Let's go to Beijing, China's capital. I will start the journey in Guangzhou in southern China and I decided to take the Chinese High-Speed train all the way to northern China. This journey is the world's longest high-speed train ride. It's incredible how well all parts of China are connected with the high-speed train. But will the journey from Guangzhou to Beijing be comfortable and stress free? This is my first time taking a high-speed train in China. Let's find out how it is!

Nice. I have taken trains in China including this particular route a few years back. Chinese HS trains are the best in the world hands down and it's absolutely mind-boggling how it was even possible to build the whole thing and scale it to the size of the country that China is.

Not a strict comparison, but 2298 km in 7h37min from Guangzhou South to Beijing West, while the fastest ICE from München Hbf via Berlin to Hamburg Hbf still needs about 6h to cover a distance of 612km, and the second class ticket costs 70-130 Euros depending on the departure time and the speed of the train in 1 day advance. The similar distance in China from Zhengzhou to Beijing (about 693km) takes only 2.5-3 hours (fastest service 2h11min) and a second class ticket with seat reservation costs 40-45 Euros.
night and day 😂
If you prefer to save a bit of budget, let‘s compare the service from Zhengzhou to Beijing with average travel speed around 100-120km/h, similar with ICE München-Hamburg. The D-Train operated by CR200J and the conventional Z-Train, take 6-6.5 hours from Zhengzhou to Beijing, travel on conventional rails with maximum speed of 160km/h, cost less than 20 Euros of a second class with reservation (CR200J D-Trains), or even 20-25 Euros with a cheapest sleeper on Z-Trains.
That’s pretty impressive. In the USA, Chicago to San Francisco is a 52 hour trip by Amtrak train. A trip of 8 hours means you don’t need to sleep on the train as well.
and If you only buy ice tickets one night in advance and don't have a bahncard, the price is likely to exceed 200 euros.
最重要的是，ICE的晚点延误和罢工体验~😂
You can actually order take out food from your phone and deliver to your seat on the train.
USA looks like a developing country when you see this modern infrastructure in China
😂
"developing" implies they are at least going forward, but unfortunately I don't think that's the case either

Yes, I mentioned to a coworker here in the U.S. that it's normal for countries to build, e.g., new train lines, new electricity infrastructure, new buildings for housing, and he was surprised. People here are so used to nothing changing, I think we just give up and lose all perspective.
Yes it's terrible; don't try to come here. Pass the word along.
Mind-Blown! What an epic journey! Your detailed insights made it feel like I was right there with you. Kudos on navigating the train stations and sharing the unique train experience. Excited for your Beijing adventures! Safe travels!

Ken，其实你在高铁上可以在一个叫12306的网站（也就是中国铁路的官方网站）点外卖。当你到达一个提供外卖的车站时，那里的工作人员会把食物送到你的位置上，真的非常方便。
Being is so cold now. I'd stay in southern China, foe example, Yunnan, Guangxi, Hainan, nice and warm, and lots of beautiful places to see.
The price of the train ticket is actually the same no matter when you bought the ticket. It's a fixed price decided by the train department to make sure that most people can afford it.

Hi Ken, glad to know you still traveling in China. Sharing awesome vlogs about your experiences over there.
I'm very keen to know how to travel such a long journey by land transportation in China. And now you share it. Thanks a lot. It's very useful information, at least for myself.
Looking forward your other vlog(s) from Beijing.
Stay safe and healthy.

I traveled from Hong Kong to Beijing by train in 1981 and it was a polar opposite experience. It took a total of 48 hours without AC, shower and a toilet hole where all the human waste went straight down to the track (gross - I know!). By the time I arrived my face was dark because of all the coal and dust from the open windows. Enjoy Beijing. You will have a blast!
Welp it was 43 years ago 🤷🏻 The train op was on happens to be from Hong Kong to Beijing (G80) and the entire journey takes about 10 hrs
I didn't take that particular train, but I do remember the toilet hole!
Hahahaha so you can really tell the difference of China within 40 years

actually , you can choose a window seat when you book tickets on the app. The journey is quite far from guangzhou to Beijing, if the distance longer than 6 hours , it is more comfortable to take plane than high speed train.

