A high speed train station in China is just like an airport. The amount of people riding the train is a lot more then by the plane.
Very good advice!
@@VeggiesOnTour Sydney to Melbourne 2x more Far in Distance than Beijing to Shanghai but takes 12,5 hours n noisy old train,
in China u can order Starbucks or Kfc or Fried Rice in App n Deliver Next Station

Treat Chinese train stations like airports and arrive an hour or more before departure time.
Good advice 👏🏻
Airplanes are not so punctual
上海站的规模比上海虹桥火车站小，它位于市中心，是老火车站改造的。所以人流就比较拥挤了。要是买的虹桥站的票半个小时就够了。
Trains stations are in the middle of the city
Considering the language barrier, it is recommended that foreigners arrive at the high-speed rail station 40 minutes to 1 hour in advance, otherwise they may miss the train. China's high-speed rail is very punctual.
Smoking is a bad habit of many Chinese people, but it is slowly improving. Many snacks are dried tofu products, but the taste is different. The strip snacks are spicy strips, made of flour.
For long rides on the high-speed rail, you can use the APP to order takeout (not train food, but provided by restaurants in the next city. There will be a QR code on the seat. You can scan it to order food, and it will be delivered to the high-speed rail after the next stop)
Great advice! Unfortunately some Chinese apps fail to work on our iPhones, not sure why so maybe can’t order the food - but still great! 👏🏻🇨🇳
别反思了，
Smoking is a bad habit of many Chinese people,---bullshit，别胡说八道！
@@huiyu5518 这有什么不能说的吗？学阿三那样？错了不认也不改？中国人的吸烟率确实是比欧美高，别跟我杠，我自己就吸烟，并不是什么好事
@@kaka66600 事实就得认，什么时候中国人连事实都怕认了？学阿三那样？又或者你觉得吸烟真的是好事？
That machine on the wall next to your window is a independent purfiying system which sucks in air outside the room and purify it through multiple filter.
Oooh - interesting that, never seen one! 😂
@@VeggiesOnTour This train station is Shanghai's old train station, while Hongqiao Railway Station is newer. So this train station is a bit chaotic and crowded.
@@haowilliam4346agree. I’ve been there. A lot of people there.
because now is summer vacation, lots of people a travel around with their children and Beijing is a hot city to visit, enjoy your trip, welcome from Beijing.
Welcome to Beijing. You have a beautiful lady ❤️
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

It's a universal principle that all vlogs in China will turn into a mukbang, even on a train😂
😂😂😂
The box in the hotel room was a "hanky panky" box 😂 condoms, oils and xxx toys. Usual in cheaper hotels or love hotels in China. Scan the QR wechat or alipay, pay for the item you want and the little door opens for the product you bought. Not that I've ever used it....
This must be one of them cheap hotel to get sexy time with your mistress.
I’ve been to some hotels in China and they only have 1-2 boxes of condom near the coffee/tea area and they do charge. They have a list of items with the prices
beside.
Eeww please respect come on, stick to pg family 😌 please thanks
我非常喜欢视频中的两人，祝愿他们在中国度过愉快的时光，来自中国朋友
谢谢，你人真好。我们在中国玩得很开心！
Like your video a lot. Hope you have a good time in Beijing. BTW, in summer season, one of the most popular cities in China is Harbin, located at north eastern China. It is very comfortable there right now. Very beautiful city, nice weather, warm hearted people, delicious food and cool temperature around 28-ish during the day.
Would’ve loved to check out Harbin! Next time 💯🙏🏻
You might need to scan that QR code and pay in order to open that box. That's my guess.
Many TH-camrs are always surprised how crowded China train stations… China has a lot of people
Nah... For the past few years western media have been showing empty train stations and telling the world what a black hole the HSR have been.
No one's supposed to be riding it, no one can afford the tickets since the China man makes 500 usd a year. And the governments building it for show.
