very nice station. huge and clean too.

[@OlisBigPicture]

It sure is!

[@productguru8323]

It was built in 1898 and rebuilt later. It seems they tried to keep some of the European influence.

[@stephaniewasem5666]

The sic pack scene is very funny

[@johnsamu]

Great information about the train e-tickets. Last time (pre COVID) I went by high speed train in China there were still paper train tickets.

[@OlisBigPicture]

You still can pick up paper tickets after buying online, but no need anymore. However still possible to buy food old paper at the counters

[@user-vt9fp1sb4l]

可以有纸质发票但是在坐车时已经根本不需要了

​@@OlisBigPicturehai. I plan to take a soft /hard sleeper train from beijing to harbin with my hushband and my daughter. I read that child under 6 years old is free. Is it valid for soft/hard sleeper class? In the bunk of hard/soft sleeper is a mixed gender ? Thank you for ur information..

[@OlisBigPicture]

@@yunnys8417 I am a solo traveler, unfortunately I cannot give you reliable information about taking children with you on the journey. Safe trip for you and your family!

[@diegohermano9445]

Amazing video, my friend!!! I want to know if you recomend doing Hong Kong, Shangai and Beijing by train, is this better and cheaper than going by plane? Thank you!!!!

[@OlisBigPicture]

Well I would always go by train BJ-SH and SH/BJ-HK always by airplane. It's faster and more comfortable by train to bj from sh and faster from bj/sh to hk by airplanes

[@MarinJapan]

11:40 All these people obviously being recorded. I'm sure some of them don't want to be recorded.

[@mechannel7046]

Can you please explain your recording setup (what camera you are using, etc)?

[@OlisBigPicture]

Well I am still working on it, currently using my Xiaomi 11 Ultra and a simple phone mount. As mic I use the syncoG2, it's really good price value. Once I can out external links under my videos (need 1000+ subs) I'll link it

[@mechannel7046]

@@OlisBigPicture Thank you for your response!

[@zoeziyang]

First comment is Zoe Kloe! 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

[@Beckooo92]

Thank you for the video! So do you recommend getting the station about 1 hour before to get through passport check etc? or 30/45 mins enough. Thank you.

[@OlisBigPicture]

It depends on the day time (rush hour or not) and train station. Usually 45 min are more than enough to do passport check and luggage check. If lines are average passport check should take max 5-15 min and luggage check less than 5-10 min.

[@ssssong2039]

到车站的时候距离开车预留15-20分钟， 因为车站通常很大， 一定要注意车票的信息有注明：通道口1-20中的某一个

[@silesiatransit]

After exiting the platform and going to exit gates, can you acces the station hall? Or do you need to scan something again? Its just hard for me to understand exiting the trains in China haha, also, is there separate entrances and exits to and from platforms? What if I would need to have a transfer?

[@OlisBigPicture]

It depends on the train station, usually when you exit you end up in the main train hall and from there then can enter other platforms but habe to scan again your passport/ticket to enter the new platform for your new train. Basically some at the airport for connecting flights.

[@user-nr3sy1bq4j]

There is a transfer channel, usually a barrier-free elevator, enter the platform ticket gate, take out your passport and show it to the staff, just like at 8:20 in the video, if you have a ticket, he will let you into the lobby

[@hand587]

Fascinating! On the one hand the Chinese train network looks very good, in this sense they've massively overtaken Europe. On the other hand, with all the security and passport scanning, it's like they removed one of the big upsides to taking the train versus the plane. In Europe, I love how convenient it is to just hop on a train without any fuss and without having to wait at a gate with nothing to do.

[@OlisBigPicture]

I experience it weekly and must say it's one of the best in the world, if not the best

[@alinabutuman4607]

Maybe you haven't travelled by fast train in Spain, they also do security and ID check

[@tobiaswarnatz8535]

I'm wondering how the delivery people enter to bring you food since they probably don't have a ticket :P Very well produced and insightful video. Looking forward to more of your content!

[@OlisBigPicture]

Haha I didn't see yet how they operate this. I guess they bring it to a central collection point where it is distributed to the trains when they stop by

[@Schwanengans]

中国的数字化建设领先世界，外卖根据你的车次、车厢、座位号，在停车时能准时送给乘客。

[@antonyip]

Normally you can only order from those have restaurant in the railway station waiting room, to make sure of speed delivery to the platform. Although it’s not showed in this very informative video, the 2nd floor of the station waiting room will usually have a lot of restaurants, including chained fast foods, local specialities and convenience stores. So don’t worry if you’re running out of time to the railway station, you can always pick up something before boarding.

[@ssssong2039]

在车站 入驻的商家通常都和车站乘客信息联网， 在座位上扫二维码买东西都会对应座位号的

[@mastercenex]

How long did it take you to wait in the manual check-in line?

[@OlisBigPicture]

It depends on train station and time of thr day usually not more than 15min

[@samsara1]

Most of ppl don't use manual gate. So usually not long at all. Also quite some station allow scanning passport anyway. A few months ago during our trip, my friend kept scanning his passport and enter or exit before me. Lol

[@jeffreysetapak]

齐齐哈尔站 or Qiqihar Station is located at Qiqihar ethnically Manchurian autonomous county inside Heilongjiang 黑龙江 province. Qiqihar itself is a Manchurian name, not a Mongolian name and it's not situated inside of Inner Mongolia. Thank you.

[@OlisBigPicture]

Great insights thank you! I don't recall where I stated it's in Inner Mongolia 内蒙古. Was my first time there to visit some local friends, was super interesting to explore and learn about that region.

[@OlisBigPicture]

Oh, btw I just learned Qiqihar has a city friendship with Weißenfels, a German city not far from my home town Leipzig 😁

[@zoeziyang]

Heilongjiang has only one automous county, which is Dorbod Mongol Autonomous County and it's under jurisdiction of Daqing, not Qiqihar... Qiqihar has an ethnic minority district for the Daur people tho. And in fact the name Qiqihar comes from the Daur language meaning natural pasture/borderland. Has not much to do with the Manchurians...😳😳

[@jeffreysetapak]

@@zoeziyang 奇怪，我去那边当地的老爷爷说是满人地区？？

[@zoeziyang]

@@jeffreysetapak 我们东北的老大爷有些满嘴跑火车，哈哈哈哈~ 我也是最近在做一些小功课才了解到的，其实齐齐哈尔严格意义上讲算是北方少数民族杂居地区，蒙、回、满、朝鲜、达斡尔族都挺主流的，还有一些鄂温克和柯尔克孜族。中国东北地区的达斡尔族几乎都在齐齐哈尔。齐齐哈尔十个民族乡里只有一个水师营是满族，他们是清朝派过来戍边的屯兵。满族大本营主要在辽宁，全国超一半的满族在辽宁，满族自治县的话辽宁有6个，吉林有1个，黑龙江没有。希望可以帮到你哈~ ☺️☺️

[@andreaae5060]

Thank you for the information 😊 how much luggage can you get in the train? Or there is no problem with that?

[@OlisBigPicture]

I've never encountered restrictions, therefore I guess..as much as you can carry haha

[@user-uc5qu4xm9g]

Could you (and how) to buy a train ticket on line, using a foreign passport?
