I Didn't Think High-Speed Trains in China were Like This | Beijing to Shanghai 

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

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? :)

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.

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

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.

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.

​@eddiehughes2888trains are more scenic though

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.

Though trains in Guangdong are more expensive per km and slower thanks to 抢铁

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 RU-vid/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.

Yes, they did make technology transfer agreements. But most if not all Chinese HSR trains nowadays are domestically developed from China itself.

very busy if in american standard.

all the time not just weekends

There's the Acela on the Northest Corridor (Boston to Richmond VA), Brightline in Florida, and a few long distance Amtrak trains which are often subject to delays of six hours or more. Compared to trains in mainland Europe, Japan and China, the USA is in the Stone Age.

It will hurt campaign contributor. 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.
