This China travel vlog follows ZingwiBrothers as they embark on their first high-speed train journey from Shanghai to Beijing. The video begins at Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station, described as massive and modern, almost resembling an airport with numerous shops. ZingwiBrothers highlight the surprisingly easy check-in process, involving only passport scans, a stark contrast to their expectations.
The sheer scale of the station is emphasized, with thousands of people and dozens of high-speed trains departing daily for Beijing. Aboard the train, they marvel at the efficient and comfortable seating arrangement, akin to an airplane's layout, complete with storage space and coat hangers. Despite the high price tag (around $82), they find the speed and convenience of the train to be worthwhile, especially compared to the longer and more expensive airplane option.
However, ordering food on the train proves challenging due to the app-based system, which requires a Chinese phone number. They manage to purchase drinks and noodles from the onboard service, describing the noodles as surprisingly delicious. The journey itself is described as smooth and fast, averaging 270 kilometers per hour.
Upon arrival in Beijing, they again note the efficiency of the station, with clear signage and orderly passenger flow. Their experience concludes with a brief subway ride to their hotel and a celebratory birthday dinner featuring a delicious hot pot meal. Throughout their journey, ZingwiBrothers showcase their interactions with locals, highlighting the helpfulness and friendliness they encountered. Their video offers a unique perspective on China's high-speed rail system, combining practical information with personal anecdotes and vivid descriptions, making it an engaging and informative watch for potential travelers.
