Your China & Yunnan Travel Experts
China has built a high-speed passenger rail network in recent years and will continue to expand rapidly. By the end of 2017, China's railway mileage reached 127,000 kilometers, of which 25,000 km are high-speed rail, accounted for 66.3% of the world's total high-speed, which made China's high-speed system the world's largest high-speed network.
China's high-speed trains are similar to those of France's TGV, Germany's ICE and Japan's Shinkansen. The fast trains with a top speed of 250 – 350km/h are called CRH, China Railway High-speed.
If you want to travel around China, the high-speed trains will be your ideal vehicle since they are clean, comfortable and modern. Unlike the conventional trains in China, no smoking is allowed on high-speed trains, not even between carriages.
The seats are as good as that on the plane or even better. Most high-speed rail tickets have corresponding seats, and only a small number of standing tickets are sometimes sold on limited trains. There's never a mad crowd with numerous people sitting in the aisles as well as in seats.
The ticket prices for china high-speed trains are reasonable and, on most routes, the frequency of departure is very high, so people can buy tickets conveniently.

Practical answers for using China High-speed Train Guide.
Use this hub to compare rail routes, station choices, ticket classes, luggage and transfers. Start with the article or section closest to when rail is more practical than flying and which stations fit your hotels, not every item on the page.
Begin with the decision that could change your route, timing or suitability. Read background material after the essential location, season and access questions are clear.
Recheck timetables, ticket release, passport rules, train numbers and station access close to booking and travel. The page supports planning but does not replace official, medical or supplier confirmation where required.
Choose a small set of priority experiences, group them by gateway and allow for transfers, meals and rest. Keep a lower-priority stop optional.
Confirm dates, inclusions, cancellation terms, identity details, physical requirements and the exact service provider. Save the final confirmation for offline access.
Check walking, steps, altitude, weather exposure, toilets, vehicle access and assistance for each selected place or activity. Broad labels are not enough.
Check dates, geographic scope and source quality, and separate editorial opinion from operating facts. Use current primary notices for regulated decisions.
Yes. Share your dates, gateways, interests and pace, and YunSky Travel can check current conditions and turn the relevant choices into a coherent itinerary.
