Chinese railway stations are modern and clean. But they are definitely NOT quiet. The ticket offices are horrendously noisy, with shockingly loud tannoy systems and loudpeakers, (and not a little pushing and shoving). Usually you have to queue up for about half an hour to buy a ticket.Sometimes, I suppose, much longer. You are always subjected to at least one airline style security check, and sometimes you are checked even before buying a ticket, then again before entering the departure area. There's little freedom of movement around a Chinese railway station. Once in the departure area, there you remain till your train arrival is announced. Then you are directed to the platform. (id and ticket check first)You must carry identification with you when buying the ticket, and usually you will be expected to show your ticket and id before entering the departure lounge, again before entering the train's platform again, another check once on the train, then often a further check when exiting the train at your destination. The last train I was on, laughably, had a recorded message informing me in English that if I was caught on the train without a valid ticket, I would be prosecuted and placed on a government blacklist for the offence. Honestly, what are the chances of sneaking onto a Chinese train without a ticket? Absolutely tiny. The Chinese system is obsessed with security. The european idea of just rocking up at a train station, sometimes even just walking onto the train and buying your ticket on the train itself, sans id, sans security checks just ain't the Chinese way. One very strange thing also about Chinese train stations is that they are often an hour long bus journey outside the centre of town. I wouldn't trade the Chinese rail setup for say the British one for all the tea in China, no matter how old fashioned our rail network is in comparison. Ditto the Indian System, which perhaps veers in the oppsite direction of being almost totally unconcerned with security and safety issues, but I vastly prefer the freedom of the chaotic Indan system to the ridiculously over controlled Chinese network.
+Martin Cleary dude I am Indian from India and we Indian are trying our best to have Chinese styled system in India .by 2028 we will have 12 such railway system
half an hour to buy one ticket? in fact, you can buy tickets on automatic fetching machines. You do not know that? It usually takes me 3-5 minutes to buy tickets. Being checked when entering the railway station also makes the ride safer. At least you do not have to worry about terrorism. Did you read the news that four Hongkong residents got attacked in Germany on a train recently? China's railway stations are 1 hour long bus journey outside the town? I really wonder whether you visited China. Shanghai has 3 major railway stations and they are all located in different part of the urban area. You can find their locations on Google maps easily. Beijing also has 3 railway stations and they are all located in the downtown area. I do not know which city you visited. Usually these stations are connected by subway lines, BRT, or light rails. Security is absolutely important. If you life can be endangered, will you take the train? Apparently not.
Yup, I'm in China. If I take the 93 bus from where I live in Jiaxing, it takes an hour to get to the train station, which is in the middle of nowhere. There is no subway in Jiaxing. My opinion about security on trains is that there is a trade off between security , convenience, and freedom of movement. European/American trains are safe. Millions of people use them every day, and it's just not worth locking down an entire country or continent just to prevent the very occasional act of terror. To do so is to adjust your whole way of life in order to accommodate the terrorists, and I just cannot see the logic of it. For one thing, the sheer expense of the security apparatus must be massive in comparison to the likely benefits. Sure, if attacks happened every week, bombs went off every month or two, I would reconsider. But that absolutely is not the case, and In reality, you have much greater chance of being run over in a traffic accident, or dying of NOx pollution, but I don't see anyone in China (or anywhere else) clamouring to say, reduce the speed limit to 15kph and to triple the price of cars. Life is inherently dangerous, you take risks every day, and in this case, the tiny risk of terror attacks, for the time being, do not justify s stultifying security response. As for obtaining tickets electronically, well, I know that it can be done, but as a foreigner, I'm not really sure how I do that, and judging by the queues that I have encountered, for some reason, people often don't obtain their tickets electronically.
Martin Cleary There are three stations in Jiaxing. If the place you live is still far away from any of them, I am so sorry about that. But in my city, it normally takes me 10-20 minutes to get to the station. So that is not a problem for me. Next time I suggest you take a taxi. LOL. Yes, I agree with you. Different people have different attitudes towards life. I lived in New York city for a couple of years and I was really afraid of terrorism. The subway system in NYC has no safety inspection procedure. And my friend's new SUV was stolen but NYPD said they could not find it. That is impossible in China because video cameras are installed everywhere. American people focus more on individual privacy than safety I think. As for tickets, I usually buy them online and then go to any machine in the station to print them. It is fast and easy. Next time you can do this.
Aactually the high speed train is already like a bus system in China, if you miss this train, there will be another one on the same line to arrive in about 30 minutes.
Yeah, thanks, the Chinese government promote real estate market, raise up the land price, and sell the land to the house developer for a large money, and put the money to build these infrastructure. After a line is finished, for the locations it run through, the land and house prices will also be higher, and the government sell it again to collect money for more projects. so it's a loop.
The 30min gap only works for short distance and/or busy routes (Beijing-Tianjin/Shanghai etc.), my hometown is Zibo, Shandong, and the service gap of Beijing-Qingdao trains is mostly 1 hour, I believe some other services may have longer gaps.
I traveled from Shanghai to Xian on one of these trains. It is a great way to travel to travel. I have used similar trains in Vietnam and Thailand and always enjoyed it. A very cost effective way to travel in Asia .
Because India has been more concerned about China, they think that China is their catch up with the object. But India does not understand China, so it is blind
Shah Rukh Sayed Easy as fuck, tell your government, grab your money or something same value agricultural product come to China,sign a contract, just buy it dude. Actually, Thailand using rice change our train and tanks. This is not a nuclear missile. Bullet train can be sell for sure. is not secret technology or what special pieces.
Rex S check the world top 500 companies ranked by Fortune. China got more than 100 companies. Guess how many Indian companies have? Only 7. USA got 134 companies and China 103. Felt so bad for Indians that elites all serve for other countries. Like your said, google ceo is an Indian. Well, it’s right but remember Google is an American company
