- In this video, we take the first-class bullet train in China, from Nanjing to Beijing. This is the first time we have traveled first class so we thought we would make a video to compare it to second class and see if it was worth the money.

I never get bored watching fun videos about China’s high-speed trains.
Your business class experience will happen one day! :D
Thanks! I hope so. I never get bored taking them either, love to travel by train here.
@@Nicofilms You can enjoy a business class if you take a short journey, such as Shanghai-Suzhou and Guangzhou-Shenzhen. In my memory, it takes no more than CNY100.
@@yjsong29 Thanks for the tip!
Great

I love you China. You deserve to be the most powerful country in the world. I've been there 3 years ago, honestly China got catch me up a lot. Congratulations for your successes.
Wtf

I took a lot of fast bullet train in china, they are really very good
They are great I love them!
Great
Bullet trains are as fast as planes while nearly never delayed because of weather, and stations are near downtown which can save so much time, and the most important is China accounts for two-thirds of the world's total high-speed railway networks so people can go to any city through this way.
I can’t explain how much I love Chinese high speed trains 😍 it’s so relaxing quiet and I love the food in the stations
Me too! They are such a nice way of travelling!
In business class you would wish the journey last a little bit longer as it is toooooo comfortable to leave the cozy seat, haha.
Ahhh I bet! They look so nice!
expensive business class
True
How much more is business class than second class? Just curious. Thanks.
@@darkphasex Roughly 3-fold high as that of second class.
I used to travel from London to Edinburgh by train, since then I love travelling by train. thanks for your speed train sharing.
Oh yes I used to get that train home (I'm from Newcastle). I just find it a much more relaxing way to travel.
@@Nicofilms I had travelled many places across UK, it was 15yrs ago when I was student, UK is lovely places, I will try next China.
Nice
I don't think the first class is way better than the second class, but if you get the chance you have to try the business class, which is amazing, you can literally fully lie down and take a nap
I agree! Yes business class look SO amazing!
The railway station looks better and sophisticated than many country's airport!! Really amazing!
suggestion: buy a short distance business class ticket, it won't cost too much
Oooh good idea I might have to do that! 🤭
@@Nicofilms And have your friends check for you if there are such rules that you can't film. I think that attendant was just making it up. Or it was just that carriage, or it was just that service, or it was just that region. I don't think there is such an across-the-board rule that you can't film on the train.
@@maxyang7919 The filmer might influence other passengers. I believe they have the rule.And don’t say something irresponsible that you don’t know.
@@yuqiwang6111 I said "I think". I can think whatever I want to think and say whatever I think as long as it does not offend other people. You on the other end, should stop commenting on me. Because you don't know me but you called me "irresponsible" anyway. Don't say something irresponsible when you don't know it.
To spell it out for you: I did not pretend to know. I suggested Nico get help from friends (implying those who can read Chinese) to confirm if there is such a rule. Then I presented my understanding. Tell me how that's irresponsible for you? Or not. Forget it. I don't want to hear it.
Also, it's not "influence". You can call it "disturb", "affect", or even "annoy" or "harass", but you can't call it "influence" because that's a terribly wrong use of the word.
that is what i used to do.
Thanks for making such a beautiful content
Thank you for watching!
first class, second class or business class, it's just best because you will never find so cheap so high quality in the world.
Wow.. your videos are awesome...
Lots of Love from Indian to you and to all sweet hearted Chinese people 😊😊💗
You did great showing the trains facilities, never got the chance to go on a bullet train in China, will love to experience it one day
Thanks a lot! Oh no that is such a shame as they are a really nice way to travel around the country!
I am Chinese and there is no rule against taking video on the train. If someone doesn't want to be on camera, they do have the right to delete the scene, but most people don't care.
Verdict: You can continue filming the video, and the staff has no authority to stop you from doing so, as long as you don't film him.
I think maybe cos of privacy In 1st class n business class policy..