Probably stressful for first time HSR travellers :D Don't worry. For next time - as long as you pass the ticket gate you will be fine. They must ensure everyone gets on before it leaves the station, and 99% of the time, it leaves on time too.
Edit: Have to add that 27:00 you are looking at a mini condom and sex toy vending box. You scan the code and pay, then the lock is released. :D
Too bad, can't use cash for the vending box
Your girlfriend is beautiful!...It is understandable that you will be shocked when you see so many people riding the high-speed train for the first time.There are a few reasons why western countries the governments don't want their citizens to visit China.
1st to see all the Chinese super infrastructures.
2nd how China is able to keep the public areas so clean, green and organized.
3th why China is so safe even for foreigners.
4th China has too many people, but the government has solved the problem of the number of high-speed rails. China's high-speed rail is the first in the world, with 42,000 kilometers.
Thats what makeup are for
I think I can give you a nickname, the Tofu Couple. I strongly suggest you find a local or ask the hotel staff to recommend a vegetarian restaurant to you. As a Chinese, it is really hard to bear to see you eat tofu as your staple food.
你这发言真的没什么礼貌，别把玩梗那套带出来丢人。如果你想表现友好至少也学习了解下。
@@Antinonsens 我不是很明白你说的意思，怎么丢人了？我需要学习了解什么？你以为我是随便给他们起了个名字？你有看过他们上一个视频吗？上一个视频他们几乎都是以豆腐为主食，这次在高铁上又是吃了那么多豆制品
I like the part you guys testing the Chinese snack😋yumyum
With 1.41 billion people, China does need gigantic railway stations.
Very true!
Train distance between Shanghai & Bejing is 1,318 kilometers (819 miles).
The tickets are cheap actually considering the distance between these two cities over 1000 km.
True 🙏
Exactly this. Train tickets in the UK are super expensive and the trains are not nice at all. So I'm surprised he said that tickets in China are not cheap 🤯
Glad your luggages still there after 4 hrs. But not surprised, coz it's not UK!
@@BobbyVasquezJr this was a laugh out loud! 😂 so true
Shanghai Railway Station was built pretty early. Waiting room 5 is reminicent of the early generation train stations. To accommodate the high speed trains and new lines, it went through some renovations, but still not as optimized as the new stations in terms of the boarding process. Currently it's going through another round of renovation and adjustment.
Safe, clean and orderly.
Yes for all, although sometimes a little bit chaotic 😂
@@VeggiesOnTourCoz July,August is summer holiday season for students in China,so there will be lots and lots of families go on holiday with their children
@@VeggiesOnTourOnly 20 minutes in advance for boarding is hurried.
@@vodkabunny高考中考刚刚结束，这些毕业生才是当前旅游主力😅
@@VeggiesOnTour It is because you're not familiar with it. There are certain rules for dealing with it.
Enjoyed your vlog, and expecting more. thank you for sharing your experience. By the way, eating all the way🤭
Always! Haha!
Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾
🙏🏻🙏🏻🇲🇾
Every headline from travelers to China is stressful. How about the usual "Not what I expected". And the infamous "Shocked traveling to China".
Exactly. Quite annoying.
A way to attract traffic, otherwise your traffic will be limited
Look out for videos with “detained”, “surveillance”, “watched” 😂
Clickbait
Haha, yeah I HATE these titles as they’re never true. Unfortunately when people are genuine, it sounds ingenuine because of all the clickbaiters.
We nearly missed our train, we’ve never experienced so many people in our life going for a train - surely makes sense that it is stressful? 😂
Re; other titles, China isn’t discussed in Europe, we almost know nothing about it. There isn’t much online, except for silly bloggers making silly faces and acting like they’re shocked - which we don’t even watch. 😅👏🏻
The gate to the platforms open 20 minutes before departure. So you were quite late. Go early, take a coffee and enjoy the airconditioning.
Everyone was queuing - it takes a while because the queue was huge! But yes youre right! 👏🏻
That was a very creative way to describe the little box.....hanky panky box! Boy, did I have a good laugh over that! 🤣
😂😂😂
The distance from Shanghai to Beijing is about 800 miles, not 800 kilometers
Cheers!!
