Fast, clean and on time… brought to you by China
I am travelling in China now. I took the highspeed train yesterday, like 306 km/ hour one. It was so good.
Come on, stop pretending. You are Chinese. Your profile picture gives you away
wish you a happy tour in China and welcome
中国欢迎你！
欢迎
Personally, I don't recommend going to Shanghai and Shenzhen. There are only modern buildings. If you want to experience Chinese fashion culture, please come to Chengdu and Chongqing. If you want to experience traditional Chinese culture, Xi'an, Beijing, Luoyang and Nanjing are the best places
Well done china, we indians admire your hard work and progress ❤️
China and India should work together. The 21st century is the Asian century.
Love that they have foldup benches out in the corridors. That's so considerate, the passengers need not all coop up in the cabin.
its all fake china has no trains we only have ox carts
I guess only Nordic and Russian rail have this, in Europe, because their trains are also wide enough for this
@@hobog German trains had this in different coaches. The Interregio 2+3 "Mischbauweise" but also the older Bm coaches with compartments.

Those train stations definitely match an airport standard, insane level of development and rail infrastructure.
Being like an airport is bad for train travel. Trains are supposed to skip typical airport processes
@@hobogairport style design, not process. Ofc you don’t go through security and everything here. It’s much quicker.
Well it does have security checks. But not as strict as airport and it does not have immigration process.
So, It is highy speedy unlike normal airport process
High speed rail in china has a quicker check in than airplanes
You only need to use your ticket I think?and your tourist card if your a tourist?im not sure about tourists since I am a hong konger and we only need the Chinese passports

10:28 I love it when nice people from totally different cultures and areas of the world meet, respect each other mutually and put a smile on each other's face. A journey by train is a good opportunity to witness or even to experience this.
Yes; that is exactly how I remember going by rail in China. You could always have a friendly chat with people - alhough you didn't always spoke each others' languages.
These high speed trains in China are amazing! I've lived in China for a while now and they make travel so much easier ❤
What about the cost? Its cheap or exspensive?
@@sweetpotato3910 非常便宜，任何阶层的人们都能承担。
@@sweetpotato3910 pretty cheap.
@@sweetpotato3910 He said it was about 900 yuan or £100
@@MrDavidc for a long distance £100 is cheap than plane
D class can also go up to 250km/h. However the overnight sleeper trains keep the speed “low” at 200 to make the timing more suitable for a full overnight sleep.
I wish the Indian Railway planners keep this in mind.

中国350时速的高铁一大堆😂@@ocshaljufrian6109
I can't believe how clean everything is in China. From railway station to trains. Seems like people are very mannerly and friendly. WOW ❤❤
High speed rail way is very clean. The low speed train is not as clean as this.
Low speed trains are dirtier, countrysides are even worse, basically dirtier as it gets cheaper
@@wewbie你多少年没坐过低速火车了？说的是30年前吧？😂
my favorite sleeper trains are the Z trains, Z in Chinese means non-stop.
it travels at 160km/h and price is half of high speed D or G train.
z train will have a sound at night, clunk clunk clunk
Not exactly, will stop at some large stations/or very few stations
@@Aapig that cluck is the soul of railway. From this perspective, high speed rail doesn’t have soul because it uses seamless rail
@@lizhongshen Agreed!!!
I am traveling by Z train now😂
30 year ago in 1992, it have take about 35--40 hours from shenzhen to shanghai by train.
I really enjoyed this video, such a a way to travel by rail. Such a good deal 😊

Wow, I'm from the 80's China... Took a sleeper boat from Zhongshan to Guangzhou, it was a surreal experience (moon and farmlands/rice patty's). Back then, I knew that that experience will never ever be the same again....
Haha cool. yes there is still slow train in China and you will still have same experience if you dont have money to buy high speed train😂😂😂😂. I tried it as an adventure last week and it was……😂

