I traveled to China 3-4 times every year and have taken numerous high speed trains. Going through security would not take more than a couple of minutes usually, never go more than 5 minutes even when at peak time.

[@forjw2google135]

yes, i have taken SZ/GZ train many times, same stations, in non commute hours, seconds to clear, in busy times,

[@yblmisc]

High security at the stations is good for the people. Here you don’t see peoples strapping their bags in front unlike in other countries. I would feel safe if I were a foreigner traveling in places like this.

You will get used to taking high speed bullet trains very fast. They are much more convenient than going through an airport, and there are usually one train every twenty minutes, so you don't have to be afraid of missing one.

I know. Been there. Nowhere else in the world has such an excessive monitoring system. China train system has all these security checks and passport requirements just for a train journey because the communist government uses them to monitor movement of people and prevent freedom of speech. The communist government is paranoid about having another Tiananmen Square protest (the last one ended in an estimated 10,000 deaths). The government simply doesn’t trust their own people.

there are always 2 or more than 2 train stations in cities of china. 1 old station for normal trains, 1 or more new station for bullet trains. e.g. where i live, hangzhou ,we have 5 train stations. and planning a new one. it should also be noted that the railway stations in most cities are named by the way of "city name+location". but this is not the case in Wuhan city. the three railway stations in wuhan are called Wuchang station, Hankou station and Wuhan station. this is due to the unique historical reasons of Wuhan. hope this is useful for any foreigner who wants to come to china have a journey.

I'm glad to see that you are happy and feel safe in China! I am a Chinese, but I have to admit that unfortunately I often hear Islamophobia comments from people around me. On this topic, it is correct for the government to censor online speeches to some degree, directly or through regulations on online platforms. I am quite sure that, otherwise, Islamophobia sentiments could be amplified to a harmful degree by unknowing narrow-minded netizens or people with an agenda (e.g. to incite racial conflicts.)

[@yanglan9604]

As an atheist. I usually think that Muslims are not very friendly to women. No offense. In China, our founding leader said: "Women can hold up half the sky." He completely liberated Chinese women. Let him have the same power as men. After watching your video, I also realized that Muslim women can also be very confident and elegant.

[@silkroadgirll]

I am happy you get to see that :)

[@yanglan9604]

@Michael G Thank you very much for your reply, I am also an atheist myself. My mother is also a member of the Communist Party. I am also a firm atheist. Chairman Mao once said: Man will conquer the sky. It means that human effort is more important than fate and the so-called gods. We also have a famous saying in ancient China: the way of gods and ghosts respect but stay away from him. I agree with you very much, and I am also happy that you have such an idea. Western media monopolize the world's right to speak. Most people don't have a good impression of our China. But as a Chinese, I know that I live a happy and free life. A lie is a lie after all. In another 20 years, the world will know that China is very prosperous and strong, and the Chinese people are proud of his motherland.

[@yanglan9604]

@Michael G In fact, the Chinese government does not interfere with missionaries, and the Chinese government supports religious freedom. But most Chinese people are influenced by Confucianism. Confucianism believes that people and their efforts are the most effective way to change the world. Therefore, the development of religion in China is not smooth.

for chinese, simply scan the id card and you are in. no need to get the paper ticket. at Shenzhen North, there is typically a lane that can scan passports too. i normally get to the train station 10-15 minutes ahead and that is plenty. the boarding gates won't even open more than 5 minutes ahead.

If you're from the UK of course you're going to find a big Chinese city to be busier with people. Population of London is not even 9 million whereas Guangzhou and Shenzhen is around 15 million and 12 million respectively. High security is a good thing and of course you get an allocated seat when you buy a ticket, why wouldn't it be otherwise on any high speed train ride?
