I was in China a couple of months back. We landed in Beijing, spent a few days and needed to get to Shanghai. We had 2 choices, get a domestic flight or get the train. Considering that the plane was more expensive, took the same time to travel and the fact that it needed more effort to travel (i.e security checks, luggage checking and what not) we decided to take the train.

Needless to say I was very impressed with the entire railroad system. For me it was almost like the ideal Airport experience. Convenient, Clean, On time with half the hassle. The only downside was that it is not yet easy to use for non Chinese speaking people like us. However the staff and people were very friendly and were always eager to help.

幾個月前我在中國。我們在北京着陸，在那裏花費了幾天時間，後來有事需要去上海。我們有兩個選擇，坐國內航班還是坐火車。考慮到飛機更貴，並且花費的時間和高鐵是一樣的，而且乘飛機出行更麻煩(安全檢查，行李檢查等等)，所以我們決定乘高鐵。

不用説，整個鐵路系統給我留下了深刻的印象。對我來説，這幾乎是理想的機場體驗。方便，乾淨，準時，減少了一半的麻煩。唯一的缺點是，對於像我們這樣不會説中文的人來説，它還不容易使用。然而，工作人員和人們都很友好，都是樂於助人的。

I recently took the fast train from Chengdu to Guilin. It takes about 6 1/2 hours, for 1200 km, so about 200 km/hour on average (there are many stations along the way). It’s not the fastest of the fast trains. But very comfortable, and most of all, much more convenient than the plane. The train left at about 6:40am, and we were there by 1:00pm. But: you can arrive at the station 15 minutes early and it’s OK, as opposed to the plane where you should be there at least one hour in advance. The train station is more central and easy to get to. You don’t have to: wait to check in, wait for security, wait for boarding, wait on the tarmac… There is security when entering the station, but there’s hardly any lineup. In the train: comfortable seats, plenty of leg room, large windows so you can admire the view. Very smooth ride. Overall, it was just a pleasant, relaxing morning. About 40% cheaper than the plane. There’s just no contest.

我最近坐了從成都到桂林的快車，大約花費了6個半小時，總路程1200公里，平均大約200公里/小時(沿途有很多車站)。這不是最快的火車。但是非常舒適，最重要的是，比飛機方便多了。火車大約在早上6:40出發，我們在下午一點就到達了目的地。但是: 你可以提前15分鐘到達車站，這是可以的，而不是像坐飛機那樣至少提前一個小時到達。火車站在市中心，很容易到達。你不需要:等着檢票，等着安檢，等着登機，等着停機坪……進站時有安檢，但幾乎沒有排隊。在火車上: 舒適的座位，充足的腿部空間，大窗户，讓你可以欣賞風景。非常平穩。總的來説，這只是一個愉快、放鬆的早晨。大約比飛機便宜40%，還不用搶票。

Have you ever traveled on China’’s high-speed railway? What impression has China’’s high-speed train made on you?

We recently took the high speed maglev from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) to Longyang Road Station in Shanghai where we hailed a cab for the remainder of our trip to our hotel.

The ride took about 7 minutes, and the train reached about about 270 MPH (about 430 KMPH) the ride is very smooth almost like sitting at a desk except for a mild bump when the compression wave from the train and the compression wave from the train going in the other direction pass. The trains pass so quickly that it’s very difficult to see the oncoming train on the other track.

你坐過中國的高鐵嗎? 中國高鐵給你留下了什麼印象?

我們最近乘坐了從上海浦東國際機場到上海龍陽路站的高速磁懸浮列車。

路上花了7分鐘, 列車達到約270英里/時(約430公里/時)，行駛過程很平穩，幾乎像坐在桌子上一樣，除了和迎面而來的列車交錯而過時產生的壓縮波造成的輕微的碰撞感。列車開得很快，很難看清另一條軌道上迎面駛來的列車。

The train costs about $7.00 for a one way ticket. The coach seats are very comfortable.

The maglev is a pretty impressive train. It was originally built as a test for the expansion of China’s high speed train system. See; Shanghai maglev train - Wikipedia

The regular metro takes about an hour and costs about $1.00.