Back in the 80s I was working in Shenyang in NE China. When I was done, i needed to get to Hong Kong. Since the airport was closed due to heavy snow, I caught a sleeper train to Beijing. Since I was the only person on the train who spoke English figuring out things was difficult. However, there was always a packet of tea bags and a large thermos jug of hot water outside my door each morning. When I got to Beijing, I found the airport there also snowed in. So, I got another train to Quangzhou and then took a hover craft down the Pearl River to Hong Kong. It was quite an experience and as I remember it took 3 or 4 days. No high speed trains in those days !
+Muhammad Anwar How can you tell India a terrorist country India has never attacked any country. All the terrorist activity took place in Pakistan like army school incident
I know about you , you are not Muslim you are a Hindu . we know better than with you . even we are making gowadar port why India interfering and crying weeping . kulboshin yadiv is prof . OK
Kashmiri people want freedom you open eyes they are come out with flag of Pakistan. 80000 thousands Muslims in Kashmir killed Indian coward army . millions are missing .
+Muhammad Anwar Hahaha I know that you consider me a Hindu . But there are so many Indian Muslim like me who love their country. If people like you support on the basis of religion then Apj Abdul kalam would be the scientists of Pakistan. As far as the matter of Kashmir they are themselves responsible , Indian government provide so many facility to the kashmiri but still they support Pakistan
I really admire the Chinese leadership that they have provided the same levels of luxury and standards of living as the west and seriously disappointed in India .Great going China , seeing this makes my country suck .
am working in shanghai... i rly feel pity about our Indian current status.... we are going to back day by day... Chinese govt. provide more importance for public... but our Indian govt. are busy on filling their pockets.....
Mr. Raghav garg, please do not be depressed and feel bad. Of course right now Indian Railway is not as good as China, but why it is so, have you ever thought of it any time? China has accumulated huge wealth by trading with rest of the world and is capable of providing luxury train facility. Remember China was not this good some 50 years ago. China was as good/bad as India long back. Chinese Industrial revolution is the key factor for the success. India is also a developing country. If PM Modi's long time dream of developing India into a powerful nation becomes a reality, India will also improve a lot in the coming days. Have faith in PM Modi's work.
I took the thello sleeper train from Milan to Paris and it was a disaster lol So old and so dirty. The staff did not even bother to clean the toilet after they arrive from Paris to Milan. So it hasnt been cleaned for two days.
remember, only 30 years ago, the railway system in China is far more than old, ineffective, crowded and slow and just like or less than many developing countries.
Last time I travelled in Rajdhani a week ago it was like the aisles were full of wrappers or plastic bottles, paper chunks thrown here and there, and the half emptied food trays were lying in the corner scattering dals/curry out and reaching to people's luggages. By what I saw it was the middle aged uncles and aunties mostly who were littering.
About 20 years ago, it took me 12 hours travelling from Jinan (a city located between Beijing and Shanghai) to Shanghai. Now it takes only 3 and half hours on a G train.
Very nice and awesome... I wish u could've shown some scenic Nature's beauty too... maybe in daytime in ur next trip. I liked the Coaches Design and Comfort. Really, India needs to learn more from China than Just a Power fight. Chinese Government has done much for people, and Shanghai is a Great Beautiful city... Cleanliness and entrance was also a noticeable aspect.. I wish to travel to China soon. Please Guide me as to how to book tickets for train travel... thank you. great video, please upload more.
5h by a high speed G-train (top speed 300 km/h）or nearly 12h by the train shown in the video, or more than 20h by a normal quick train. The distance between Beijing and Shanghai is about 1400 km.
Dear Mark Smith ! You are real Wizard ! It's real a Talent ! Very interesting video ! * It's better to see once than hear a hundred voices ! Special thanks for Your golden hands ! My best friendly hugs for Your real jewelry work ! Vl'ado. Jul 01,2018
The new sleeper train between shanghai and beijing is much better. Worth the try. Price is the same. Also remember to book food delivery in advance , which is only available in china.
yes, that's possible. but it's China, you are totally safe. I rarely heard any assault happened in this case. moving to another cabin is also pretty often if you ask the crews for help.
India is still a long way to go in this field. Super fast trains require perfect track maintenance and any shortcoming will lead to a massive disaster, much severe than what happened today. My suggestion is, Indian Railways be handed over to the military. They will certainly do a better job.
Hasan Iqbal uneducated people like you don't even have any idea what you are talking about. we are years ahead of Porkistan & Bangladesh in railway system.
I have to tell you that this train, despite its look, don't run at the dedicated high-speed tracks at all, which closes at around 2-5am for daily maintenance. 100% of its journey are on the old railway, max speed at 160kph.
That's exactly what I expected when I bought the ticket, and I initially find it a very innovative idea to do that; however, when I board the train and ask where will the train depart from the Passenger Dedicated Line (PDL) and join the old route, the conductor said no PDL segment is included in the itinerary. Actually before the grand opening of Beijing-Shanghai PDL, there are diesel locomotive train that can complete the route non-stop in exactly 12 hours. Using EMU trains really don't help much. So... somewhat disappointed. The old route is very old, very busy and very slow. There are many very curvy segments as it wind through the city centers. Partially (25%) adopting PDL until somewhere near Jinan can save somewhat two hours, and push the departure time to 9.30pm - much more convenient as people can finish a proper dinner.
Donghai Gai I took the high speed train which was G instead of D from Guangzhou south to XI'AN north which the distance is more the 1700KM, 5 stops in between, took me 8 hours. And also the D train from Beijing to Tianjin which took 45mins, and Zhuhai to Guangzhou South in 1hr and 15mins with 3 stops in between. So what was the speed?
Generally speaking D one notch slower than G; and it should be true that for any given pair of origin and destination, D will take more time and is cheaper. But you do need to compare case-in-case. G may be only marginally faster.
This line was already backed speed: 300 KM/Hour since 2014, it will further back to 350KM/Hour this year. It's called G-Line, the D-Line running in this railway was limited to speed 250 KM/Hour but the price of this line is lower 20% than the G-Line.