You should take the NY city metro or Paris, London metro. You will not be disappointed in actions.
@@lifeisgood141 Haha you are actually American media's fan
There is no need to use WIFI on China's high-speed rail, 5G or 4G is always maintained
If you know 20% of the language, it will resolve about 80% of the problems.
You just went through the most uncomfortable rainy season in Shanghai, and now you're here to experience the hottest season in Beijing.😅😅😅
😂 perfect timing!
That yogurt/milky water, カルピス /Calpis, is actually a brand that belongs to a Japanese company. This drink is also popular in Japan. Possibly you western people won't favor it, but I like it.
It was delicious! We bought it again 😂
@@VeggiesOnTourMalaysia has Calpis too,lots of different flavours
You can order food via scanning the qr code on your chair. Basically everything you can order, kfc, McDonald's, Starbucks, Or multiple Chinese food options. The food will be delivered to you directly.
Wooah! That's so good!
你那个酒店应该可以语音控制灯光空调，电视，还有窗帘，只是你不会用
可以要求客房服務人員教一下的
27:00 This locked little box contains some sex toys for self comfort, which I think you guys don't need at all🤣 Enjoy you trip in Beijing.
Hahaha 🤣
Maybe the fastest train to heaven or if driver fall asleep 😂clean and order is absolutely correct! ！
you had very bad heart to said this thing to the people
欢迎来到中国，祝你们玩得开心❤
谢谢！我们很喜欢在中国的时光！
Try New York, London, Paris subways and metros. They are perfect, Clean, on time, spacious, and most importantly, safe.
新鲜热乎
As smoking is prohibited on high-speed trains, it is not entirely without benefits, and tobacco taxes contribute to national defense
👍👍👍💝💃🕺🎊🇨🇳💪
Were you in Shanghai station? Going to Beijing better take Shanghai Hongqiao station, bigger space and easier.
Many consumable items in the room are not free, each will be extra charge when you consume it, is better to buy at nearby convinient store with cheaper price. You have a beautyful female partner, so don't have to open the "hanky panky box", the box is for lonely single male for fizikal body needs.
The first three snacks you tasted in the train should be called -豆乾( in Chinese ), just with different flavors . because you know nothing about Chinese food, so, you should find a local people to explain to you about that. but still thank you for your video.
something about brits and trains lol, there's always some drama. last brit couple and train episode I saw, they barely made it by seconds 🤣. chinese trains are almost never late, not even by a minute 😆
Loool - it's very true
你们去的火车站是上海最老的火车站，设备差，环境不佳。这里都是慢速的绿皮车，高铁比较少，所以人多嘈杂体验没有虹桥火车站好。虹桥火车站的火车都是高速火车，车票价钱高设备好，空间大，自然就显得不拥挤，体验也好。
you can control the room,use your voice,just like "shall do shall do",you will hear the answer if you speak the right order
sorry,poor english
The spicy snack you eat on the high-speed train is called la tiao(辣条)，it is quite popular in China. the snacks before “la tiao” are all dried tofu(豆干), but they have different flavors
The red box in the hotel is filled with sex toys, you have a girl friend, so I guess you don't need it.
La tiao nutrition not good, but good in snack.
So, you guys don’t eat fish, eggs, dairy. Just grass?
那个橙色的箱子里面装的是要付费的情趣用品，我看到了男性用的飞机杯哈哈😂😂 28:20
I am amuse by the way you are suspicious about the "hanky panky box". I came across in some countries, there are first aid kit medical box in the hotel for emergency use but for this one, the colour of the box itself tells you what will be the first aid content inside it. Just scan the QR code and pay it if anyone need the content during an emergency.
Haha Kenny you know it! Never seen one before, just funny to see it in the room! Hope you're keeping well btw!
