Riding China’s High-Speed Trains – Fast, Comfy, and Scenic (If You’re Quick!)

I took two high-speed trains in China, and I have to say—it’s a great way to travel the country. The first ride was at night, so I couldn’t see much, but the second one, between Xi’an and Chengdu, gave me a whole new perspective. The train cut through mountains, valleys, villages... The views were stunning—but blink and you might miss them! If you want pictures, be fast, because the landscape flies by at 300 km/h. The service onboard is smooth, seats are comfy, and the trains run on time. It’s a stress-free alternative to flying, especially with how intense airport security can be. Whether you're zipping across provinces or just avoiding long bus rides, high-speed trains in China are definitely the way to go. #discoverchina
