Answer: Ray Comeau "high-speed rail is the best way to tour travel in China. ”

Has lived in China for 10 years

1. train station is located in the center of town, and airports, it won't take too much time to the train station you can

2. not many hours in advance, saving time.

3. the journey is very comfortable and you can walk back and forth on the train, there are plenty of toilets, and restaurant serving food and drink.

4. as long as you move, you can bring a lot of baggage.

5. short trip faster than a plane.

But it is not very good, which is not the same as airline reservation system, can book a different choice of seating on the plane from a to x-flight packages arrive at your destination. Looking forward to it after 10-15 for the better!

Answer two: Andy Beales "Chinese high-speed rail still serving coffee and Haagen-Dazs!"

Photographers; in China, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Guilin tourism

I used to ride from Guilin to Shenzhen's high speed rail, very surprised the car also serves coffee and Haagen-Dazs, although prices in the West, but if you want to be refreshing in the car this is a good thing.

First and second I have ever experienced, a difference of 60 Yuan, so I usually select a first-class seat, though I think the first was a waste. If you don't have to spend so much money in the UK. But lived in China for six years of experience tells me that with 60 Yuan for a quieter space values. But Gao Tieyi does not enjoy the plane "first-class lounges" or "priority boarding" and other additional benefits.

Car power outlet, tray table and on the plane, but the plane is not only ahead of the departure, and often late, high-speed rail is much better, the same one-hour trip, I'd rather sit rail sightseeing ...

But there is a drawback, that is, many only a few English stations, if there is any emergency situation (such as train delays) didn't speak too much English here you help. But I can speak Putonghua, so that shouldn't be a problem. You don't say it doesn't matter, you can use the software.

Answer three: Chris Edwards, "China's high-speed rail on time is a bit cruel......"

Australians teaching English in China

Too wonderful!

I twice rode from Shenzhen to Beijing's high speed rail, and numerous trips to and from Shenzhen. There might be some people ask: "how crazy this man will spend a whole day by train across the country?" I know exactly what I'm doing.

My reasons are as follows:

Competitive price: the same price (about 1400) I can sit on the high-speed first-class seats, but only in economy class on the plane, this too, please.

Time factor: this is the most important reason. Anyone who has travelled on a domestic flight in China should be aware that the airspace close to 70% military, the remaining 30% is civil. This means that flights are often delayed and cancelled. Not to mention the weather, it is likely to let the plane can't take off (Beijing smog, fog or snow, Typhoon or rainstorm in Shenzhen). Cruelty of high-speed rail on time--you are likely in the case of one minute late, watching the train.

In addition, you have to count your waiting time. I was told: If by rail, from Shenzhen to Beijing (including from my house to the train station and parts, ending in Beijing) spend 10.5 hours. If you go by plane, I had an hour earlier at the airport, waiting for two hours, three-hour flight, landing in an hour, and then sit for at least an hour on the subway to get to the place I often go to in Beijing (a total of at least 8 hours). It also assumes that there is no delay (very unlikely), so the difference between the two is almost negligible.

Comfort: high-speed rail comfortable, first-class seat more comfortable. Last time I got a long-distance high-speed trains (about 8 hours from Beijing to Shenzhen) I took a power strip, not only to my own devices, but also let the guy next to me to charge his iPhone.

Views: Yes, 315 kilometers per hour under the speed, you can see the scenery is much better than the rest of the world. Of course, there are times when you will go through the tunnel, but it depends on the terrain.

Beds: Beijing/Shanghai/Guangzhou and in Shenzhen overnight sleeper trains between, you can spend about 1200 RMB to buy soft sleeper from North to South. It means that people do not need with flight and hotel booked, these sleeper train ticket so popular.

High-speed rail is great ... ... I look forward to Shenzhen to Kowloon rail completed, this will allow me to journey down to 15 minutes in Hong Kong.

People love their contrast of some things and other people, in this round of PK, high-speed rail in China with "other children" attitude won most of the foreigners of appreciation!