clean and beautiful stations and train also. washroom is also very clean. wonderful.
india have long history and kind people，i believe india can do the better in the future ，wish from beijing
And I am surprised that Indian style toilet are also available. Earlier I thought that it is used only in India and pakistan
those toilets are common in east Asia, Japan and Taiwan also use those.
they r called squat toilet. they are common across Asia.

Beautiful city and the train was so clean and orderly with options on the toilets, Thank you for this upload. Much appreciated.
Why a Chinese bullet train video，and the comments mainly come from Indian…
Because India has a large rail network but high speed rail networks are still on inception.. So curious.
Alex Earl because there are 1.2 billion indian in the world.
Because India has been more concerned about China, they think that China is their catch up with the object. But India does not understand China, so it is blind
Because westerners are all in replies bullshitting about CCP.
@@girishrawal8612 actually usa has the largest rail network in the world.
I am so amazed their railway station are just like airports.. I really wish to see my india like this one day even better than this insha'allah

Back in the 80s I was working in Shenyang in NE China. When I was done, i needed to get to Hong Kong. Since the airport was closed due to heavy snow, I caught a sleeper train to Beijing. Since I was the only person on the train who spoke English figuring out things was difficult. However, there was always a packet of tea bags and a large thermos jug of hot water outside my door each morning. When I got to Beijing, I found the airport there also snowed in. So, I got another train to Quangzhou and then took a hover craft down the Pearl River to Hong Kong. It was quite an experience and as I remember it took 3 or 4 days.

