I appreciate it.
i took a highspeed train from shanghai to jinan and left my backpack on the train which made it's way onwards to beijing. i informed the information counter and left my phone number, that evening i got a call to come pick it up at the station. All my stuff was intact.
lucky you..... sometime other people will pick it up and keep it, it happened to me before.
中国？@@alexshawcn
same me too I never lost my stuff in China, always found, n no pickpocket or homeless
we have traveled half the country in china via HSR, it's cheap and amazingly convenient vs a plane. We started in Hangzhou and went north, then west all the way to xinjiang, and now in chengdu...still going!
Great. Have a nice trip bro❤
@@hyan8657 Thank you!
祝你在中国玩得开心
@@jiahaochu643 谢谢，我出生于杭州，我太太是台湾人，我们已经回来了，打算在国内常住了。
where do you book the ticket as a foreigner? the website or place please? :)
I am jealous of China right now. I wish my country has all this. People should stop being envious of China. This country is on the move. I like it.
Thank you, sir.
you know what, when i played game the punk 2077. i feel like times back, not in future. because in China everything already been paid by facial recognition. and drones robots are already quit often to meet.
@@louiswu6300 very true... speaking of robots i had a bad(or rather a funny one) experience in China tho. So i was staying in a hotel where u can order food to ur room, and robots do the delivery. But the robots has a slight problem, they will tell u to open their "head" and take ur food out and close back, they can't close themselves, and when u forget to close it'll warn u by shouting "XiaoAi(the robot's name)'s head is open, XiaoAi's head is open". And yet idk which idiot still didnt close it, so it was running back in the hotel corridor shouting "XiaoAi's head is open!" really scared me at night🤣like imagine i just wanted to go back to my room from my friend's one at night, and i opened the door somthing white walked pass me and shouted the head is open... creepy af man🤣
@@wangyuning285 😂 that's because it is just a robot. not AI. with a head from chatGPT will sovle that stupidity. few years in future, i guess we will finally have a nice talking with robots.
You should come to Hangzhou, it's a beautiful city which only take less than an hour by train.
I took that exact train to Xi'an in 2019 but economy and it was probably the best travel experience I've had. China's high-speed rail deserves more attention for being top rate and one of a kind at this point.
Are you half Chinese and Pakistan?
I don't understand 'one of a kind' though? China's bullet trains come from 1997 Japan and 1994 France. Korea, Russia, there are so many European High-speed trains that you can nearly say "all of them", the USA has their high speed trains.
I realize there are different kinds and for example 'Maglev' is specific kind but those are found around the world too.
@@GeoMeridium The US has high-speed rail, Europes are small sections and Japan is a smaller land mass. Yep.
So, now all you have for "one-of-a-kind is that Mainland China has THE MOST KMS.
(which was a terrible mistake as we'll find out) but you've now been reduced to:
Ya but China has 30,000 kms of network!
Then realizing "oh, I better overcompensate now" you scream its the greatest modern engineering accomplishment but its not. Nothing is new. I mean sure, credit German, French and Japanese engineers who helped transfer this copy of a 30 year old technology but its not some new engineering anything.
but yes its 30,000 kms long
@@topsuperseven7910 geez.....it's really important for you to deny China's achievemets isn't it? So how many kms of high speed rail does the US have exactly? And where is it? The very fact that you don't understand that a 30,000 Km network is in itself an engineering feat......especially when a lot of it is at high elevation in a country as massive as China......is hilarious and speaks volumes to how clueless you are. Of course what's even funnier is how you try to just entirely skip over the mag lev as if it's nothing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. So tell me .....where is America's Mag lev train?
And you are peddling such BS. Building a nationwide high speed network is not a mistake. It is never a mistake to have it. China has a world class infrastructure and transport system. The US does not. Next you are going to tell me that China's universal health care system is a bad idea as compared to America's rapacious for profit health care system.....
Most of Americans prefer everything of Japan because of all those anti China propaganda
Indonesia and China both have the highest operating speed passenger train: 350km/h ! Indonesia is the only country in the entire southern hemisphere with a true 350km/h high-speed rail.
No 2: ICE 3, Germany: (330 km/h)
No 3: TGV, France: (320 km/h)
No 4: Shinkansen, Japan: (320 km/h) (czcams.com/video/P5jREnAZF1c/video.html)
You forgot to mention that China financed and built it for you.
Congratulations Indonesia,it was good coordinated with china
Everything will get better. Progress is good. Perhaps the railway can not be profitable, but the derivative value of the railway is often huge
yeah, and the Indonesia one is completely constructed by China. There's nothing to be surprised it can reach 350km/h.
@@allance9760 Nop, not all people are able to choose a success route，Vietnamese chose Japan for example.
I was a heavy user of both hi-speed trains in China as well as Eurostar and TGV in Europe, I would say they are pretty similar in terms of comfortableness and convenience. China train got one advantage though, is that you could pre-order food from local train station shops on the way.
The difference being Chinese train tickets usually have a fixed rate, they very rarely discounted. Long distance HSR tickets usually are more expensive than flying economy if booked early.
European train tickets seems to fluctuate a lot based on demand and the lowest seat class is 2-2 configuration.
2-3 config of Chinese HSR is not that comfy though more affordable.
Wait, I thought it was a common thing, here in Indonesia you can also pre-order food from our train app to local restaurant near train station and the Train staff will bring it to your seat's.
@@daviano_R.T. Oh really? I am in Indonesia now and I'm not aware of it. Maybe I could try it next time. I never tried the long distance train in Indonesia, most of time is eithet car or flight.