Answer: Adam Richards "sat in a spacious seat, simply thought they had lost weight!"

Political science at New York University; since 2011 live in China

Perhaps from the fare, you think by rail rather than by plane. But the plane needed one hour ahead of the departure, while high-speed train if you arrive ten minutes early, so look save a lot of time.

When you sit on the seat and you will see where you can stretch your legs, even up through the passenger will not be around to bother them, just think yourself thin!

Train ride, China countryside Flash by through the window, as if a sense of time and space. Walked up and down in a wide channel, seemed to have a better blood circulation. If you want to stop long stop smoking a cigarette, you will find that your fellow passengers is a lot, surrounded by crowds.

Then you realize: the original infrastructure in North America has been far behind China.

Answer two: Roger GilmartinConsultant "high-speed rail to refresh my mind!"

Born in California and has lived in Canada, the UK, Japan and China

I will always support China railway! whether it is high-speed rail or light rail, I like it!

I used to travel by rail to complete a Beijing to XI ' an, this experience was refreshing my knowledge!

Too fast! fine! seats and leg room are very spacious! can't wait to sit the second!

Let me think about it: I was very surprised, why it could not do so, the railway extended!

Haha, this exclamation point or you enough ~

However, the "other children" is not perfect, for China following the two friends put forward some proposals for high-speed rail development.

Answer: b Ciel Qu é é Cois "Chinese call sounds a bit big on the car"

Live in Paris, France 10, now living in South Korea and China

I regularly take the Gao Tieyi, and from Shanghai HongQiao and Nanjing South railway station (the company).

Actually, I don't mind sitting second, Chinese train second-class quality than the plane has more leg room in economy class.

But I think the second high-speed rail in China than Europe, like the French TGV or the Korean KTX or ICE in Germany, Europe's high speed rail two-seat layout is 2+2 rather than 2+3, China, wider. The first-class seat as the layout is 2+2, seat spacious and sturdy, chair covers are usually red.

But one thing to note is that Chinese are used to loud conversations, especially when I called, they may not be aware that this will cause distress to others.

Answer two: Stephen Thompson, "Shanghai Maglev outage time too early"

University of London graduate who lived in China for 10 years

I would like to talk about my experience at Shanghai Maglev.

No ride the Maglev if you're like me, then you got so excited. At its peak, it can reach speeds of 430 kilometers per hour, visitors can enjoy the sense of self at high speed. But the process is very short, only 4 minutes, because the distance to the airport is 30 km from Shanghai. When you're feeling when you pan around a bit, it means that the journey was over.

But some ointment, such as chair covers don't seem so right, a little wrong with those signs in English.

But the biggest problem is that he has no direct access to the city centre, you must change at longyang road and then take a taxi or the subway.

The Shanghai maglev train

Meanwhile, it stopped running after nine o'clock at night, off-peak time will not run at full speed. Every train interval of 15 minutes, after 7 o'clock in the evening every 20 minutes, it really is not frequent enough.

Someone once told me, to build Maglev took sky-high, and Shanghai has repeatedly trimmed its own subway system. I don't know if it's true, but I think this case, closed up more than nine o'clock in the evening, it is not economic.

Sit Maglev to spend 50 Yuan, while exciting for a tourist like me, but airport bus is much more affordable for poor people.

Obviously, this masters had begun to posture focused on China's long-term development.

In addition to speed, seat comfort, save time, these advantages foreign friends and admiration outside, warm and friendly people also left a deep impression on their rail journey.

Answer: Pablo Djankowicz Ruizinowitz "than the Shinkansen in Japan is much more comfortable!"

Graduated from Cornell University and has lived in China, Chinese history has a strong interest

It feels fantastic! better than Japan's Shinkansen (I've been) much more comfortable.

But I was most impressed, not high-speed rail, but migrant workers rode with on the train.

>

A trip to Hong Kong (from Beijing), because I wanted to save money, decided not to fly, ready to use the Chinese try to go by train to Hong Kong.