Nostalgia!!!
Back in the old times!!
I have traveled frm Guangzhou to Beijing 8 years ago.....a lot has changed.👍👌👌👌👌

When you buy tickets you can choose to occupy the whole room yourself with a 4-person price. lol
Good short video. I liked it. Thanks.
I took the thello sleeper train from Milan to Paris and it was a disaster lol So old and so dirty. The staff did not even bother to clean the toilet after they arrive from Paris to Milan. So it hasnt been cleaned for two days.
Really appreciated, this is what we call system, clean & ontime, looking forward in future for same in india, nothing is impossible 👍
Thank you, nice video.
so nice, so beautiful, I would like to travel.
Love from India to China 🇨🇳
remember, only 30 years ago, the railway system in China is far more than old, ineffective, crowded and slow and just like or less than many developing countries.
Remember those old days in Chinese new years? People in the train stations? Our Chinese government is doing a pretty good job for us. =D
yeah，quite a dream。简直是一场大梦。
I think your officials are to serious.
When i hear there is D train accident that cause human life, they execute the train ministries, Is that true?
Fantastic Video!!! LIKE
very nice very clean train . because of their great confidence to do work in a new way
Smooth service of the Chinese Railway System. It's just superb and fantastic.
Hey buddy nice video, but very short time. Anyway thank for share!!!
I like that both style of toilet's. Asian style toilet system has been proven good for health compare to western style.
jerseyman9080 yes it's good for legs and kidney lol
wow, great Video!!!
Last time I travelled in Rajdhani a week ago it was like the aisles were full of wrappers or plastic bottles, paper chunks thrown here and there, and the half emptied food trays were lying in the corner scattering dals/curry out and reaching to people's luggages.

Nice video, thx!
very informative video.
thanks 👌👍👌
This is a fruit of public, government discipline and hardwork..
About 20 years ago, it took me 12 hours travelling from Jinan (a city located between Beijing and Shanghai) to Shanghai. Now it takes only 3 and half hours on a G train.
very good I must appreciate from India.
Yeah.I love Shanghai..
Excellent Railway, Salute to the people of china for supoort in maintaining the train
Very nice and awesome...
I wish u could've shown some scenic Nature's beauty too... maybe in daytime in ur next trip.
I liked the Coaches Design and Comfort.
Really, India needs to learn more from China than Just a Power fight. Chinese Government has done much for people, and Shanghai is a Great Beautiful city...
Cleanliness and entrance was also a noticeable aspect..
I wish to travel to China soon.
Please Guide me as to how to book tickets for train travel...
thank you.
great video, please upload more.
wow..so beautiful stations like airports
make full and detail video likr 25 to 45 mins one. i am sure people will love those long one rather than short. Still thumbs up for this.
@Mark Smith, Thank you for sharing the video. Can you tell me what makes you to disable commenting features on another video for China?

Really really this is awesoms amazing
this is amazing. i wish i would board this train someday. want to visit and see china.
Absolutely amazing..,
china is really great yrr
respect from India
Hello! Great video!!!
Interesting vid Mark!
Thanks.
How long does it take actually from Beijing to Shanghai?
5h by a high speed G-train (top speed 300 km/h）or nearly 12h by the train shown in the video, or more than 20h by a normal quick train. The distance between Beijing and Shanghai is about 1400 km.
In the meanwhile America has old-fashioned trains.
Andres Olguín but American sleepers have your own toilet.
Maybe Americans prefer driving or flight.
Maybe American airlines and carmakers owners prefer planes and cars.
But America has efficient airlines. Have been to both US and China, both systems are just fine.
beautiful sanghai train station facilities and much more ***