Hi bro~
The latest model of High-speed train is called Fuxing intelligent EMU.
The business seat above is the same as the aircraft.
Hope you have a chance to experience it~😁
Thanks for sharing your journey, brother. The train was so clean
So sad you didn't retrieve the lost footage of the trip from Beijing to Shanghai. Most of the vloggers only take a short trip to film the business class. Sly is the only one I saw on youtube who bought a business class ticket on a trip more than 1000km. What a shame for those footages!
Not many passenger here travel bussiness class because more often than not it's as expensive as or even more expensive than travelling by air. I prefer first class because it has more than enough space for me and as a young man I don't really need the extra lumbar support. Its way way cheaper than the business class.
@eddiehughes2888trains are more scenic though
The white blue trains uses import technology where the red ones are using Chinese local technology. I think the red G line are the fastest at 350kph.
Never thought I'd say this.. but even though I travel as much as you do, I still get to live vicariously through you just from watching your vids!
Trivia: Spain and France have longer HSR than Japan. But it is rarely mentioned, we only know Japan as some kinda pinnacle of high speed train. But ofc nothing will beat HSR in China. It is so insanely massive and cost efficient.
Spain and France also has much faster trains, Italy has the cheapest and best competing services. China is simply the biggest, the longest, and the highest capacity. But nothing beats Japan in terms of convenience, efficiency, and service - things that actual travelers, not train enthusiasts and number crunchers actually cares about. Since 1964, it has zero accidents, zero deaths, despite numerous natural disasters like earthquake and tsunami. Its Tokkaido line is also the most profitable HSR service in the world.
All in all, Japan still wins, because they run on dedicated tracks, stops at the "right stations" with plenty of railway connections, and the process to board one is the simplest among all HSR systems in the world. But it is also quite expensive, can't easily be replicated outside Japan.
The Spanish, French, Italian, and Chinese services are all air travel killers with their very competitive pricing with a lot of export potential.
@yohannessulistyo4025 everybody is praising chinese high-speed train not the japanese.....Chinese trains and infrastructures are just superiorly convenient and superb
Apparently though, the cost to build many of the lines was probably too much (in China, that is), and now they have an issue maintaining them going forward, and paying off the debt for the build. Check back in 20 years to see how it's doing....
@@yohannessulistyo4025 Japan HSR have not accident since 1964, is misinformation, check the information online. Pls.
Suggest check "coin stand on HSR" in different countries, befor made your comment.

Thanks a tonne man
I rode the high speed train in the first 3 weeks it opened in shanghai. Top speed was 399kph (still have the video recording), they slow down the speed due to safety, otherwise it will be at another level 😮
The internet service is unbelievable fast everywhere 😅
* km/h, not "kph" (kilopicohours).
The original high-speed train operated at 400 km/h, but there was a serious accident, after which the speed limit was enforced at 350 km/h
Think this is the old version business class, the new version is fish bone arrangement one seat each side with privacy panels, big screen entertainment system, similar to airplane business class seat.
Interesting video
Wow nice

The ticket price for chinese HSR first class is 0.72rmb/km, thats about $0.1/km. 0.46rmb/km for second class. that price is for G train, D train even cheaper.
Though trains in Guangdong are more expensive per km and slower
thanks to 抢铁
Thank you for the video! Could you tell me which VPN do you use in China?
I'm so glad you are visiting Xi'an, Xi'an is kind of where I grew up. I hope that you'll enjoy the food here, be prepared for the carbohydrate bomb : ) I want to thank you for let me revisit my teenage + college days (in Xi'an) and work days in Beijing through CZcams, given that I'm over 10,000 km away in Canada and haven't been back home for over 4 years.
hi! i personally have considered moving to china. what would you say are the pros and cons there?
@@glowiedetector Sure, China is huge, I'm assuming that you plan to stay in the big cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Chengdu, Suzhou, Nanjing). You should be able to survive given that lots of people speak English, IMO Shanghai is probably the best in these cities in terms of communication if you have little knowledge of Chinese.
Pros: 1) Safety, I felt pretty safe to walk on the street at mid night, just overall it's pretty safe. 2) Infrastructure: convenient public transit system, and high speed trains to travel across China 3) Food, it really depends on your preference, but luckily there's plenty to choose from 4) Culture: China influenced a lot of the countries in east Asia like Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, although the cultural revolution took away a lot, Chinese culture is still interesting to explore 5) Sceneries: China is huge, meaning there's many sceneries you can pay visits too, some have a very long history. It's also close to Japan/Korea/Taiwan and SEA countries, it's convenient to take a 3~4 hour flight to visit these places as well.
Cons: 1) Surveillance: there's lots of these security cameras in these big cities, if you're growing up in the west probably you will not feel comfortable with it, they do keep the city safe, but at a cost. 2) Some rules made by government are vague and not very friendly, you can read the news about COVID-19 restrictions in China, some are ridiculous, COVID is over now in China, but be prepared for the inconvenience these ambiguities may cause, I certainly hope you don't get any of these :) 3) Language (probably not a Con): Chinese language is HARD to learn, but once you learn it, it helps you to really get to know local people and understand them, also the culture, people here would be really happy if you try to speak the language, you may survive by using English but that will limit you and sort of making living in China a bit pointless. 4) You don't have access CZcams/Twitter/FB/Google by default, but you'll find a workaround soon :)
Overall I think Chinese people are pretty welcoming, It's definitely worth a visit. Many foreigners landed in China in the big cities I mentioned above and explore the rest of China from there. I know I'm missing many good/bad things about China, but feel free to ask if you want to know more.
@@eclipselu Nice. As a Taiwanese, I totally agree with you. I've been to Shanghai for two weeks in high school. China is neither heaven nor hell as often depicted by two sides. Living in a big city is great(quality of life, cultural diversity, convenience to travel, great food) as long as you have a stable economy.
@@annannz9047 I'm from Taiwan too. Compared to Taiwan, China is heaven.