I forgot how to get tickets, as if a Chinese friend helped me buy online. Because the Chinese language is so poor and ashamed to ask a friend to help, I read the guides went to the train station. A huge atrium with hundreds of people waiting, I think I should be the only foreigner. I looked around trying to find a Western face, I finally found it!

I got in the car, I was shocked. It is tens of thousands times better than I expected, to be honest, I thought it would be like Thailand and Egypt that commuters train, train in India or the photos. But I found it more than the people, chairs very comfortable, much better than American middle-class commuter train. Here you can buy the cheapest ticket is generally of poorer people in China. Now I know why position is so high in the Communist Party of China in the eyes of ordinary people--because of these things!

Indian trains

I had a trip on the train one day and one night to meet a friend, although we do not speak the language, but can communicate by writing Chinese characters in the book. He also invited me to eat duck and his friends, on my trip to China in a period of a few months is one of my most precious memories.

The near future, China railway experience will become China's special tourism lines, tourism projects are readily available, for example, "9 minutes window state coin challenge", "right to brew a bowl train of instant noodles", "using the self-service machines high-speed rail tickets are independent" ... ...

外国网友谈中国高铁体验:比日本新干线舒服多了|高铁|新干线|外国网友_新闻资讯

　　2015年中国高铁一出“硬币不倒”的绝技惊呆了一位外国小伙，他将视频发布在了社交媒体上后，一大波被震惊的歪果仁纷纷慕名前往中国体验高铁之旅。那么，这些外国小伙伴的用户体验如何呢?

　　有网友替我们在美国知名问答平台Quora上提问了。

　　截图

　　于是乎，一大波中国高铁粉丝赶来，开始花样赞美中国高铁。

　　每每提到高铁，飞机总被拉出来嘲讽。

　　下面这几位回答者全方位多角度地将二者做了对比，结果，在中国高铁面前飞机完败。

　　回答一：Ray Comeau “高铁是中国最好的旅游出行方式。”

　　曾在中国生活10年

　　1.火车站位于中心城区，所以和机场相比，花不了太多时间你就能到火车站

　　2.不用提前好几个小时候车，节省时间。

　　3.旅途非常舒适，你可以在火车上来回走动，也有很多厕所，还有供应食物和饮料的餐厅。

　　4.只要你背的动，你可以带很多行李。

　　5.短途旅行比飞机还快。

　　不过有一点不太好，目前它还不能像航班订票系统一样，可以预定不同飞机上的座位选择从A到X不同的航班套餐到达你的目的地。期待它十到十五年后变得更好!

　　回答二：Andy Beales “中国高铁上竟然还供应咖啡和哈根达斯!”

　　摄影师;曾在中国上海、香港、桂林等地旅游

　　我曾经乘坐从桂林到深圳的高铁，非常惊讶车上竟然还供应咖啡和哈根达斯，虽然是西方的价格，但如果你想在车上提神醒脑这绝对是好东西。

　　一等座和二等座我都曾经体验过，二者相差60元，所以我一般选择一等座，虽然我认为一等座有点浪费。如果在英国用不着花这么多钱。不过在中国住了六年的经验告诉我，用60元换一个更安静的空间很值。但高铁一等座并不享受飞机中“头等舱候机室”或“优先登机”等额外福利。

　　车上有电源插座，小桌板和飞机上的一样，但飞机不仅要求提前候机，还经常晚点，高铁好多了，同样一个小时的旅途，我更愿意坐着高铁欣赏沿途风光。。

　　不过这里也有一个缺点，那就是许多车站只有几个英文标识，如果有什么突发状况(比如列车延迟)这儿没太多会讲英语的人为你提供帮助。不过我会说普通话，所以这不成问题。你不会说也没关系，你可以使用翻译软件。

　　回答三：Chris Edwards “中国高铁真是准时的有点残忍……”

　　在中国教英语的澳洲人

　　太棒啦!

