only make it to the border here.
How difficult would it be for one who knows no Chinese to take this train ?
The train station did not seem to have any signage in the Latin alphabet.
it's tricky but not impossible. I'd advise looking up some key vocab but it's a lot easier now if you buy them online as they tickets will be in english - you don't have to worry about trying to navigate where you need to go. But like anywhere or doing anything in China - it's tricky but not impossible!
Why do you have to show your passport for a domestic trip?
It’s just identity card system for China. Chinese nationals have to show identification too
LOL stop feeding to the stereotype about Brits with chips!