These videos looks so damn pro. Keep up the good work. Soon you’ll be reaching 100k subs.
There's not much difference between first and second class, you should try business class, that's the one worth the price though.
Thanks for the video, very interesting to see! 🙂
We don't live forever, giv it a go on the business class at least once, release that urge lol..
Ahhh don't tempt me, maybe one day 🤭
@@Nicofilms Time w8 for no one hope to see you both sitting on the pod the next time you travel
✌️.
@@tailslapexplore6887 haha true! I'm not sure we can afford it though.
Lol
Good one
love the way you shot the B-rolls.
Love the bullet trains here much prefer it over flying around the country now.
Me too they are the best way to travel here!
@小志神枪手 sb
@@Nicofilms 哈哈欢迎欢迎
Nice
Yeah, but long travel like Beijing to Shanghai, better to fly.
your movie makes China more geniune, and more beautiful as well. thank you!
Thanks for watching I'm pleased you like it!
@@Nicofilms the pleasure is all mine!
Actually, you can film anytime when you take trains in China. That waitress may mean that you can not film her other than filling the train.
Just discovered this channel and I am addicted. Feels like I am in China.
Aw thank you that is so kind! Welcome!
A feature of first was the meal service on the Shenzhen to Shanghai train. On that train, there were lots more families in second so first was calmer. The other observation is that the trains are more for the domestic market as evidenced by the food selection.
Yes I can imagine that was the case.
Nice video Nico
Thanks a lot Alex!
Excellent one and enjoyed this vlog.
Beijing to Tanjian.
So fast and straight.
Then take a lovely walk along the rive in Tianjin
This is a very well edited video.
Have you thought of maybe going on a trip with other UA-camrs? I know you and Yvonne from the Netherlands know each other, maybe go on a trip together, like a sisterhood. Those guys Matt Jayoe, Lee & Oli, Gweilo 60 and Mexicanos en China been on small trips and I have found they got other fresh new ideas right after the trip! China is a BIG country, you will discover new destinations! 😉😉
Thanks for the idea. Honestly though me and Jack barely get much time off from work anyway so our travels are always pretty packed and intense as we like to travel independently. I don't think we would be able to produce much content or be very efficient if we went in a group but you never know.
Marvelous , Welcome back to the Middle Kingdom Status..China . Most of us Asians have a deep roots way back in China.
thank so much be safe be happy from paris
Thanks for watching, you too!
They have the best trains! I wish the USA had a train system like China.
In fact, even though there are so many people taking trains in China, the Chinese train system still requires money from the Chinese government every year. But the Chinese government thinks it's worth it because the train system will connect all the cities and boost the economy. A country as large and sparsely populated as the US will lose more money if it pushes for high-speed rail. America's well-developed network of roads and flights will also make it harder for high-speed rail to become widespread.
Always love traveling in bullet trains...
They are great!
very informative video, thanks Nico
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
There’s a “business class” which is actually more expensive and spacial than the first class
I tried Eurostar in Italy in 2010 with high expectation. but quite disappointed even we didn't have bullet train at that time
I love watching Train videos.
Where is the best place you've traveled to by train?
When a girl is both cool and cute that’s Nico 💗
Aww thank you that is so kind! ☺
Hi I am a new subscriber, and hoping to go to Shanghai soon for my studies, I am absolutely in love with your channel!
Hi, welcome to my channel and thanks for the subscribe. I'm so happy you like my content and I hope you find it helpful.
Love all your videos
Thanks a lot for watching them all!
Haahaaa, are you sure that's what the train attendant said, "no filming"? I have seen so many videos of the CRH bullet trains, including Lee and Oli Barrett's, maybe she was saying "let's be quiet"
Haha I know me too and we've filmed on many trains before. But no we tried to film again and she made us stop unfortunately.
A Good vlog. Thanks from SHA.
You should try business class, it is basically and a room and a servant for every 4 seats.
It looks very fancy. Not sure I can afford it but would love to try!