Yes, you are right, the British never see many people like this in the train station
It’s true! 😂😅
那个 app 只有安卓版本，所以你得苹果手机点击没有反应😂😂😂
gg How's your holiday omg 😊❤❤ I'm so jel enjoy guys 🎉
Thanks for taking us along on the train ride!
@@KenWiggerAnotherAncientGamer thanks for the comment Ken, hope you’re keeping well mate! 🙏🏻
@@VeggiesOnTour 🙂
the google does not support in china, they left
Everyone is so calm, it seems you are the only one winging and bitching, calm down, be a man lol Actually this is not the worst, crowds can be everywhere, not only in China, in Asia. You know what happens in US right now, all airports are crammed with tourists for the long holiday, record number, esp, US airports are small and old. lol
Lol thanks mate, i hear you. It doesn't seem as stressful as it was - language barrier, lots of queues but yeah i agree with you
A non Chinese passport can get through the automatic check in as well for the bullet train
Nonsense. Do Chinese people use passports in the country?
如果这叫疯狂了，春节算什么呢？那就彻底疯狂
Love both of you ❤
welcome to beijing
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
上海和北京完全不同的风格，上海更现代化一点，北京更注重历史文化，因此你不会看到像上海那样的高楼和LED，但是北京有很多几百年的历史建筑，都非常有特点，祝你玩的开心
you failed to do your basic homework. you can order from your seat and have food delivered to your seat.
Lol Chinese only apps are not easy to navigate as you can’t change the language - plus being vegetarian & with allergies makes it even more difficult
上海有三个火车站，南站是最小最破也比较拥挤的
十几个火车站。新客站，西站，南站，虹桥站，松江站都不止三个了
有趣的是，他们仍然很棒，只是很忙！
Giuliano seemed very upset about something?
I think this is one of their older train stations that were designed for slower trains. The newer high-speed train station is called Hongqiao, opened over a decade ago. Shanghai needs a newer and bigger train station...attractive couple, btw:)
是的，上海站1908年至今，多次改建扩大，但这现在不是主要的高铁站，是虹桥站没错👍
这个也不是上海站，他们去的这个是上海南站。是上海最小最拥挤的站。一般是运行普通车和动车，临时加的车
@@williamfeng-mo2ms 哈讲八刚，0:31 火车站外面holiday inn都拍出来了。
0:31 长城假日酒店 Holiday inn也是上海站附近的明显地标。帮南站么的关系。
I am 秋果 membership too
Shanghai Railway Station is the oldest train station in Shanghai. It has a good location but is small in scale and has very limited capacity for trains. Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station is the main hub for high-speed trains and the largest train station in Shanghai. Most high-speed trains depart from Hongqiao Railway Station.
Have a good trip❤❤
为什么旅馆会有飞机杯？？😂
干净 安全 现代
Someday live in HK foreigners after July 10th have applied the MTP (Mainland travel permit) can get the High speed train to China also used the MTP card and scan by the gate no need humanity to scan and even live in Macau foreigners also can used MTP card to China also go opposite to Zhuhai Hengqin.
The box in the hotel is related to adult supplies. You need to scan the QR code to buy and open it.
This involves a porn-related issue.😂
The ride itself is quite relaxing, boarding is stressful. The bullet train is very punctual. Some first time visitor missed bullet train.
To be honest, the train station was not too crowded, it would be people mountain people sea in holiday season.
Enjoy your time in Beijing!
哈哈 太搞笑了 一直扣成人套件 是能扣开吗 要扫码的 你老婆冲电的地方 有个机器对他喊 小度 小度 打开窗帘
App???
大美新疆，欢迎两位
beijing is my least favorite city in china, train to beijing you need double security check, even metro in beijing has passport or id check sometimes, you wanna go to Tiananmen square? ofc security check/passport check, everything is so serious in beijing, hate that. Also beijing doesn’t have a good city management, traffic is bad, hutong area living quality is bad… All other cities are better than beijing. My ex boyfriend and ex girlfriend were from beijing, i had to go to beijing very often, but really don’t like it, also food is bad there too, my ex, a beijing local told me that best beijing food is McDonald’s
You are right! Beijing does have a lot of security!
