Taking a high speed train in China is an enjoyable experience for me. I would rather take a train than wait for hours in an airport if I travel from Beijing to Shanghai. Trains are always on time, whereas flights are often delayed. Sitting on a high speed train is comfortable even if it’s a second class wagon. You feel much cozier on your seat and have some snacks. Plus, it is great to know that China's Fuxing high speed train has lifted the speed of the high-speed train to 350 kilometers per hour.
