    The old Beijing to Zhangjiakou railway is historical significant since it's the first to be designed by a Chinese engineer more than a century ago. Many places are named according to the line including Wudaokou (5th crossing), where lots of foreign students hanging around. however as the new highspeed rail is built in the tunnel underneath, the old rails at the city center are removed. No more crossing at the 5th crossing.

    Love your videos. This reminds me of the Bullet Trains (Shinkansen) and Stations in Japan when I lived there during in the early 1990s. From memory though there was no business class. But believe me they were so good, you wouldn't need it. Japanese Shinkansen standard cabins look considerably better (less congested) then Chinese Second Class. Noise is also never a problem on Japanese trains - unless foreigners are on them!

    10:40 That connection is not to the old Beijing-Baotou railway, but a stub line to Yanqing where some events of the winter games were held.
    20:08 Unlikely, as the trans-mongolian express will likely remain a conventional train whose locomotives use LKJ signalling while the high speed lines are only equipped with CTCS. It might be possible to avoid the detour using the Tangshan-Baotou railway (passenger trains ran on that line before the high speed line entered service) but since then it has been saturated with freight.

    One would rarely see an international speeping car train on true high speed lines. On fast lines like netherland and germany, you can see mixture of equipment, but on true high speed ones it is harder since a slow train would wreck havok on schedules for the fast trains. And if the sleeping car needs to wait at each station to let true high speed train pass, its travel time may not be that different from using the conventional line.
