China High-Speed Rail - Chinese Bullet Train high-speed rail (HSR) HSR stands for High-Speed Rail. The Chinese high-speed train I took from Changsha to Wuhan runs at speeds over 300 kilometers per hour. The main route of China's high-speed rail starts from Guangzhou going north through Changsha, Wuhan, and then to the capital city Beijing. The total length of China's high-speed rail tracks today is nearly 1000
kilometers. China's high-speed rail has been in operation since 2007. The maximum speed in the specs I read on Wikipedia is 280 kilometers per hour. The high-speed rail stations I saw are designed like airports with security systems checking bags. Platforms are separated by gates as indicated on the ticket. Passengers wait in large waiting halls. There are upscale restaurants in the stations. Passengers on high-speed trains seem to be more affluent.
Unlike regular trains which are crowded and look like locals traveling to visit relatives in the countryside, high-speed rail stations feel like businesspeople going to meetings and students returning home for holidays. Onboard the Chinese high-speed trains, there are overhead racks for large luggage, so no need to check bags like on airplanes. There is a service staff selling coffee (not free), but they offer a free bottle of water in exchange for your ticket. During the trip, staff will check the condition of the luggage.
The female staff dressed like airline hostesses focus on checking items that might fall. The toilets on Chinese high-speed trains have well-designed pull-down seats and are clean and up to standard. Tickets for Chinese high-speed trains can be purchased at regular train stations, the high-speed rail stations themselves, or via automatic ticket vending machines at the high-speed rail stations. I think many Chinese prefer this method, queuing in long lines. There are many machines available.
Or you can book Chinese high-speed rail tickets through the website http://www.travelchinaguide.com/china-trains. My first experience on a Chinese bullet train was exciting; I thought it would be so fast that it would make my eyes dizzy looking outside. But the speed increases gradually so you don't feel pushed back into your seat. At the front of the train, there is a speed display showing numbers rising and falling to keep us entertained, along with the estimated time to the next station. After a short thrill, it feels like riding a regular train.
When I traveled from Changsha to Wuhan, there was snow falling and the white ground looked beautiful. mr.hotsia January 2013 China Railway High Speed in Shenzhen China High-Speed Rail ticket from Guangzhou to coffee on Railway High Speed Coffee on Chinese High-Speed Rail Guangzhou China Railway High Speed Changsha High-Speed Train Station Changsha High-Speed Railway High-Speed Bullet Train Chinese Bullet Train CRH train China High-Speed Rail
