It's just easier to bring cup instant noodle because all Chinese trains offer hot water, but you can actually prepare and bring whatever you want to eat, as long as it doesn't go bad too quickly in room temperature and to be polite, doesn't stink too much. Personally, I like to bring some pot-stewed fowl that can be served cold and fruits.

Interesting video. I travelled many times on the high speed trains when I lived in China, but never took advantage of the experience of the sleeper trains. I don't sleep well on hard bases I'm afraid. So I was glad to see your video and know a bit more of what it is actually like. As expected, spotlessly clean. And yes, those meat travel snacks gross me out too. The instant noodles aren't bad though.

So FOR YEARS, I HONESTLY do not understand what the big deal. Until seating toilets became available, ALL toilets IN THE WORLD were squat toilets... Get over it, people.

Amy, hope one day you could visit the whole of Lake Tai (太湖) regions. It is the cradle of Wu culture (江浙文化). There are many historical places or towns (most of them are more than 2000 years old) to visit, very touristy, and have great food as well. For example 同里(The Venice of China), 乌镇,南浔古镇, 木渎(Cornucopia of Wu Culture) etc. In addition, Wuxi is the closest city to Lake Tai, as well as famous tourist attractions nearby Lake Tai as well... You will be impressed if you visit that region. 唔是无锡宁,欢迎外国旁油来无锡白相白相。

I traveled the same route back in 2004, when I was a high school student studying for a summer in Beijing. My overnight sleeper had only two rows of beds on each parallel wall. Did the squat toilet have plumbing? 15 years ago, it was just a hole in the floor; you could basically see the tracks below. I had the pleasure to return to China since then, and the changes are unbelievable. I will always have very fond memories of that first trip.

Remind me all the college days when I had to travel back and from hometown to school in those night trains. Sleeping seats are harder to get, sometimes i can only get sitting seats. With all those knowledge, when my girlfriend and I travelled in Europe, we book a night train and expecting the similar system, however... at Salzburge train staion 11pm, we boarded a train to Venice. But that was a room with 6 half naked young guys with a big box of beers..... they were apparently drunk. Luckily a gentlemen with uniform came by and asked if my girlfriend wanted to move to all-girl-only coach, leaving me with those drunk guys. But it turned out to be a great experience. they were a group of soccer fans working in a factory or so ( they spoke little English and I understood 0 German) but I drank beer the whole night!!

Amy, some years ago I was working in Shenyang. There was about 6 feet of snow on the ground which consisted of black and white layers, the black being coal dust which was always in the air. Although they were not allowed to buy anything, the locals would crowd into the Friendship store to keep warm. My wife and I were supposed to fly to Hong Kong but the airport was closed due to the weather so we took a train to Beijing. The airport at Beijing was also closed so we got a train to Goungzho (sp?)> I knew it as Canton. From there we took a hover craft down the Pearl river to Hong Kong. It was an interesting 2 day trip.

Approx 10 years ago I travelled by night train from Luoyang to Pingyao and from Pingyao to Datong. I wonder of these night trains still exist between these places It was also 6 beds per cabin. I am 1,83 meters and I did fit. It was not uncomfortable but I did worry about my stuff being stolen. Luckily that didn't happen and I was probably overworried. I like travelling in China but what I don't like is getting a visa. You need to say upfront which places you want to visit and in which hotels you will stay as far as I know. Maybe the rules have changed? Once covid is over I will travel again but I am not sure if China will be my destination, I like many countries.

Overnight sleeper trains are ok. Longer journeys are almost a nightmare. My first experience of a hard sleeper was Beijing to Datong in winter. Snowing outside. But the trains were uncomfortably hot and I spent the whole night in a lather of sweat 😓 Tbh, I've been on 24hr trips from Shenzhen to Henan Zhengzhou and they are also sometimes uncomfortable. Don't buy the food in the train station as it's incredibly marked up. You can purchase cheap at the corner mart or supermarkets. I enjoyed bringing fresh fruits on the journey. Soft sleepers are worth the upgrade. 1st class cabins are ok but even they are shared unless you buy out all 4 tickets. My worst experience was a sleeper bus that got stuck in the snow for 12 hours in Hunan whilst travelling from Shenzhen to Henan. Took 36 hrs for a 24hr ride... Word of warning for CNY. Tickets sell out weeks in advance and the trains are so overcrowded that people will sit in the aisles on their luggage and train stations will be packed with what seems like thousands of passengers. Many train stations use baggage scanners as well.

There's also the business class cabins which are only two beds and a private bathroom (western toilet). You also get a (musty) single seat sofa. The beds are pretty much the same as the soft sleepers. I would say it's a luxury that's only worth it if you're traveling with one other person and really want some good sleep, or just want to splurge on a different experience.

Over here in England we have spam, ham, tins of sardines and other package meat which was also used in world war as ration food. I think we should try our best and adapt to eat meat package for survival and conveniences for our advantages. Chicken feet is packed with cartilage that helps your joints. A man stranded in the ocean had adapted eating exotic parts of the fish such as liver packed with iron and eyeball omega 3 and other fatty parts of the fish for triglycerides and protein Human body are very hood with survival, when the are thirsty they will find water and make it clean. Modern society had prevented us from eating exotic things which we shouldn’t have abandon these lost survival and adaptation. During the world war those who survives are the one who fed well because you can’t fight well without food, and it breaks morale. Those poor Chinese people, for those who fought in ww1 and ww2,the 96000 chinese labour corps who fought against the Nazi, for the British, American and France for their freedom and other parts of Europe, they were treated unfairly.

Most people from cities in China prefer to travel by bullet trains or by flights as these options are very affordable for someone who earns a average salary in most cities. So do expect to travel with people from rural areas or migrant workers on these normal trains. Nothing wrong with these lovely people, but you'll have to put up with the chaotic, sometimes not so western-standard civilized manners. But I guess it's a part of the experience. If you prefer so stay within the comfort zone, definitely avoid these trains.

Not much different for overnight travels in Italy some 40/50 years ago: the difference: six places compartments. (toilet expectations included). Today I don't know but I'm not very optimistic.

For the next video, I think you need to show yourself have chit-chat with locals. It's always great to see how the locals look at u as an "alien" at first, but after you break the ice, yeah u know the rest. That would be more interesting.

Ah...The good old sleeping carriage. They are much better in cleanness and comfortable compare to the 80s. There is a slightly better sleeping cars called soft sleeping cars, 4 beds per closed cabin with slightly softer beds, larger moving space for passengers and better privacy. The price maybe much higher though.

Wow...how old is the train really? it looks like it's nothing like the other trains of china on youtube. Is the fare affordable? Honestly tho, thumbs up for the video. i never knew it was that clean inside. i kinda expect cockroaches or something like that.

车站的东西又贵又不好吃。。。。如果真的计划出行,可以提前在家附近的超市买好。搭乘卧铺的话注意财物的安全,上铺相对安全些。可以带双拖鞋,把自己的鞋子放好以防被人家错穿或者恶意带走。虽然这样情况不上常发生,但是还是有发生过的,带拖鞋这样你去厕所或者餐车都方便些。经济允许可以买软卧,这样更私密些,更舒适些,财物更安全些。坐卧铺有时候也是快乐的体验,尤其是一群朋友出发,六个床位都是你们的,可以一起吃零食,玩游戏,很棒不是嘛?

It reminds me of my undergrad life. The only direct transportation from my hometown and Dalian, where I got my bachelor's, is by train. It was never a pleasant experience. Sometimes there were babies on the train, and they might cry loudly for the whole night! By the way, I never tried the breakfast they sell on the train. Maybe you can give it a try and share with us how it tastes.
