The most beautiful scenery in China is its friendly people. "Perhaps China is the only country in the world that can write the vision of 'Long Live the Great Unity of the People of the World' on a landmark building.

中国的高铁350km-400km/h。在2015年是400km/h,后来降速了。2025年升级为400km。日本的新干线最快320km/h。中国的高铁可以放一枚硬币在桌子上，日本的新干线站着都会感到摇晃，并且发出火车的声音！而中国高铁几乎没有声音。

[@style4807]

确实网上有测试片段，也有两辆车430的速度互相交汇，理论上国内高铁是可以提到430的速度的，不提的原因也很简单，不符合经济成本。 300-350就是一个在速度和经济上各方面都合适的速度，超过350之后，每提升10公里的速度，能源消耗可能提升20%，非常不划算。 也只有东部繁忙线路是350，西部大部分还是300.

[@ChristopherZENG]

您说的是刚建成的线路，实际上不少运营5-10年的线路已经做不到立硬币了

[@planplay5921]

夸张了，日本的完全可以做到，我坐过

[@golinathreaganil1711]

其实基本差不多，中国高铁一开始学的国外技术，多年来国内外技术迭代速度差不了多少，实力也一样，摇晃的基本都是年代较老的车型，比如北京地铁不同线路车年代不一样，有的摇晃有的平稳

[@BeBi-p8o]

Generally speaking, for the water dispensers on China's high-speed railways, the blue water outlet is usually warm water and the red water outlet is usually boiling water.

[@jplin888]

That’s true. The folding tray on the train needs to clean each time the train reach its final destination. I experienced that too. The tray was sticky maybe due to some sugary food or drinks. Actually there is cold water as well as hot water. The blue button should be the cold one and red the hot one.

[@湖心依然]

不是的，高铁车厢里只有热水。为了安全防止误触，每次取热水要先按红色的按钮解锁，再按绿色的按钮才会出热水。而且中国人没有喝冷水的习惯：）

[@lalalalalareina]

Some great tips: if you want to check on the highspeed train if the seat is booked or not, for some models of the highspeed train, there are some lights becide the seat number on the luggage rack above the seats. If it is red means this seat is booked and someone should seat there now (of course if nobody there, he/she maybe missed the train or left temporaly), if it is orange (or yellow i forget), it should be someone booked that seat but will get on the train at the next stop. if it is green means nobody booked that seat, or someone booked but will not be get on before the next two stops.

I’m Chinese and I’ve travelled to china many times and it’s very beautiful country and there’s a lot of great cities, the high speed rail is very interesting, and it’s pretty fast, but you have to be careful cause it’s easy to book the wrong train. Like you said, the catering on these trains is good especially the snack boxes. The line you were on was a slower speed line, If you go from Beijing to Shanghai you hit speeds of 350 km/h , like you said, you have to scan your passport for everything.

[@bobol326]

it is unfair to compare this train G1831 with the Japanese train on cleanliness. This G1831 train started from the east border of China and had run for 7 hours, passed through 15 stations before you guys jumped in, obviously many passengers got in and out before you， Since the cleaning job can't be carried out during running, it is understandable that the carriages can't be as clean as they were when the train just started out. Japan never have such a long distance train, makes it much easier to keep it clean.

Most of them go to the Great Wall, generally to the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing, which is the developed Great Wall, relatively safe but you need tickets. By the way, it's a pity that you missed the terracotta Warriors in Xi 'an! Xi 'an also has a lot of good food. Of course, I admire your courage. Come on, welcome to China.