這趟列車單程票價大約7美元，經濟艙的座位很舒服。

磁懸浮列車是一種令人印象深刻的列車。它最初是作為中國高鐵系統擴張的測試而建造的。請看：上海磁懸浮列車-維基百科

乘坐普通的地鐵大約需要一個小時，花費大約1美元。

Lawrence Chen, ThinkPad BBS Manager in China (1 Millionuser platform)

I tried one time from Chengdu to Chongqing. (My hometown), less than 2 hours journey. I tried 1st clas seat, very quiet and steady. If you try Business class (more expensive than 1st class, only available in longer journey trains) You would not want to use airplanes any more. Quiet, peaceful, super steady, just like Roll Royce in cars. Similar feeling. Lol

我試過一次從成都到重慶。(我的家鄉)，不到2小時的路程。我試着坐了次頭等艙，非常安靜和穩定。如果你嘗試商務艙(比頭等艙貴，只適用於長途旅行)，你就不會再想坐飛機了。安靜，平和，超級穩定，就像火車裏的勞斯萊斯，給你一種類似的感覺。哈哈

Darren Hughes, lives in China (2012-present)

Wonderful, I always go business class - you get a nice big seat, dinner from a friendly steward and it isn’t all that expensive either - what you would pay for a economy class domestic flight.

The last time I took it was two weeks ago to Beijing Airport - it was me and the cop guarding the train in the first class carriage - he was a friendly fellow who said I had big, muscly arms haha! I would take it again for sure.

太棒了，我總是坐商務艙——你會得到一個不錯的大座位，從一位友好的乘務員那裏吃晚餐，而且也不是那麼貴——你願意花多少錢坐國內航班的經濟艙呢。

我最後一次乘坐它是在兩週前去北京機場的時候，當時和我一起坐在頭等車廂的是保衞列車的乘警，他是一個很友好的人，他説我的胳膊很大，肌肉發達，哈哈! 我肯定會再坐一次的。

Jolie Chow, Mainland Chinese. Love my country.

Fast. Punctual. Comfortable. Affordable.

These four words are exactly the feeling of travelling on China’s high speed railway.

Even travelling on the speed of more than 350 km/h, you will hardly feel any uncomfortable along all the way.

The best thing is, China’s high speed train never delays (except in extreme whether), which is much better than flights.

Moreover, the train ticket price on China Train Booking App is not as expensive as a flight ticket. For example, a 2nd class seat on the train from Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station to Hangzhou East Railway Station (distance: 167 km) costs only 73 RMB (=11 USD).

You can find more details about China’s high speed rail by reading What Are the 3 Types of China High Speed Trains?

速度快並且守時的列車，感覺舒適，讓人負擔得起的。

這四個詞，正是乘坐中國高鐵的感受。

即使以超過350公里/小時的速度旅行，你也幾乎不會感到任何不適。

最棒的是，中國的高鐵從不晚點(除非是極端情況)，這比飛機好多了。

此外，中國火車票預訂App上的火車票價格也不像機票那麼貴。例如，從上海虹橋火車站到杭州東站的火車的二等座位(距離:167公里)只需要73元人民幣(=11美元)。

你可以通過閲讀中國高鐵的三種類型來了解更多關於中國高鐵的細節。

Adam Richards, lived in China (2011-2017)

When you buy the ticket, you feel that price-wise maybe you should have flown domestic instead.

When you arrive at the station 10 minutes before the train leaves instead of an hour before, you feel like okay you’ve saved some time. At the very least you’ve saved yourself hanging around an airport for a while.

When you sit down in your seat and realize that you can actually move your legs, or get past your neighbor without disturbing said neighbor, you feel skinnier.

When you look out your window and see rural China flying by, you feel caught in a time-warp.

When you walk up and down the aisles at your pleasure and convenience, you feel the blood circulating.

當你買高鐵票的時候，你會覺得你應該改乘國內航班。

當你在高鐵出發前10分鐘而不是1小時到達車站時，你會覺得你節省了一些時間。至少你不用讓自己在機場逗留一段時間。

當你坐在座位上，意識到你可以移動你的腿，並且不會打擾你的鄰居，你會覺得自己變瘦了。

當你望向窗外，看到中國的農村飛馳而過，你會覺得時間彷彿被卡在了時空隧道里。

當你隨意在過道里走來走去時，你會感到血液在循環。

When you use your 4G (or portable wifi) on the trip without anyone telling you that it interferes with the operation of the vehicle, you feel productive (more realistically, you feel entertained/distracted).

