I traveled first class in high speed trains in Germany, China and Japan. Chinese trains are better than German trains and as good as Japanese trains; yet they are cheaper.
you are another western bot who knows so little about what goes on in china. the high ruses are empty and all for show. the apartments, in general, are rat and insect infested units asking 1500 dollars and up in shanghai. the ghost towns are enormous. the metro system is often good but often overcrowded. the train systems were stolen from japanese technology but they are good for simple transport. no amenities and no real luxury. the country thinks that this infrastructure helps with their gdp. their debt is now 268 percent of their gdp. twice the relative debt of the usa which is ridiculously high. the miracle was all a paper game. the hospitals have poorly trained medical staff who ask for gifts. the number of hospitals is very low because china cares little about the average person. the average salary in china is still about 800 dollars per month. you know very little about the real china. people like you should close your mouths before parroting such trash.
Chinese high speed railways started in 2004 with colloboration of foreign companies like siemens germany bombardier canada kawasaki japan and alstom france. Later china started developing their own trainsets based on the experience gained during this colloboration. Need to appreciate their effort to develop their own technology. They are also trying to make their own aviation jet engines..
16:13 These branches go to the yard shown in the clip before this timestamp instead of to Hangzhou, the real line to Hangzhou starts eastward of Nanjing South station and then turns south. 22:34 the further double tracked line does go to Lianyungang, but it was first constructed as the Xuzhou-Yancheng line and the Lianyungang-Xuzhou line splits away at the next station south of the filmed location. The closest single tracked line goes from Xuzhou East station into the yard on the south, and the further higher one goes to the old Longhai railway and heads westwards to Xuzhou Station. That line was used for running EMUs on the Zhengzhou-Xuzhou segment continuing westwards to Xi'an, because thr Zhengzhou-Xuzhou line was finished relatively late in 2016.
Basta guardare la bellezza delle città per capire quanto in 50 anni hanno fatto i cinesi per il loro paese e quanto lontani e migliori siano culturalmente dal paese delle sparatorie che domina l'occidente. Certo su tutti i governanti c'è sempre da dire qualcosa di male, anche per quelli cinesi, ma certamente hanno rubato molto meno del resto del mondo e pensato al benessere della loro popolazione.

I took a sleeper train for this exact trip and back in 2006, it took roughly 12 hours (7 PM departing Shanghai Hong Qiao to 7 AM in Beijing). I shared a 4-bed cabin with a woman and two young people (probably her kids), it was fine. And I did not lose any time, since most of the 12 hours were SLEEP I would do anyway.
The shortest time for Shanghai Hongqiao to Beijing South Station is the CR400 service number #G28, which only stops at Nanjing South on the way, with a duration of 4 hours and 18 minutes for the whole trip.
I remember China Rail's ticket change policy was that one free change per ticket / full refund so long the original train has not departed. There is a fee for any subsequent change. Once train for a ticket has departed, the ticket loses its value completely: no change / no refund. Shanghai -- Beijing line runs more frequent train services than public transit services in most western cities. That makes it easier to switch. However the shortest travel time trains are the most sought after and the first to sell out. I took a 4 hr 20 min train once and it only made 2 stops along 1,300 km journey.
Not quite true, only refund 8 days or more before the train departure can have free full refund, 8 days to 48 hours before with 5% fee, 48 to 24 before with 10% fee and within 24 hours a 20% fee. Also, even after the train departed, a not changed ticket (change including different train, different destination and start station, different seat class etc.) can change to later trains within the same calendar day (must change to a other direct train from the same start to the same destination).
Did you know that when booking business class they do have business lounge and a representative that will take you to your train seat so you can skip that whole process ? 😅 try it next time.
12:42 Podstakannik is Russian pod- - prefix, meaning under stakan - root, meaning a cup without handle -n - binding suffix. Many consonants in a base doubles in case of using suffixes. Including N, S, T and many other. -ik - suffix, meaning an associated property. (in this case in thing with handle to hold a cup without handle).
The comments below against the magnificent train system, especially the high-speed trains, are pure envy on the part of citizens of countries like the United States that have been shamefully left behind in new technology. The Ukrainian's comment about the smell of delicious Chinese food in the second-class carriage is a mean-spirited comment since my wife and I traveled in second class and the smell of food was magnificent. Nothing compared to the tasteless food in Ukraine.
@hermesliteratus882 Yes, anyone with a brain can tell it's pure envy. I'm from the US and actually very proud of China and the Chinese for these amazing accomplishments. 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
not reach 350km/h may because the distance between stations is relatively close, or timetables.I taked G96 before which from Zhengzhoudong to Beijingxi, not stop in hundreds of kilometers of lines, maintain 350 is easy
When they collect enough money by removing more than 750 overseas military bases, stop funding massive anti China propaganda channels like Serpentza, China Uncensored and China Unscripted and Laowai86, and stop funding massive pro Japan and anti China troll armies to spam every single video about China talking crap about China, and when they finish all the filibustering and party fightings and political talks.
What a great video! I love your video style. Some clips could be a little longer on my opinion, but that is just me not getting enough of it. Even though this train is 100% made in China, you can still see some influence of the Siemens Velaro... I am wondering, did the train in this video take another route than your original faster train? In this large high speed rail cluster there are many opportunities I think...
very disappointing that I cannot learn mandarin quickly but i admire chinese high speed rail and chinese culture. I understand, aside the rail videos, that it are harsh times, but after the storm comes the sun. I hope you're having a good day
Well Done! But sorry wrong station made me laugh. It's also a special experencel. Next time try get to the station at end of the day but your train has left at beginning of the day .
Everyone has a free same-day change opportunity, which is not a special treatment. If the ticket prices are different, more will be refunded or less will be paid.
Miss the Transiberian series and its epic overture - what's the title of that music? Hope one day you would cover the train journey Hanoi to HCM City (Saigon) which is full of history and beautiful nature.
@@doc7austin It's funny how Russia has become much more available financially due to lower ruble rate, yet at the same time a ticket to Russia would cost you a fortune these days. Oh the humanity...
Just like car can go faster than 100 mile/ph but highway speed limit may be 65. Train is the same, no train will run at maximum speed the train is capable of, obey the speed limit set for the track, different from one location to another.
There should be two types of trains. The one in the video is the CR400 series. I guess the trains used in Indonesia are improved models of China’s CRH380. The numbers behind represent the design speed of the train .But the result is the same, the maximum speed in used is 350 km per hour both in china and Indonesia.
You arrived at the wrong train station. Shanghai Hongqiao Station and Shanghai Station are obviously two stations. Also, your train will be called Zhanzhanle by railway fans in China.It means that it stops at almost every station and is a joyful train.Railways, like aviation, are rigorous. A city has different airports and train stations, and they need to be clearly distinguished. However, Chinese railways are generally kinder. You can return to the station for free after taking a ride, and they are also very friendly when changing your ticket.

yes, allthough the speed of 350 km/h was only reached for a very short period of time
@@doc7austin Yes, but it has only maintained at 350 km/h for a very short period of time, but seems like it travels like 300 km/h most of the time.

The standard of these trains is just so incomparable to the outdated rolling stock we have in the United Kingdom. I think that's a fair statement.
There is Eurostar which is comparable, but apart from that, UK trains are overpriced and old.
China made best high speed rail and trains ever.
yes, it does
As an American who loves trains, I'm so envious of the system China has. Need to check it out one day.

this train line is very very busy

Looks pretty similar to the Alstom high speed tranis in Europe 🤔. Love to see your little light even on a Chinese train ❤.