Thanks for sharing this with us, Chinese people seem to be enjoying themselves,confident and very friendly,the train is comfortable 🎉🎉🎉
Always love the China high speed train! First time see sleeper high speed train! Thank you!
I have been on the old trains when I first went to China and they were SO SLOW but the new trains are just fantastic so fast and the new sleeper trains are really comfortable and they are still really cheap compared to the UK. Chinese railway stations are vast 😮 especially in the bigger cities they are bigger than some airports. I have to get well again and go back to China miss seeing my relatives and traveling around seeing the sights😊
Nice job Lee to show the real China to the world which is safe, modern and convenient, I remember when my parents came to England few years ago and I took them on the train here it was quite embarrassing with the speed and facilities, it never changed or improved 😢
That is why most Western countries hate China cause in all aspects China is far better ...
It will never changed with elected representatives who are Chinaphobia or make China bashing to score political points and popularity which are not doing well to upgrade when the UK elected reps start banning Huawei for no security reasons. In fact Huawei offer cheaper more efficient communication. To ban Huawei and China companies who are helping the UK economy was a stupid thing to do.. There is no other better cheaper alternative.
We are using Huawei here in ASEAN and our kids and adults are using tik tok without problem. Hahaha that UK PM kowtow to Biden to cancel a meeting with president Xi just because to discuss an Unidentified stray missle which happened to fall into the border of Poland. ASEAN are laughing. The UK PM did not care about the wellbeing of UK and its people. Recently both PM of Singapore and Malaysia were received warmly. There were bilateral investment of billions of dollars. Singapore other than getting China DFI into Singapore also manged to sign MOU to invest in China (good foreign income).
Malaysia on the other hand came back richer with MYR 170 billion in FDI (foreign Direct Investment) from China.
The way lockdowns persisted in the PRC are a huge example of why PRC citizens and foreigners are leaving. PRC tier 1 cities+transit certainly are very nice, however
@@hobog When you have 1.3 billion people, what options do you have in front of Covid ? The millions of lives been saved although a lot of sacrifices been made, in UK when you parents friends were dying or quarantined while your prime minister was having a party, surely I will move back to China whenever I can !

Chinese people are really warm and respectful
Indeed they are..
You don't know about ice cream revolt in china ? Even bmw itself asked sorry to them 😂
@@mortisdeus China has 1.4 billion people. They can't all be friendly. Are all the people in your country good? Your answer is really stupid.
@@mortisdeus 😂Please note that Bmw was not so warm and respectful to Chinese customers on the biggest car exhibition in China. They had a PR crisis.
6:45 That is not a camera, it is a small reading light.😂
thanks for sharing , Welcome back to China.
Smart guy travelling in night on a sleeper train😂. The outstanding feature was that Dining car part. Innovative.
The high speed rail rolling stock with sleeper cabin is simply awesome. NICE👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for this very informative video. I've never taken a high-speed sleeper train. Looks a little tight - but much better than redeye on an airplane.
It’s also cheaper.
and safe more than airplane
Them trains were not designed to accommodate our average American bodies. 😮
@@PeterParker-yp2eo Just imagine the number of lawsuits they will get for obese passengers falling out of the top level bunk beds. It take some arm strength and agility to get on the top level.
@@CycOp did you noticed the sort of step up to go to the bed above, it looks so fragile
Very nice high speed sleeper train, thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
Very nice travelling in China...
Very informative. Did not know the Hi-Speed sleeper train exists. Good to have another alternative for people who don't like flying or the hassles of getting in & out of airports.
It’s also a lot greener. The carbon footprint for such tickets are much lower than flying.
@@davidlazarus67 even more... you can skip a hotel room. Take the train and sleep over night in it, visit (or do your business) in your destination city then get back and sleep again over night.
@@johnsmith-cw3wo Yes and I would love to take such a train from Western Europe all the way to Beijing, stopping at various cities along the way. Then trains all over China, then back to Europe by a different route. It would save the issue of hotels and be perfect for really seeing China.
作为个中国人，做个很多次高铁，我也不知道还有高铁卧铺的存在。从我住的地方到北京430公里，不到两个小时就到了，很难想象多长的距离需要高铁的卧铺。
In China, the hsr stations have the airport hassle, because of excessive security and station location far from city center
Good info. I am planning to travel by train to Chung Ching from Hongkong. So, may try the sleeper train. Thanks Lee.
Love it.
Have taken it with my little family and my 2 years old son.
He was so excited, I didn't have to feed him because all the people on the train gave him snacks and drinks 😂
I just worried that he might fall off the train 😂 being so excited running around.
We took the night train from Shenzhen to Beijing and it truly was an adventure ❤🎉
We will always do it again 💕👍
We ♥️🇭🇰 ! 😊
The Chinese are the most friendly people in the world.
Your son is separate from your family?
@@hobog No, he was always with us but he kept me busy running after him 😅
@@vincenthuang6135 yes, they are.
And I will always appreciate it very much 🥰!
Wow, what a nice way to travel.
The distance between London and Glasgow in Scotland is about 360 miles, if you want to spend Christmas with your family in Scotland you better catch the train now and you might just about make it there christmas eve.
😅
it’s not that bad, but it is much more expensive.
从伦敦去苏格兰在不久的将来需要签证，这正是我期待的。大笑😊
😂😂😂😂
Absolutely loved the video. The sleeper trains really give you that community feel of train travel in China that’s been around since the early days. It’s actually nice that the sleepers in the new trains very closely resemble the old ones. Altho I grew up in Canada, I come from a long line of railway workers going back to my great grandparents. It’s been so good to see China continue to invest in the railway system which is one of the greatest parts of China modern history 🙏