When you rush out of the car with your fellow passengers (and a few of the crew) to have a smoke at one of the longer stops, you feel a head rush.

When you realize that your North American infrastructure is light years behind China’s, you feel ashamed.

EDIT: Thanks for all the upvotes. And thank you as well to the Quorans who have suggested that “light years behind” might not be an appropriate phrase to use here. I’m aware that a light year is a unit of distance, not time (This is not the Millennium Falcon making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs!). Please understand I’m using this phrase idiomatically.

當你在旅途中使用4G(或便攜式wifi)時，沒有人告訴你它會干擾車輛的運行，你會感到高效(更實際地説，你會感到愉悦和開心)。

當你和其他乘客(以及一些工作人員)在一個較長的站點上衝出車廂去吸煙時，你會感到頭痛。

當你意識到你的北美基礎設施比中國落後幾光年時，你會感到羞愧。

編輯:謝謝大家的支持。同時也感謝Quorans，他們認為“光年落後”可能不是一個合適的短語。我知道一光年是距離的單位，而不是時間的單位(這不是千年隼在不到12秒的時間內跑完凱塞爾!) 請理解我為什麼用這個短語。

The seats are very comfortable. A first class ticket costs similar to an economy air ticket for the same journey. I know which I would rather sit in. Even the second class chairs provided plenty of space. There is enough space that I can sit cross-legged if I want to.

Freedom to move about is great too. The aisles are wide enough that you can get up and stretch without disturbing anyone. You can use your mobile phone, use the internet, or work on your laptop. There is also a restaurant car where you can buy some food - though limited to microwaved rice meals or instant noodles. The toilets are large, clean and comfortable to use too.

There is very little feeling of motion. The train doesn’t rattle, rock or sway. Even when braking into a station platform, you can barely feel it.

這些座位很舒服。頭等艙的票價與經濟艙相同，我知道我願意坐在哪個座位上。即使是二等艙的椅子也提供了足夠的空間，這裏有足夠的空間，如果我願意，我可以盤腿坐着。

行動自由也很重要。通道足夠寬，你可以站起來伸展身體而不打擾任何人。你可以使用你的手機，使用互聯網，或在你的筆記本電腦上工作。這裏還有一輛餐車，你可以在那裏買到一些食物——儘管僅限於微波米飯或方便麪。廁所很大，很乾淨，使用起來也很舒服。

幾乎沒有行駛的感覺。高鐵不嘎嘎作響，不搖晃，也不搖擺。即使在站台上剎車時，你也幾乎感覺不到它。

There are not many things that I could improve upon, but I’ll give a few. I would like a power outlet at each row or seats to charge my phone or laptop. Some extra English language signs would be handy, especially when in smaller cities. Finally, I would like for people who don’t have Chinese ID cards to be able to buy electronic tickets more easily. Currently, you have to go and claim your ticket from the counter staff before entering the departure hall, whereas, Chinese people just beep through with their ID cards. (Though I did once board just by waving my phone with the booking confirmation number on the screen.)

If you are travelling around China, take the train wherever possible. It is so much more convenient than flying.

我可以給出需要改進的地方並不多，但我將給出一些。我想要在每一排或每一個座位上都有電源插座來給我的手機或筆記本電腦充電。添加一些額外的英語標牌會很方便，尤其是在小城市。最後，我希望那些沒有中國身份證的人能夠更容易地在線上買到車票。目前，你必須在進入候機廳前到櫃枱領取機票，然而，中國人只需出示身份證就可以了。(不過，我也曾通過在屏幕上顯示預訂確認號碼的手機登車。)

如果你在中國各地旅行，儘可能坐高鐵。它比坐飛機方便多了。

Paul Denlinger, Have lived in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong; fluent in Mandarin (written, spoken)

They are very comfortable; MUCH better than flying.

In Chinese airports, you feel like a cow which is being sent to slaughter, except that the departure gates are always changing about 30 minutes before departure, and when they change, airport management makes sure that the newly assigned departure gate is at another terminal which is at the other end of the airport. Then, when you get there, you find out that your flight is delayed, but no one says how long it is delayed.