Thank you for showing this! Here in the US, we have to build High-speed, at least in the most dense areas, if we want to compete with China in the future. Otherwise, we will miss the train. Creating competition with short flights will be very important by now. All the northeast should have a true, effective high-speed service. We need to catch up.

Do they have a special ticket like Eurail pass for traveling in China ?
unfortunately not, you have to buy ticket every individual trip. But the purchasing progress is quite simple and convenient. Welcome to China to give it a try.
Prices for business class are stupidly expensive compared to 2nd class and makes no sense (IMO) if your travel time is less than half a day. Most people who use it in China, write it off as a business expense.
You learn something everyday
More than 10 years ago before they started to build their own highspeed trains, it was not uncommon to see the japanese shinkansen and german ICE trains in their stations.
Yes, they did make technology transfer agreements. But most if not all Chinese HSR trains nowadays are domestically developed from China itself.
Were the prices in RMB or USD? $275RMB for Beijing to Shanghai is actually quite cheap
Travelling out of holidays is a good choice, so you won't meet those people crowds like that in Chongqing. Each province has its characteristics. Have a nice travel.

Mainly oil and automotive interest, private highway.
They wont change it until they can't steal oil from weak country or just pay with paper dollar.
I even not mention individualism society and risk or gun violence.
@passportvisionz Correct. The USA has no high speed train services.
Railroads are not a money-making business, so those capitalists are not going to upgrade it, so the railroads in the United States are still very, very old
Nope, only the old Train tracks still used today and built by the Chinese Railroad Workers built from 1850's in USA.
我从没买过1st class的票，因为我觉着不值那个票价，二等座也不差，票价便宜很多
Of course its cheaper from Chong Qing to Xi'an compared to Beijing/Shanghai due to the distance. The travelling time says its all.
"garlic-flavored peas" is the the best food for the train for sure
4:40
You can even order a Mcdonalds in your phone，they will deliver at next station.
Why on earth would you go to China & order US style junk food???
Surprised me, the Brother knows how to use chopsticks!

Of course rmb
My only question is how much luggage can you can carry on to such high-speed trains. Most such videos don't show luggage storage on the train. Unfortunately that's what I care the most as compared to air travel
10 kg for children, 20kg for adult. anything more than that, you can check it in.
No limits for luggage you can carry on the train, as far as you can carry them.
The great thing about China is that it can surprise everyone with its infrastructure progress and economic growth.
Welcome to Xi'an, the city full of Chinese history, culture, and food.
The difference between the older C and newer G trains is the speed 200km/hr vs 350km/hr !
车型也完全不同的，虽然外表类似。
@@user-po9et8lb5r Yes, the reason they put the slower trains for the overnight runs is that if the trip start at midnight they will arrive around 7:30-8:00am in the morning. If they used the faster trains it would not make any sense because they would arrive 3:30-4:00am in the morning and nothing will be opened for the passengers once they arrive at their destination.
my only bad comment is why show prices in US dollar when China is Yuan?
You're going to Xi'an I'm guessing, enjoy Sly! I'm jealous, seriously can't wait for my trip to China next year
Me too, I want to try all delicious food in muslim street!

Don't you hate it when 3rd World countries struggle with their state-of-the-art modern high-speed railways whilst the Land of the Free has world-class Auto jams.
9:33 bro's chapstick skills are not bad at all 😅
the fast train from beijing to shanghai is 4.5 hours
4:00 Bromance Pineapple Pastry 😂 Is that a mistranslation or is it really called that?
You've been in China for quite some time do you think China is the best place you visit so far
Oh man this is the way to travel. better than any US domestic airline and CLEAN.
Curious what is wrong with shaving cream for subway?
Explosive or compressed gas?
