Explain: In China, Class D and G trains are all high-speed trains. But class D running at speed of 200-250 km/h. The G-class train running at speeds of 300-350 km/h.

[@RobandJenny]

[@romio9734]

D train 250 km/hr

[@MrJormin]

d和g都是动车好吧。 动车 是车， 高铁是铁路。 只是一般情况下，大家为了区分速度上的区别，所以把200－250的叫做动车，300以上的叫高铁。 实际上，两种都是动车组。 下次你坐g字头可以听一下广播，看下人是说欢迎乘坐动车组列车 还是 高铁列车。

[@MrJormin]

His comment is misleading. D trains and G trains are both categorized as high speed railway trains. The difference is the d trains' speed is limited to 250km/h max while the g trains can reach up to 380km/h

My wife and I begin a 19 day journey to China in five days. We start in Beijing. The first two days we'll be on our own before joining our tour. Besides the usual Beijing attractions, we'll fly to Xi'an for four days before taking the high speed train to Chengdu where we will spend two nights before flying to Lhasa, Tibet where we will spend three nights before flying to Chonqing for a three night cruise on the Yangtze River. We then fly to Shanghai where we will spend the last two nights before the long journey home to Orlando, FL. The two of us are actually looking forward to the high speed train because it will give us a chance to at least view a good bit of the countryside. When I think of China with 1.3 billion people I often wonder how crowded it must be, but as so many videos attest; there remains quite a bit of space for agriculture and so forth. Thank you both for taking the time to make this video!

The G series high-speed train can only run on the high-speed track for the safety reason, to avoid the small stones hit the train during high-speed running, it's 300-350km/h speed. Both of these 2 series trains the windows are installed the decelerating glass.

[@bozhoujin5925]

Although I have traveled to Shanghai so many times with the high speed railway, I just realized that I haven’t viewed the Hongqiao Station from ground level for a single time. The subway system in Shanghai is so convenient that you don’t even need to get outside of the station to travel around (unless you are really early in the morning I guess). There is actually an Hongqiao Airport just next to the railway station, one that is much smaller and older than the Pudong Airport on the east coast of Shanghai. So you are not completely wrong to say that the station looks like an airport. As for passport check, it is pretty much because it is harder to have a unified system to scan all passports from different countries. If you are a Chinese citizen, you will have a second generation citizen ID card and you can scan it through the main entrance. Your ticket is also associated with you specifically (to prevent people from buying duplicated tickets and re-selling them for higher prices), so the information is actually recorded in your ID. You can simply scan your ID to board the train without even the need to print the ticket out. For the broadcast it is just saying welcome and nominating the sponsors of the train. It also gives a little more detailed explanation of the smoke detectors on this smoke-free train and the consequences of triggering or damaging it (the train will come into an emergent stop and you might have legal responsibilities for it).

Nice video. Brought back memories of the many trips I have taken on all sorts of different trains in China.

It's not just the speed of the train but also the number of stops that determines the duration.

Nice job! Hope you enjoy the rest of journey in China! And allow me to give some suggestion about the itinerary if someone want to explore China from Shanghai all the way to the Western China Chengdu :) Shanghai → Kunming (8 hours by bullet train), then spend 5～7 days experience the most beautiful landscape in China which is Dali → Lijiang → Tiger leaping gorge → Shangli-ra, if you like hiking maybe it's better go further to the Meili snow mountain and have a nice hiking to Yubeng village and Camp one, after these you can take a bullet train from Kunming to Chengdu like 5 hours, I think it's better than take a 14 hours directly train from Shanghai to Chengdu, more relax and more amazing views:)

Next time if you need to travel long-distance, consider the G train instead of the D train. D stands for "Dong Che" which stops more and meant for inter-city commute.

Hong Kong is also a city in China that attracted a lot of tourists in the past, but there have been too many violent protests in Hong Kong recently. Tourists are not recommended to stay in Hong Kong. I personally recommend transiting through Hong Kong to Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Guangzhou (cities in Guangdong province) and Shanghai. There is a high-speed railway. Tourists can travel from Hong Kong International Airport to Kowloon Station by Airport Express (this is a fast train but not the high-speed railway the media refers to), and then walk along a covered footbridge with good signage to the Hong Kong West Kowloon Station, which is the high-speed railway station. There are always sufficient seats on high-speed railway trains, so there is no need to reserve in advance.

