I took China's newest high-speed sleeper train to get from Shenzhen to Shanghai! The G900 high-speed train was only launched mid-2024 and is racing across China at up to 350 km/h (217 mph). It is the perfect way to skip the airport and experience China's latest advanced train firsthand, so of course I had to try it out for myself and WOW this train in Today, I rode the high-speed sleeper train from Shenzhen to Shanghai. Starting October 1st, the sleeper trains between Hong Kong West Kowloon Station and Beijing West Station, as well as those between Hong Kong West Kowloon Station and Shanghai Hongqiao Station, had been upgraded to the "Fuxing" smart sleeper trains. This marks China's first sleeper service at a maximum speed of 350 km/h (217.48 mph) and the world's first high-speed sleeper train. Let's see what the experience of riding this brand-new train is like!

Boarding the G900 in Shenzhen

Rita Loves Travel takes the G900 high-speed sleeper train from Shenzhen to Shanghai. She begins at Shenzhen’s large railway station, which she compares to an airport, and documents the passport check and organized boarding process. Rita tries to change her assigned bunk but does not manage to do so. Before boarding, she gets a quick McDonald’s dinner. The cabin accommodates four passengers and feels spacious to her, with comfortable beds, storage, individual lighting, charging ports, a glass holder, a hanger, a kettle and even a small plant.

Rita receives a welcome snack box and an amenity bag with a toothbrush, toothpaste and a compressed towel. She notes that the train provides gifts and practical items that contribute to the overnight journey. Her cabin review focuses on the layout and the many small features available to passengers. The train’s quiet atmosphere and the organized boarding stand out as she settles in.

Rita explores the common areas, including a kitchen and lounge with microwaves, drinks and seating. She also looks at the toilets, which include both Western and squat options, hot and cold water dispensers and paper seat covers. The train offers hot and cold water for instant noodles or tea.