Nice to see your bulet train, but here in India still living in 70s
love the trains in China.
Slow train is nice if you travel in nonpeak season and you want enjoy more to train time. especially with a group of family or friends and not rushing for time. You can stop and visit some very small town and explore something new.
High speed train is awesome and amazing, fast, clean, confirmable. really much better than airplane economic class. 2nd class is already good enough for most of people. For first class, I may choose if it is peak season and journey is more than 5 hours, I can have a better snap there. more crowded in 2nd class or no tickets for 2nd class. I absolutely agree 1st class is not 2 times better. 2nd class is already very good!
Thanks for your comment. I agree with this, I think the slow train would definitely be fun if you were a group and had some time but the fast trains are just so convenient!
Great video🙏🙏
China: Bullet Train?
Me: Yes
Welcome to China!
Good video, thanks
Glad you liked it!
最棒的剪辑！
Thanks!
I think that attendant didn't like being filmed, then she was picking on you.
Yeah maybe, it's a shame but not all videos go to plan I guess haha
love your video from China😉
Thanks! 😃
Massage chair is lovely. How much do we had to pay?
Great video
I been on many trains but never 1st class
Japan have similar on Shinkensen
just like most major airlines, the different crew have different moods to vlogging, there is no standard policy so you were out of luck with a bad mood conductor. I m 5.6 and very comfortable in standard class from bJ to shanghai.
I agree I think it was just bad luck. I'm not much taller and I think it is fine too. Super comfortable!
You should try the business class, you can lie down in there
First class gets you there sooner because it travels faster. 😉
很好的视频，建议加中文字幕会有更多中国朋友认识你！
可以去看下国内的b站，Nico在那里也有注册账号，而且所有视频都有中文字幕。
Wow, they asked you to stop filming. I was asked to stop taking photographs inside a supermarket here in the USA, at one in Indonesia, one in Israel and one in Watford.
We don't get asked often but occasionally we do. It was a shame but we managed to get some shots before it happened.
@@Nicofilms Luckily it was still a great video! Thanks for producing such enjoyable and informative content!
@@scottmarcus6443 Thanks a lot!
Some people on board would not wish to be filmed especially if they were traveling with their sweethearts who are not their spouses. lol
And here I thought you guys were taking a few days off haha
Hahaha we did! We just worked twice as hard before the weekend so we could schedule our videos so we could take some time off.
Recommend you to try the business class, I really love it
I really want too! Hopefully I can afford it someday haha
@@Nicofilms you can try the Beijing-Tianjin short way, not expensive for just 200km.
I encourage u to next time go to japan and ride in the bullet train in first class its way better
Whichever class travel by bullet train it beats the hassle of flying by plane - to be in airport 2-3 hrs before flight, the airport is far from city, check in luggage and all the security checks so troublesome and on arrival go through same process . Taking into account all these factors the time travel between 2 cities in China is not very much and is cheaper by train.
I totally agree! I much prefer it and feel more calmer going by train.
Did they say why filming is not allowed anymore? What about photography?
I think it was just the train steward that we had. I think she thought we were journalists, but actually just excited to be riding first class.
I think it is because the 2nd class is too good to be, making it not so worthy for the 1st class. I've never taken the 1st class myself, but would definitely give it a try after watching you video. BTW, really glad you like the bullet train here in China and make a video of it. Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot. I'm not sure if it is worth it. Like you say the 2nd class is so good and I don't think the first is that much better but a lot more expensive.
1st class is similar to business class on air plane, and business class is similar to 1st class on airplane. For a journey is over 3 hours, business class is better, otherwise 2nd class is comfortable too.
Outside of the window view looked pretty sitting in the train rather than sitting in the plane.
I much prefer taking the train it is so much more relaxing!
The QR code is the first class thing. But there are other ways to get the app you used when you are in the second class. They used to have a small android pad on each seat for entertainment (no internet), but I guess no one wants to use it nowadays.
