    Not a strict comparison, but 2298 km in 7h37min from Guangzhou South to Beijing West, while the fastest ICE from München Hbf via Berlin to Hamburg Hbf still needs about 6h to cover a distance of 612km, and the second class ticket costs 70-130 Euros depending on the departure time and the speed of the train in 1 day advance. The similar distance in China from Zhengzhou to Beijing (about 693km) takes only 2.5-3 hours (fastest service 2h11min) and a second class ticket with seat reservation costs 40-45 Euros.

      If you prefer to save a bit of budget, let‘s compare the service from Zhengzhou to Beijing with average travel speed around 100-120km/h, similar with ICE München-Hamburg. The D-Train operated by CR200J and the conventional Z-Train, take 6-6.5 hours from Zhengzhou to Beijing, travel on conventional rails with maximum speed of 160km/h, cost less than 20 Euros of a second class with reservation (CR200J D-Trains), or even 20-25 Euros with a cheapest sleeper on Z-Trains.

      Flying is a good bit faster at that distance. But I also prefer high speed rail because it's more environmentally friendly and it's less of a hassle, and I like the views. China has some big advantages over the US in this department though because it has a much bigger market for medium and short range Intercity transport. Most of China's 1.4 billion live in the eastern half of the country, while US's comparatively denser east side has maybe 180 or 200 million people, and thus a lot fewer major urban centers within HSR range of each other. And of course ease of land acquisition and political organization behind infrastructure are way higher in China.

    The price of the train tickets are fixed,it won’t be cheaper if you book it earlier. The price of flight tickets might changed depends on the time you purchase.Some people who are afraid of height they will choose train rather than flights.and also the train always goes on time and you don’t have to arrive to the train station earlier as long as the airport. Even the price are similar ,but the time you spend on train or plane plus the time you heading to the station is similar.and also sometimes the train station is closer to city cbd but the airport is not. So lots of people will choose go by train.

      That's true, but most countries don't even have any train stations that big while China has them in many major cities.

    I just want a high-speed train from L.A. to Las Vegas. Las Vegas has become a very popular tourists destination and driving between L.A. and Las Vegas is a nightmare.

    wow how cool; heard so much about this train and now finally get to see you taking it! such a cool journey. it's always weird to me that business class is better than first class :)
    how did it compare to the Bandung train you took a while ago?

      It was basically the exact same train as in Bandung 😅

      The reason is, most train have 2nd (2+3) & 1st (2+2) class seats.
      For some main popular busy routes between first tier biggest cities, they provide an extra "business" (1+2) class on the top of 2+2 1st class for business people who can afford and want extra space & comfort
      Price: 1st class is 1.5x - 2x 2nd class.
      Business class is nearly 4x regular 2nd class

    Thank you so much for sharing! I haven’t got a chance in trying it, though I have been traveling to China many times in the past 10 years.
