What is the experience of foreigners taking the high-speed train in China?

For safety reasons, I am driving at a low speed-275 km/h (170 mph)! Seeing this scene, foreign netizens exclaimed: Are China people kidding? Is this still driving at low speed?

20 15 a stunt of "coins don't drop" in China high-speed railway shocked a foreign guy. After he posted the video on social media, a wave of shocked nuts went to China to experience the high-speed rail trip.

So, what is the user experience of these foreign partners?

Let's listen to how China high-speed rail fans around the world praise China high-speed rail.

The first netizen was an Indian, and after the name was translated into Chinese, there was 15, so I stopped reading it. He said:

China high-speed rail is great!

A few years ago, I took the China high-speed train from Tianjin to Beijing for the first time.

I recently took the high-speed train to Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Xiamen. For the first time, I feel that the train can be so comfortable and convenient!

First, book tickets on 12306. This system is very fast and the whole process is very smooth. Especially this website has an English interface, which is great!

After arriving at the station, I took a paper ticket from the ticket machine with my passport.

There are at least 20 automatic ticket collection machines (China citizens use ID cards to collect tickets) and two special ticket collection machines for foreigners (use passports to collect tickets).

At the same time, there is at least one policeman or security guard around to assist us.

It should be emphasized that the railway station in China is very large and can accommodate many people.

After entering the carriage, we can feel that the seats in the carriage are very comfortable and the air conditioning is great. The monitors at both ends of the carriage remind us that we are driving at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.

I put these photos on Facebook, and all my friends thought it was incredible.

But in the car, I have never felt the train running at such a high speed, because the train runs very smoothly, and I can easily write on a small table with a pen.

The China high-speed train is much smoother than the Eurostar I took from London to Paris. In an instant, we passed villages, fields and several cities.

Look at the interior layout: the first-class car seat layout is 2 +2, and the second-class car seat layout is 3+2 (although both cars are equipped with air conditioning).

Besides, there is a plug next to each seat, which can be used to charge laptops and mobile phones. This equipment is so practical that almost everyone is using it.

There is also a restaurant on the train, and the waiter will provide drinks and food with a trolley every 20 minutes or so.

The window is huge and bright, so you don't have to worry about claustrophobia at all.

The bathroom is also quite clean, and it is cleaned every 30 minutes.

They are as clean as the toilets on the Southern Railway train that I often use in Britain.

I find the high-speed train in China more comfortable than flying. Seriously, I prefer to travel by high-speed rail!

About the cost: it was much cheaper than flying (at that time, the distance from Shenzhen to Xiamen was only 3 hours and 45 minutes, and the fare was 188 RMB, while the air ticket was 1200 RMB).

People always like to compare their things with others. In this round of PK, China high-speed rail won the high-speed rail of other countries with the attitude of "other people's children"!

The second netizen is a German craft designer. His name is Chris Chen. This is his evaluation of China high-speed rail:

"I have been feeling China's achievements in the high-speed rail system, and high speed and stability are my greatest feelings.

Relax in the blue cushioned seat and order a cup of coffee from the beautiful stewardess. The number in the display screen above the two ends of the carriage is "3 10 km/h", which is the current speed!

The whole high-speed rail system in China is well-designed, the platform is clean and shiny, and the safety is almost as high as that of the airport. Although there are many people, it is still very suitable for buying tickets most of the time. You just need to arrive early during peak hours and holidays, because the huge flow of people may really hold you back.

Once you miss the departure time, don't expect to catch this train, because almost all the high-speed trains in China are on time!

No delay! This is more Germany than us Germans! "

Did everyone hear that? Even Germans, who are famous for their preciseness, think that we are more German than Germany in terms of high-speed rail.

The next netizen is a British engineer named Mince Berg. He said:

"I think China's understanding of high-speed rail depends on the definition of the word' advanced'.

According to my personal experience, I will talk about it from two aspects: speed and convenience.

Briefly introduce my personal experience.

In the past few years, when I traveled from Guangzhou to Beijing, it usually took about 40 hours by ordinary train.

But now the high-speed rail only takes about 8- 10 hours.

Let's take a look at the specific speed of high-speed rail: the speed of the train with the prefix "G" is about 250-400 kilometers per hour, and the speed of the train with the prefix "D" is about 200 kilometers per hour.

Of course, you can run faster, but the current speed is more suitable for the current situation.

If "advanced" refers to the speed of the next generation of products that are still being studied in experiments, the speed of high-speed railway can reach about 1000 km per hour in experiments, but this product is not mature in aerodynamics: friction and vibration are still unsolved problems.

Let's talk about its convenience. You have no idea how convenient it is!

Consider this situation: you want to go to Shanghai from Beijing. The total * * * is about1300km.

If you choose to drive, it will take more than 15 hours.

If you choose to fly, the airport is far from the city center, so it takes 1 to 2 hours to get to the local airport.

It takes 1-2 hours to get to the city center from the destination airport. In addition, you need to go to the airport for security check-in one or two hours in advance.

The flight time is about 2 hours. The whole time is 2+2+2+2 = 8 hours.

If you choose the high-speed train, the train station is always located in the city center, which takes about 5 hours.

The advantages of high speed are:

1. Fast and flexible (if you can't catch the train, you can take the next one directly. If the time is not long, the ticket exchange is still free! ), there are not many things that can be done like airplanes.

2. Be punctual. There is basically no delay.

High-speed railway provides a new way of commuting for people who work in big cities and live in surrounding satellite cities.

For example, it only takes 17 minutes to get from Shenzhen to Humen.

The satellite city is near a big city. This layout makes education, work, medical care and other things fairer, and everyone can enjoy rich resources.

Moreover, no matter from which aspect, it can make the city better integrated.

If there is an opportunity, I suggest you try the domestic high-speed rail. Personal experience is always richer than rhetoric.

Don't praise our high-speed rail so much, we will be proud, although you are telling the truth, haha.

Let's look at the last netizen. He is the hometown of Andersen and has lived in China for many years. He said:

"I come from Denmark, a small country. Compared with the best train in our country, the China train is simply an alien technology. "

The acceleration and deceleration of China high-speed railway is very smooth. If I don't pay attention to the scenery outside the window, I can't even feel that I am driving at 300 kilometers per hour. I thought I had stopped at the station. I can't help jumping out of a physical state in my mind: "slippery"

Traveling back to Denmark by train, I found that only a few trains in Denmark can reach the highest speed-however, the highest speed is less than half that of China high-speed rail!

I don't need to look out the window to know that I'm moving forward. The train roared on the track at the speed of 150- 160 km per hour. Everything rattled and wobbled. However, this can't be entirely blamed on Danish trains … because they really tried their best!

Another interesting detail I came across was an announcement on the China high-speed rail:

"For safety reasons, we are currently driving at a lower speed. We apologize for your travel delay. "

Through the monitors at both ends of the car, I found that we really slowed down. 275 km/h (170 mph)!

I really think China high-speed rail is so cute!