As a Chinese who traveled a lot several years ago, I would say the only reason you should buy a first class ticket is you find that the second class sell out, and you really need to get on that train.
However, the business class is different story though. Still not worth the price, but they will let you board earlier. :D
Yeah I agree I wouldn't do it again but we couldn't afford the flight haha The business class looks another level though!
Look at those food
it's so sad that the UK started the industrial revolution, and it was the country that invented the modern day high speed rail. the LNER Class A4 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_A4_4468_Mallard was the first train to reach over 200KM/H in 1938, considering the technology back then, it was a marvelous achievement, since the train was a steam engine. it's sad that the UK didn't continue this great tradition of building fast trains, and right now everything from stupid buses, tubes and driving on the motorway is slow.
So business class is the top tier for trains? Different than planes then, where it's First Class > Business > Economy
More like a translation error, premium > tier 1 >tier 2, I guess
Yes business class is the best on trains here.
you can try a short distance in business class like beijing to tianjin
I'm not sure there would be time to film or enjoy it as it only takes lie 30 minutes haha but it is a good idea to do a smaller cheaper journey!
挺好的说👍
Thanks!
to be honest, i prefer the second class if the voyage duration is less than 3 hours, 'cause there is not huge or significant differences between them. As for the one whose duration is more than 3hours, then obviously it is distant enough for me to considerate about the flight, which is faster, even my pre-check-in shall be earlies,
Eyes are so pretty!
Aww thanks!
What's do you feel any different between Fuxing Hao and Hexie Hao train?
wish you a happy life in china and hope you can stay
Thanks a lot!
How does the price compare to an equivalent airplane ticket?
It really depends on where you go and what time of year. In this case as it was a holiday so it was half the price of a plane ticket. I find the rail tickets don't really change price but you can usually find deals on air tickets.
@@Nicofilms Thanks for the reply! Safe travel!
可以拍摄，只要不打扰别人就行
Good job !!! 👏👏👏❤🌈
Thanks!
建议商务舱，那个是真的舒服
very very nice bullet train..🌿🏞️😅
Second class is good enough for me. If the trip is under 1 hour I probably would try 1st class or business class cuz the price won't be that high. 😁😁
I agree I like second class it is better value for the money!
Maybe the lady who stopped your filming was afraid you've filmed something "unfriendly". And I'm curious, is Chongqing series ended?
Maybe, who knows, we were happy to comply but it's a shame. No not finished, we just wanted to spread it out a bit so people didn't get bored and we have more time to edit.
@@Nicofilms Oh great, I remember the preview of next one would be a hotpot episode.
@@hangzeng1491 Yes! We have a podcast coming this week then hotpot next next week.
Wuxi to Nanjing - business class, ( no 2nd or 1st class available on the day).
Oh lovely how was business class?
@@Nicofilms awesome, the distance wasn't long enough.
Business Class is expensive than First Class? this is different concept with airline...
谢谢你，中国欢迎你
谢谢
I once rode first class because there was more room for my luggage.
No filming of train???
Weird rules...
But can create a fake pix of the train and post online?
I just don't think the stewardess wanted us to I have no idea why. Fake pics??
可以和您合作吗。
Good heads up re: booking
Pleased you found it helpful!
I want to mention that althou many staff of CR stop you filming , taking photos or videos are absolutely legal, they have no rights to stop you. You can argue with them
Nice
Thanks!
Have you been to the business class? They call it business class but it’s actually one above first class... I have a nice video tape of that if you haven’t been in it. 🙂
Not yet hopefully we will get a chance at some point!
👍
I only got $$$ for 3rd class seat🤭😁😂
Price doubled, service/comfort are not doubled, not worth it.
I agree!
Next time you can try the business class It is much bettter than frist class
Yes I really want too!
as you know, 1st class is much faster than 2nd class!!!
啊？
why can't u film on the train?
I'm not sure, the stewardess didn't want us to so we had to stop.
🎉🎉🎉🍁🍁🍁👍👌
