The bullet train entering the station.
Allowed to bring drinks onto the train.
The bullet train has an average speed of 200 km/h (124 mph) or higher. By that measure, China has the world's longest high-speed rail with over 11,028 km (6,852 mi) of track in service as of December 2013, including the world's longest line, the 2,298 km (1,428 mi) Beijing-Guangzhou High-speed Railway. In the train, the interior looks like the one in an airplane an the seats are rotatable so that you can face your friends behind you. You are also allowed to bring food and drinks on the train. Day 7 was the day we were due for Singapore. To travel from Yangzhou to Shanghai, we took a bullet train. We found out that food was actually allowed on board these bullet trains and immediately we thought the train would be dirty, but, it turned out to be the exact opposite. The train was clean, everyone was seated down, no one was standing up, and there were even convenience stores on the train itself.
We were surprised at the behavior of the passengers on the bullet train. Compared to Singapore, it was a slightly nicer change of pace. The passengers were orderly on the bullet train and they didn't make much noise, and it was a peaceful train ride. This was an interesting experince and it helped us learn more about the outdoor behavior of the people of China.Rating: 5/5