This is incredibly helpful! I’m sat in a Chinese railway station waiting to board and I quickly tried to find a video that would show me where I store my luggage once I’m on board. Your video was the first one to come up!

In any moving vehicle when you read for a while, you can get a little dizzy. It is best to close your eyes and take a short nap. And don’t look out of the moving train window for long time. Motion sickness.
very useful information !

Thank you so much for sharing! I haven’t got a chance in trying it, though I have been traveling to China many times in the past 10 years.
They are going to celebrate Chinese New Year next week. Hope you won't get stuck with the crowd.
Good thing about China is you can leave your suite case in the front and no one will steal it, the crime rate is so low because of the homogeneous society. Also I believe the reason you feel nauseous and sick is because you have motion sickness, you should go to a pharmacy next time and buy some medication with Meclozine in it which treats travel sickness.
He just couldn't handle the 350KM/H speed for haven't experienced it before I guess, next time he should be fine.
@cheungchingtong Even though the train is very stable, there is some slight shaking. If you're viewing something like text on your phone that needs focus. Can cause dizziness.
I have severe motion sickness problem but i’m usually ok if i dont try to read or look at my phone in the car. When i go back to china (havent been for long time), im curious to see how i will feel on the high speed trains
不错的小伙子，下次买靠窗的位置，A或者F
High-speed train ticket prices do not vary based on booking time, but airfare does.
Yeah, i was in China back in 2018,people are very friendly for sure,you should visit rural places also, i was in Hainan, way different than big cities.
Great sharing. Loved it. Thank you Ken. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
You also have Beijing-HK direct train. That would be the longest one. Beijing to Lhasa train is also very interesting journey to take.
The price of the train tickets are fixed,it won’t be cheaper if you book it earlier. The price of flight tickets might changed depends on the time you purchase.Some people who are afraid of height they will choose train rather than flights.and also the train always goes on time and you don’t have to arrive to the train station earlier as long as the airport. Even the price are similar ,but the time you spend on train or plane plus the time you heading to the station is similar.and also sometimes the train station is closer to city cbd but the airport is not. So lots of people will choose go by train.
Hello Ken, I did travel a lot by train in Germany and France before I moved to Ireland in 2014. There are tracks in Germany where the trains do run above 300 km/h and in France 330 km/h is often reached. I just read in the news that the German Railway system is in decline quality wise, so it was good to see the Chinese version for comparison. It seems more regulated than in Germany where you often had "Das Leben in vollen Zügen geniesen" especially to and from Frankfurt Airport terminal.
广州到北京，下次可以試一下動臥，晚上出發，睡一覺就到北京了，我覺得也是不錯的體驗。

Additional comments: There are 600+ cities in China. Most of them are fantastic. People are friendly! However I really recommend that you can travel to Yun Nan province, Sichuan province, Xing Jiang province and Tibet province. You would be excited if can see the huge snow mountains , big rivers, valley, lakes and great desert as always. ❤ Cities are not only made of China but also the real nature. Fantastic nature:) 🎉🎉🎉

The Chinese people will just argue with you but will not call the police and put you into jail. It's because you're just a tourist, not a politician. Feel free to come to China and you will see you can discuss everything with Chinese people include political issue.
@@zackk7175 First of all, Japan, including the United Nations, recognizes Taiwan as a part of China. How can the so-called president be legal? Secondly, you Japanese have done too much to hurt the Chinese people.

Then, China has not banned wearing kimonos. There are many people on the Chinese video website Bilibili who like Japanese two-dimensional culture and kimonos. Finally, the kimono was originally learned from the Tang Dynasty of China by the envoys you sent to the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that it was copied.