In contrast, Chinese train stations for high-speed trains are very modern, and they always depart on time. Depending on the class of ticket you purchased, you can stretch out on the train and spend all your time setting up your appointments on WeChat before you arrive at your destination, so this makes things much more efficient.

This is why I travel by train in China, and never fly if I can help it.

它們很舒服; 比坐飛機舒服多了。

在中國的機場，你會覺得像是一頭牛被送到屠宰場，並且登機口總是改變在出發前30分鐘，當它們發生改變，機場管理者通常使新分配的登機門是在機場的另一端。然後，當你到了那裏，你發現你的航班延誤了，但是沒有人會告訴你要延誤多長時間。

相比之下，中國的高鐵站非常現代化，而且總是準時發車。根據你購買的車票種類，你可以在高鐵上伸展四肢，在到達目的地之前，把你所有的時間都花在微信上設置你的預約，這將使得事情更有效率。

這就是為什麼我在中國坐高鐵旅行，如果可以的話，我絕不坐飛機。

Mike Jones

Quite a few people have answered this question and I think you can safely say China is leading the world in rail technology and after a serious accident a few years back, caused by corrupt officials cutting corners, the government is keen to prevent this kind of thing happening again, so I think you can now travel with peace of mind.

While all the positive side of Chinese rail travel has been covered, and rightly so; it really is a wonderful system which is the envy of many supposedly more developed countries, only a couple of people have commented on the negative aspects.

不少人回答了這個問題，我認為你可以大膽的地説，中國正在領導世界高鐵技術，幾年前曾發生過一個嚴重的事故，造成的原因是腐敗官員偷工減料，政府希望杜絕這種事情再次發生，所以我認為你現在可以帶着安寧的心上車。

在中國乘坐高鐵旅行會帶來所有積極方面的體驗，而且理應如此; 這真是一個讓許多所謂的發達國家羨慕的好系統，只有少數人對它有負面評論。

For me personally as a foreigner in China the most frustrating thing is having to queue for up to an hour to get your ticket - even if you already booked online. Locals can use the self-service machines with their Chinese ID card but I’ve only found one station so far which has machines that can accept a foreign passport. It seems almost every person in the queue only starts to decide when and where they wish to go when the reach the ticket window and long conversations can ensue before they eventually decide on their preferred time and destination. I’ve missed trains because of this before and on other occasions I’ve queued for over 30 minutes for a 15 minute journey, not including the extra time needed to check through the tight security (not complaining - security and personal safety are a good thing).

對我個人來説，作為一個在中國的外國人，最令人沮喪的事情就是排隊一個小時才能拿到票——即使你已經在網上訂票了。當地人可以用他們的中國身份證使用自助機，但到目前為止我只找到一個車站有可以識別外國人護照的機器。似乎幾乎每個排隊的人都只是在到達售票窗口和長時間的交談之後才開始決定什麼時候去哪裏，然後才最終決定他們喜歡的時間和目的地。我以前因為這個錯過了我的列車，在那種的場合，為了15分鐘的旅程，我已經排了30多分鐘的隊了，且不包括通過嚴密的安檢所需要的額外時間(不是抱怨——保證公共安全和個人安全是件好事)。

4.Ticket machines at Lowu Station in Shenzhen accept foreign passports but not sure at time of typing this whether they only allow for ticket collection for journeys from Lowu or whether you can book and collect tickets for any station.

5.If you can book your return ticket, also try to collect it at the same time you collect your outward journey ticket so you only have to queue once

4.深圳羅湖站的售票機接受外國護照，但在輸入此信息時不確定它們是否只允許從羅湖站取票，或者您是否可以預訂和取任何站的票。

5.如果你可以預定你的返程車票，也要設法在領取你的出發車票的同時領取，這樣你只需要排隊一次就可。

I once took the train from Tianjin to Beijing - over 150km, there in just over 30 minutes. Clean, very fast, a fantastic service.

Got out at Beijing central station, hopped in a taxi…and sat in Beijing traffic for an hour and a half traveling the last 10km to the office… :-(

我曾經坐過從天津到北京的高鐵——路程150公里，30分鐘就到了。列車非常乾淨，速度非常快，還有非常棒的服務。

在北京中央車站下車，跳上一輛出租車，在北京的車流中坐了一個半小時，才完成了最後10公里到達辦公室。