I recently took one from Shenzhen to Beijing over night sleeper as well, with my daughter, slept in the same bed, not too bad, needed a suitcase to support my legs. (a trick for everyone) haha........... under 6 years old is free, between 6 to 14 years old are half price.
I just can’t believe it’s a railway station. That’s amazing!
What a lovely train station.
I want to try it too, amazing China
6:42 那不是摄像头，只是一个阅读灯😂😂
Yeah, I noted that in the video..
They are also smart using the slower first generation D rolling stock for the overnight sleepers and replacing the day trains with 350km+ faster and newer trains
Nice train.

I was pretty dumbfounded in a HuangZhou High Speed Train station. It was so huge that it Iooked like an airport main terminal!

Was Nice Showing Us Around. Great 👍😃
Koreans say: Chinese trains are too slow. We still need to stay overnight on the train. In Greater Korea. Run the entire country in just one hour. The speed of Korean trains is too fast.
🤣🤣🤣
Seems to be a CRH1E trainset, they consist of 16 carriages, 12 soft sleepers like the one you were in, one luxury sleeper (the one with the red seats and little sofa area after the dining car) which has 2 bunks instead of 4, a couch and integrated bathroom, a dinning car and 2 2nd class seating cars on each end of the train. They can go up to 250 kmh, but they usually keep it at 200 kmh for comfort and more convenient traveling times. Marvelous piece of engineering.
这车高级软卧也没有洗手间，沙发较大。
I wish I could take the train when traveling across the ocean, it's way more comfortable
Thank you for bringing us a truly China
china just announced their hyperloop train is ready for mass transport few days back. it can travel 1000kmph, meaning in less than 1.5 years the track will be made available to public
is it real? I am Chinese i dont know even
Thank you for sharing the experience.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the show !!!
No hiding place Barrett, the fans will find you!
I've taken the overnight train between Beijing and Xi'an. It was really convenient and nice.
Shanghai station looks quiet ? Glad you have conversational lingo :-)
Good to know they have sleepers on the high speed trains now before it was only on the slow green trains.
Love it, my favourite too
No matter wich direction I go, after 1000 miles I’ll end up in the sea.
Such huge distance.. absolutely impressive
Bro you are so humorous😂

Thanks for the informative video. It’s a good experience taking the high-speed train.
Thanks for showing the train facilities. It's a bit crowded than I thought.
我也做过一次这样的卧铺列车，从北京到厦门，非常快而且非常舒服
Amazing.❤
My favouritr content... Bullet trains ❤️
Normally i would just fly that distance but the fact that it's a sleeper is great because you don't waste time
I always take bullet train at shenzhen North station to my home town. Nice to see it here❤❤
Looks really nice. I took the first and second class sleepers in China back in the 90's. They were pretty comfortable even back then. Of course, they didn't have the speed, but I enjoyed catching glimpses of the countryside and the towns during the journey.
Yes, I agree, they were a great experience for sure..
I liked it too
This train really is amazing 👏 i wish we had some of those in USA 🇺🇸
Thanks for the video. Good choice of saving both lodge costs and time while traveling in China.
Shanghai to Moscow sleeper, dreaming of this thing.
Thanks 👍
thanks for sharing your travelling in China
looks much better than old style train. cleaner, smarter

Thanks for sharing your special C train experience. I just flew Shanghai from Hong Kong last week. My flight from HKG to Shanghai was 11.55am. I need to head off to Hong Kong airport at 9am, checked in 2 hours before take off, flights, go through customs and luggage claim at arrival and travel from airport to Shanghai downtown ( I took the Maglev train which connects Shanghai Pudong International Airport and Longyang Road Station in the outskirts of central Pudong). It took 8 hours at least in total. My plane ticket costs 2 times of this sleeper train(Return). Next time I will definitely consider taking the sleeper train, considering the time cost and price. It would be a cool experience for my sons too.
Thanks for sharing. Wish you having a good one in Shanghai!
There’re also high speed train which is G series from Hk to Shanghai,which costs about 900 yuan rmb and 8 hours to get the destination . However the two stations (West Kowloon Station, Hong Kong and Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station) are closer to the downtown areas of the two cities than the airports. And more important, u can use your phone and stand or walk at anytime u want!
It is true that you skip your hotel night stay with this type of overnight travel with bed provided. Good idea, and value for value.
yes... much better than getting early morning to airport, then take the ''red eye'' back.