The China Railways DF11G with "跨越" Logo,every Chinese railfan will shed tears for that view.
this is new train so it looks clean and beautiful after 1year if the train is in same condition then it's great
Very good view
How long was the journey, how long the distance between Shanghai and Beijing?
1318km in 4h48min。 now china has 20000KM high speed railway。
Steven Torrey from Beijing to shanghai about 1300KM,4 hours!
Dream country i wil go there for 7days tour
+mark smth putting your phone on airplane mode will stop that annoying noise and you can have clean audio.
Great facilities
beautiful bullet trains
The new sleeper train between shanghai and beijing is much better. Worth the try. Price is the same. Also remember to book food delivery in advance , which is only available in china.
Fabulous!
Are the berths allocated to your ticket or first in first serve?
Berth and car number printed on your ticket - like sleeper trains everywhere, really.
Thanks. Ive never been on one but looking at going SHA to BEI in February.
So you could end up sleeping with three men if you are a woman in the SAME room?
no, it was assigned when you buy the ticket
yes, that's possible. but it's China, you are totally safe. I rarely heard any assault happened in this case. moving to another cabin is also pretty often if you ask the crews for help.
very neat n clean ..... guys what about INDIAN Railway ??????

CHINA MEIN SAFAI KA SAPNA MR MODI NE 100 SAAL PEHLE DEKHA THA ISLIYE SAFAAI HONI CHAHIYE YA NAHIN
Indian railways are Good But people are worst they don't deserve even a cycle....
Are there any sockets in the compartment?
the station was so clean and amazing....india mein aisa kyun nahi.....
India ke logo ki wajah se. Agar sab log stations ganda na kare to India ka stations bhi saaf rahenge
Love your videos very informative, but do you buy the whole cabin when you travel? I've always had someone with me on a sleeper train.
How long does it take from beijing to shanghai and how many stop?
please my Indian railway watch video and improvise as compare to china
yes, mission started by modi
India is still a long way to go in this field. Super fast trains require perfect track maintenance and any shortcoming will lead to a massive disaster, much severe than what happened today. My suggestion is, Indian Railways be handed over to the military. They will certainly do a better job.

Hasan Iqbal uneducated people like you don't even have any idea what you are talking about. we are years ahead of Porkistan & Bangladesh in railway system.
Railway stations are much larger than here's biggest airports.
This is the same in japan's sleeper train. It only runs overnight at 10pm.
Is that the old Jinghu Railway

The taste of train food is a little weird, even worse than those served on the plane, usually i prefer to boil some instant noodle by myself.
Well developed
and
Well advanced.
looking very nice !
I am still waiting for India be like this.
I have to tell you that this train, despite its look, don't run at the dedicated high-speed tracks at all, which closes at around 2-5am for daily maintenance. 100% of its journey are on the old railway, max speed at 160kph.
I think it used sections of H-S route, which is why it beats the classic sleeper trains by several hours!
That's exactly what I expected when I bought the ticket, and I initially find it a very innovative idea to do that; however, when I board the train and ask where will the train depart from the Passenger Dedicated Line (PDL) and join the old route, the conductor said no PDL segment is included in the itinerary.
Actually before the grand opening of Beijing-Shanghai PDL, there are diesel locomotive train that can complete the route non-stop in exactly 12 hours. Using EMU trains really don't help much.
So... somewhat disappointed. The old route is very old, very busy and very slow. There are many very curvy segments as it wind through the city centers. Partially (25%) adopting PDL until somewhere near Jinan can save somewhat two hours, and push the departure time to 9.30pm - much more convenient as people can finish a proper dinner.
Donghai Gai I took the high speed train which was G instead of D from Guangzhou south to XI'AN north which the distance is more the 1700KM, 5 stops in between, took me 8 hours. And also the D train from Beijing to Tianjin which took 45mins, and Zhuhai to Guangzhou South in 1hr and 15mins with 3 stops in between. So what was the speed?
Generally speaking D one notch slower than G; and it should be true that for any given pair of origin and destination, D will take more time and is cheaper. But you do need to compare case-in-case. G may be only marginally faster.
This line was already backed speed: 300 KM/Hour since 2014, it will further back to 350KM/Hour this year. It's called G-Line, the D-Line running in this railway was limited to speed 250 KM/Hour but the price of this line is lower 20% than the G-Line.
superb i like so much

Manjunatha G H welcome
The D type trains are the sleep type trains?? I get confused
No, G is high speed train, D is a level down. Both have sleeper trains.
