@elonakarafin: Save this for booking Business Class on China’s bullet trains 🚆👇🏼 Business Class cabins are tiny (just 5 seats!) so they sell out fast. Tickets usually open 15 days before departure, but on Trip.com you can submit your request earlier and they’ll auto-buy the second sales open. Pay the small “expedite” fee — totally worth it. For popular routes, there’s no guarantee you’ll get a seat right away. Book multiple train options for flexibility, and keep checking — people cancel constantly. We rebooked every single ride as better cabins opened up. Backup tickets can usually be cancelled for a small fee (<10%). Note: not all trains have Business Class — make sure it says “Business Class” and check the cabin photo. We paid $145 for 3.5 hours - cheaper than an economy flight. Worth it? 👀 Drop your questions below! #chinatravel #chinatrain #🇨🇳 #chinatrain
I mourn the fact we don’t have a high speed train system in the US 😭

Do you know why China has over 50K kilometers of high speed rail? Because it’s not a capitalism country,what I mean by that? Is that 90% of the high speed rail lines are actually losing money for the short term but is still needed, so the goverment will make such an investment. For a capitalism country no company would make such an investment to lose money! Always put the people first!

Some are saying $145 sounds expensive. She says 3½ hour journey so in miles on a Chinese high speed train that equates to around 700 miles. The ticket is Business Class. a standard ticket, in what is still a very comfortable seat would cost around $35 to $40 for a journey of that length. On Passport, it is required on boarding for foreigners, simply as ID for security. Local people present China ID. I have travelled on Chinese high speed often. they are so smooth and quite, you can barely feel any vibration and that's at speeds up to 217 miles per hour (350km per hour).
