Anyone who's actually ever compared flying and taking high-speed trains in China will take the train any day over flying between Beijing and Shanghai. The train is faster, cheaper and more comfortable.
- dewey 7y agoJust took the Shanghai Beijing train a few days ago and it was fantastic. Comfortable seats, lots of space, good bathrooms, lots of food and drinks to buy and delivered to your seat if you order with WeChat by scanning a QR code on your seat. Way better than going through an airport - and I love flying.
- DiogenesKynikos 7y agoDid the bathrooms have soap and toilet paper? It always amazes me how Chinese facilities can be so great, but then lack these two essentials. Chinese trains are usually BYOS/TP.
- dewey 7y agoThey did. Sometimes they don’t have it on train stations but there’s either a dispenser outside of the stalls or a store selling tissues right next to the counter.
