CHINA TRAINS ARE AMAZING! (British Couple First Impressions of China’s Bullet Train) 🇨🇳

China is such a futuristic country! Amazing! ❤😊

Bullet trains in China are designed to have 8 carriages in a group, with a bullet head at both ends. They could oparate on their own, but sometimes 2 groups are linked together head to head, to have a long train with 16 carriages. In this situation, you can walk though carriage 1 to 8, or 9 to 16, but not from carriage 8 to 9, since obviously there is no way to cross from one bullet head to another. You could see how it's linked at 9:50 That lady with a child at 10:52, she brough a ticket of "no seat". "No seat" tickets could be brough with the same price as the second class, but no seat assigned for you. So even if all seats are sold out, you could still buy a "no seat" ticket and get on the train. You may sit anywhere empty, as long as no one claims it, but once the owner comes, you have to get up and go, that was what she did.

This is just a short-distance "Hexie" train. Strictly speaking, it is not a real high-speed train. The real high-speed train is the "Fuxing" train starting with G.

I went on the High Speed Train from Beijing to Shanghai. Mate ... it was so comfortable, and I did the glass of water test ... and the surface of the water was still. I met about 20 Aussie Tourists and we found our way to the Cafeteria carriage. We drank the whole supply of Beer they had. And the Train Hostesses and us where just having fun and laughing most to the way. We took some photos of wearing the Train Hostesses hats. I wish we had High Speed Rails in Australia, travelling at 350kph. Maaaaatttttttteeeee ... that would be FANTASTIC. Come on Australia, get our Chinese mates over and get them to build the HSR networks for us, connecting all our cities together!!!!

Mark Twain wrote, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

Every China travel vlog ends up an gourmet vlog.😄

The reason why the escalator after leaving the Great Wall Railway Station is so long is that when the railway was built on this section of the Great Wall, a deep excavation was carried out to protect the Great Wall.

That is well worth it for $1.10

Yes, high speed train is the best in China, but please dont be late, you almost wasted first class tickets. Glad you guys still enjoyed it after that

People used the escalators, not the stairs, to save themselves for the long climb of the Great Wall later. Can't wait for the next episode. 👍

You are allowed to eat and drink on board the trains in China, so you don't need to finish your tacos in a rush. You may bring in your own street food, or ordering online on your phone, the foods are delivered at coming stations to you via the carriage attendants, or visiting the dinning carriage, or just wait in your seats for the attendant to bring in the lunchboxes of the day to you on his/her trolley 🛒.

China's high-speed rail is very busy. During the May 1st holiday period, the daily passenger number is about 17 million.

The pancakes looked too "bloody" delicious! Ha! Ha!

The lady carrying a baby bought a standing ticket, she was just trying to find an unoccupied seat to sit.

Smartphones get smarter in China! Amazing that all bits and pieces of daily routines are so orderly and conveniently available through the phone!

This should be a relatively old model of intercity railway starting with D

Sorry that you were not able to sit together....but hope that you will have more other train rides in China!

The train you're travelling on is a train set made up of two moving trainsets combined, which was created because the train was very heavily patronised, and in order to bring in more guests, the two trains were combined and run, resulting in the front and rear cars not being able to run through each other, as a locomotive was sandwiched in the middle, so you needed to cross over the locomotive from the station platform to reach the other train's car halfway through the journey.

The ticket binding to passport/id prevents 'ticket scalping' ... which was a problem during holidays.

you brits always gotta make catching the train dramatic lol. I gotta say, you packed in a lot more than your buddies. I was just mentioned in the last episode about jian bing which you got for breakfast this time around 😂. and looks like you going to have a busy one at the great wall 🤣
