Despite the option of traveling by car or plane, train travel has its own unique appeal. If the journey transforms into a luxurious experience, the pleasure is doubled. Recently, one of the travel influencers demonstrated the impressive sights inside China's famous high-speed train, which might surprise people as it is difficult to distinguish it from an elite hotel.
Video of Chinese high-speed train goes viral
In this viral video, a woman showed the entire business class interior of a high-speed train in China. This trip offers comfort thanks to wide seats, personal space, and wireless charging. The business lounge also looks very presentable.
Amenities in the business lounge
The video begins with the business class at the railway station, where many amenities are provided for passengers. Additionally, small transmitters (beepers) are placed on tables in the lounge for waiting passengers, notifying them of the boarding time, thus eliminating the need for passengers to constantly check screens or worry about missing the train.
No long queues for boarding
A special feature of this luxury train is that, unlike the situation in India where one has to stand in a long queue to board the train, here passengers do not need to line up like in a regular carriage. In the video, the woman shows how an accompanying woman helps her get to the train calmly without requiring a long wait.
Seats that turn into a bed
After entering the business class, passengers note a significant difference compared to ordinary trains. The seats here are quite wide and designed so that passengers can sit comfortably and stretch out their legs. Most notably, the seat can be reclined, transforming it into a bed, which is a great convenience for long journeys.
Wireless charging near the seat
Each seat has a separate table equipped with a wireless charging panel where a phone can be placed. There is also a small storage area for luggage and a service or reading guide. This allows the passenger not to worry about storing belongings and necessary items during the trip.
From food to toilet—special amenities
For those traveling in business class, free snacks and drinks are provided. The woman also showed the toilet on the train, which looked very clean. She noted that the impression of the toilet was absolutely like being in a hotel because toiletries, such as facial refresher and hand cream, were provided.
Ticket cost is about 5 thousand rupees
At the end of the video, the woman stated that she spent about 5000 rupees on a business class ticket. Although this price is higher than a regular ticket, passengers receive more space, privacy, and comfort in return. China has created one of the world's largest high-speed rail networks, and this business class experience demonstrates that great attention is paid to making long train journeys comfortable and luxurious, rather than just a way to move quickly from one point to another.