The Chinese broadcast in the train, for the smoke-free train one, is not a secret .. the reason why they talk too much in chinese is because there are many Chinese passengers still smoking in the train. It’s not allowed because the detectors in the train are very sensitive. once detected , the whole train will have an emergency braking, which negatively impacts on other passengers and the railway control system. many people have been arrested by police because of it. even people know that, they still do that... they need to explain it specifically in chinese.

Thank you for the lovely video showing the beautiful sceneries and landscapes. 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏you both are lovely couples. I thought the high speed train won't take that long from Shanghai to Chengdu.

[@peterxiao4852]

just for your curiosity, the radio at 6:35 is just a safety announcement talking about no smoking, emergency exit, blabla and the hot water thing, Chinese people believe drinking hot water is good for stomach and digestion.

[@peterxiao4852]

more detailed translation: welcome to the train runed by Chengdu xxx company, smoke detecter is everywhere so don't smoke and what what in the situation of the emergency stop(been edited out).

[@RobandJenny]

Thanks for the details! 😃🧐😃

[@desperadoshao9733]

little tips: Shanghai to Chengdu is 2000km

[@Templemain]

Shanghai to Chengdu is 1,960Klms. but there are a lot of stops along the way.

[@RobandJenny]

It is a long way! But pretty easy! 😀

[@austinfu2102]

So the PA System was saying something like "Welcome on board CHR run by Chines Railways Cooperation Si Chuan subdivision. This is a smoke-free service. There are somke detectors on this train and in the lavatories. Individuals who are caught smoking on this train, their personal and biometric information will be documented. They will be handed over to the police department and may face a prosecution for disturbing public order. They will also be forbidden from taking any CHR/CR Services in the following 180 days. Thank you for your cooperation." So, yeah we are getting much more information.😂

[@kkx7790]

if I am correct, most Chinese travel my highspeed rather than taking flights because it is cheaper, more comfortable and dont have to worry about flight delay...

[@RobandJenny]

Exactly! It is such a good way to travel! We loved it!

[@christopherchen6170]

We dont consider D class train bullet trains in China. its quite slow 200 250 km/h

[@RobandJenny]

oh haha! It seemed pretty fast to us! 😂

Oh ya? Try the train in USA and you will know what is slow.

[@christopherchen6170]

@@Kelberi oh we still have some very slow trains in china as well. but its alot cheaper than what amtrak charges

[@christopherchen6170]

@@Kelberi america's controlled by the rich, by corp america thats why america wouldnt get fast trains that actually serve a purpose. sf to la; houston to dallas; northeast ocrridor. these the quality of life for the small town in between those big cities would vastly improve. but big auto and boeing against it sad

[@angelayinn]

Your video makes me homesick! It’s hard to travel back due to the covid situation with 2 kids and our kids are missing everything in China too!

[@infoveller5170]

Amazing video~! from korea

[@graceblzhu1598]

As others have explained that the train is not bullet train but only a high speed train which means 2/3 of bullet train's speed, usually because the conditions of the landscape is too hard to maintain the bullet trains for it's too mountainous, atitudes changes very frequently, like the train China built for Laos.

A great start to an exciting place! May be the next big thing will be children's only carriages. :D

[@DavidChen2010]

passengers on china high speed train can alternatively order food made in restaurant on next station via cellphone, when the train arrive in next station, the ordered food will be delivered to you.

[@RobandJenny]

Its such a good system! :)

[@jamesl9371]

14 hours! I would take a sleeper train or fly. I have taken many sleeper trains in China and I like it

[@sydneydorono9177]

Why does it took 14 hours? I went from kunming to xuzhou and it just took 12 hours. But pretty almost the same price as the plane ticket.

[@RobandJenny]

Just a long way. Plane was about 30% more expensive.

[@lukeeec2890]

Wow China is amazing.

[@fengshi4284]

I can relate to your confusion about the bread taste. It's always sweet in China because Chinese eat it as a snack.

[@RobandJenny]

Ah interesting!

[@a9udn9u]

14 hours from Shanghai to Chengdu? I'm pretty sure it's Dong Che, D trains. The nicer ones are G trains.

[@liguobu229]

Try Vancouver- Seattle on a «fast, non-stop » train, and all other trains in the world will seem really fast trains to you.

[@wisetour4ever]

Actually you can walk from hongqiao airport to hongqiao railway station. Very close

[@RobandJenny]

Yeah he heard about this. But that train station feels like a massive international airport in its own right! 😃

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

We'd love to do this! Look forward to seeing more videos 👍😁

[@RobandJenny]

Thank you!

[@吃瓜群众-k7m]

Some restaurants deliver food to the bullet train. They race the train and deliver the food when you make the stop. haha.

[@RobandJenny]

Amazing!