　　我曾经两次乘坐深圳到北京的高铁，以及多次往返深圳的短途旅行。可能会有些人问：“这人有多疯狂才会花费一整天的时间坐火车横穿整个国家?”我很清楚自己在做什么。

　　以下是我的理由：

　　价格竞争力：同样的价钱(大约1400元)我可以在高铁上坐一等座，但只能在飞机上坐经济舱，这太值了好吗。

　　时间因素：这是最重要的原因。任何在中国坐过国内航班的人都应该知道，接近70%的空域是军用，剩下的30%才是民用的。这意味着航班经常延误和取消。更不要说天气问题，这很可能让飞机根本没法起飞(北京的雾霾，雾或者下雪，深圳的台风或暴雨)。而高铁残忍的准时——你很有可能在迟到一分钟的情况下，眼睁睁的看着火车开走。

　　此外，你还要算算你的候机时间。我曾经算过：如果坐高铁，从深圳到北京(包括从我家到火车站和在北京收尾的部分)要花10.5个小时。如果坐飞机的话，我得提前一小时到机场，两小时候机，三小时飞行，一小时降落，再坐上至少一个小时地铁才能到我在北京经常去的地方(共计至少8小时)。这还是假设完全没有延迟的情况(非常不可能)，所以二者的区别几乎可以忽略不计。

　　舒适：高铁特别舒服，一等座更舒服。上次我坐长途高铁的时候(从北京到深圳大概8小时)我带了一个插线板，不仅给我自己的设备充电，还能让我旁边的家伙给他的iPhone充电呢。

　　景色：是的，在每小时315公里的时速下，你能看到比世界其他地方好得多的景色。当然有些时候你会穿过隧道，但这要看地形如何。

　　床：在深圳/广州和北京/上海之间有隔夜的卧铺列车，你可以花大约1200人民币买到从北到南的软卧。这意味着人们不需要航班和酒店一起订，这些卧铺列车在售票时异常火爆。

　　所以高铁实在太棒了……我期待深圳到九龙高铁的建成，这会让我去香港的旅程减到15分钟。

　　人们总爱拿自己有的东西和别人的对比，在这一轮PK中，中国高铁以“别人家孩子”的姿态赢取了大多外国人的赞赏!

　　回答一：Adam Richards “坐在宽敞的座位上，简直以为自己变瘦了!”

　　纽约大学政治学;2011年至今住在中国

　　或许从票价看，你觉得坐高铁还不如坐飞机。但是飞机需要提前一小时候机，而高铁你只要提前十分钟到达就行，这样看起来是不是节省了大量时间。

　　当你坐在座位上，你会发现在这里你可以自由伸展你的腿，即使起身要穿过身边乘客也完全不会打扰到他们，简直以为自己变瘦了!

　　列车飞驰，窗外中国的乡村风光一闪而过，仿佛有时空交错的感觉。在宽敞的通道中走来走去，仿佛血液循环都更好了。如果想在停靠时间较长的车站下车抽个烟，你会发现和你同行的乘客其实很多，周围人头攒动。

　　于是你恍然大悟：原来北美的基础设施建设已经被中国远远甩在身后。

　　回答二：Roger GilmartinConsultant “中国高铁刷新了我的认知!”

　　生于美国加利福尼亚州;曾在加拿大、英国、日本和中国生活

　　我永远支持中国铁路!不管是城市轻轨还是高铁，我都喜欢!

　　我曾经坐高铁完成了一次北京到西安的旅行，这经历简直刷新我认知!

　　太快了!非常顺畅!座椅和腿部空间都很宽敞!等不及要坐第二次啦!

　　下面让我思考一下：我很奇怪，为什么美国不能做到这样，把铁路延伸一下!