6:52 for many occasions (if not most) we can only see a sexy neck and his adam's apple floating around the center of the screen, lololol
13:16 that button (with the text "Open" on it, note it is not "download" or "install from apple store" ) is only valid when u have the National Rail App installed from apple store/or google play(if u find it there, chinese phones have their own manufactuer's stores), or even possibly some extra operation is required, as is not easy to detail here.
26:50 that may be Fresh Air System, which exchanges and filters air (or maybe heat-exchanger too) from outside.
😂😂😂 sorry aha! Great explanations!
There are xx million of people in one city. 😂😂😂 China has 1.4 billion people. India as well. 8.1 billion in earth. Shanghai has almost 30 million people. Compare to London, 8.8 million. 😂
Woooah!
You did not click on the right button for internet, do be scared of asking for help from staff or the Passenger
I don’t know why, but the food on the high-speed rail is not a mainstream brand, hahaha
Jesus thats a lot of people lol
HOw can u be sure that the snack you ate on the train on pure vegan, especially that you don't understand Chinese
@@zhangjin7179 dont worry mate, we’re not vegans, we’re vegetarian. As you know, two very different things! We’re older than you think and have more experience than we show on this channel aha! So of course its s good point, but yeah we know what we’re doing! 😂 - that’s not our biggest issue either in China - it’s the fact that one of us is G6PD deficient, which means fava beans are a big issue! 🙏🏻
It is recommended that bloggers go to the small cities of Tiandi in China to have a look
Welcome to China! Don’t forget to try some Chinese vegetarian cuisine！
Forthcoming in a video!
144 hour visa you got? seems like a bit of a stretch.
They will be in trouble if they used 144 trans visa travelling from shanghai to beijing
144 is a transit visa, which does not allow you to leave the city of landing. Theirs should be a formal visa, which is usually valid for 15 days.
@@alexk5772I heard it's not just the city you landed in, but nearby cities as well. For example, if you transit in Guangzhou, you can travel anywhere within Guangdong province.
@@dicky-duck6632 I don't know if it's possible in Guangdong, but most cities don't allow people to leave the city. Maybe the situation in Guangdong is different because Hong Kong is nearby and you can go to Hong Kong through certain areas.
@@dicky-duck6632 不是任何地方，只是附近个别几个城市。
I think in Japan if you miss the train you can take next one,even if it is bullet train.Shanghai to Beijing is quite amazing guys.Hope you enjoy Beijing.Jackie should come up and greet us you guys 🙂
一样可以改签
Same here in China
What happened to our lovely toilet😢 (at 20:30)
I guess you met students on a school trip on the train and saw many children wearing the same clothes.
Yes! That's it, aha!!
Nice
Every Chinese person has run at a railway station in their life. I just ran for 20mins at Zhengzhou east station last month it was huge!! My previous flight got delayed and I ran for my life in that city. I still missed the train. It was unfortunate. Seats of the following trains were all sold out days before because of the population in China. That's why when you miss a train, things get real complicated.
Oooft, really sorry to hear that! How did you get to your destination in the end?
@@VeggiesOnTour I kept refreshing on the app and finally was able to secure a seat in the business class just an hour later. so overall it wasn't too bad! Only painful for my wallet
希望你們在中國旅遊愉快🌻
谢谢！我们很感激您的好评！
Basically on high speed trains, wifi is not too stable and slow, so I usually use 5G
🙏🙏
That free Wi-Fi app might be not available in your App Store.
you have to click non smoking room when you book hotel, you probably didnt click that option. or if you cant find it, just request it in the hotel comment section.
oh any hotel with a hanky panky box is on the lower end, thats why they allow smoking.... but most higher end hotels will not
We did select it, it’s not always available though. It was a chain, actually wasn’t the cheapest of option but who knows!
我看到飞机杯了😂😂😂😂