　　哈哈，这位网友你的感叹号要不够用啦~

　　不过，“别人家孩子”也不是十全十美，下面这两位朋友就为中国高铁发展提出了一些自己的建议。

　　回答一：Ciel Québécois “车上的中国人打电话声音有点大”

　　曾在法国巴黎生活10年，如今生活在韩国和中国

　　我定期会乘坐高铁一等座往返上海虹桥和南京南站(公司报销)。

　　其实我不介意坐二等座，实际上中国动车二等座比飞机上的优质经济舱有更大的腿部空间。

　　但我觉得中国高铁的二等座不如欧洲，比如法国TGV或者韩版KTX或者德国的ICE，欧洲高铁二等座布局是2+2而非中国的2+3，更宽一些。一等座的作为布局是2+2，座椅宽敞结实，椅套一般是红色。

　　但有一点需要注意，中国人习惯大声交谈，尤其是打电话的时候，他们也许没意识到这会对他人造成困扰。

　　回答二：Stephen Thompson “上海磁悬浮停运时间太早了”

　　伦敦大学毕业;曾在中国生活10年

　　我要讲一下我在上海坐磁悬浮的经历。

　　如果你和我一样没有坐过磁悬浮，那么你一上车就会特别兴奋。高峰时，它的时速可达430公里/小时，游客可以尽情享受在高速下自拍的感觉。但是这个过程很短暂，只有4分钟，因为上海到机场的路程也就30公里。当你感觉它晃了一下时，这意味着旅途结束了。

　　但是还是有些美中不足，比如椅套好像不那么合适，那些英文指示牌也有点不对。

　　但最大的问题是他没有直达市中心，你必须在龙阳路再打车或换乘地铁。

　　上海磁悬浮列车

　　同时，它在晚上九点后就停止运行了，非高峰时也不会全速运行。每趟列车间隔15分钟，晚上7点之后间隔20分，这真的还不够频繁。

　　有人曾跟我说，打造磁悬浮花了天价，为此上海也多次修整自己的地铁系统。我不知道是不是真的，但我觉得现在这个情况，晚上九点多就关闭了，一点也不经济。

　　坐一次磁悬浮要花50元，虽然对于我这样一个游客来说让人兴奋，但对于贫穷的人来说可能机场大巴更实惠。

　　显然，这位网友已经开始以主人翁的姿态在关注中国高铁长远发展了。

　　除了速度快、座椅舒适、节省时间这些硬件优势让外国朋友赞叹外，热情友好的中国人也在他们的铁路旅途中留下了深刻的印象。

　　回答一：Pablo Djankowicz Ruizinowitz “比日本的新干线舒服多了!”

　　毕业于康奈尔大学;曾住在中国，对中国历史有浓厚兴趣

　　那感觉棒极了!比日本的新干线(我曾经坐过)舒服多了。

　　不过让我印象最深刻的，不是高铁而是农民工们经常坐的普通列车。

>

　　有一次去香港旅行(从北京出发)，因为想省点钱，所以决定不坐飞机，准备用自己的那点儿中文试试坐火车去香港。

　　我都忘了自己是怎么买到票的了，好像是一个中国朋友帮我在网上买的。因为中文太烂又不好意思请朋友帮忙，我自己读着指南去了火车站。一个巨大的中庭里有上百人在候车，我想我应该是唯一的外国人。我环顾四周想找一张西方面孔，终于找到了!

　　等我上了车，我震惊了。它比我想象中的好上万倍，老实说，我还以为它会像泰国和埃及那种上班族坐的火车一样，或者是照片里印度的那种火车。但我发现它比那些先进多了，椅子很舒适，也比美国中产通勤那种火车好多了。这可是你能买到的最廉价的车票，一般是中国比较贫穷的人才坐的。现在我终于知道为什么中国共产党在普通人心目中地位那么高了——因为有这些东西!

　　印度火车

　　我曾经在一趟一天一夜的火车上认识了一个朋友，虽然我们语言不通，但可以通过在本子上写汉字交流。他还邀请我和他的朋友一起吃鸭肉了，这在我为期几月的中国之行中是我最珍贵的回忆之一。

　　看来不久的将来，中国铁路体验也将成为中国特色旅游线路了，旅游项目都是现成的，比如，“窗边立硬币9分钟挑战”，“正确地冲泡一碗火车方便面”，“使用自助机器独立购买高铁票”……
