Answers to questions about China's high-speed rail have been viewed tens of thousands of times. Many netizens in the United States said they had a positive experience when catching high-speed trains in China, praising the service for its speed and comfort.


A netizen named "Tillman Huett-Lassman" said that China has real "high-speed" trains compared to what is available in the United States. They said that it's hard for passengers to notice the movement on the train when it is running at high speed. This is a sentiment echoed by netizen "Sthitapragnya Deshpande", who said that she can easily write on paper while on the train. And netizen "Adam Richards" said that the ample spaces between the seats and aisles make it easy for passengers to stretch their legs or take a stroll.


The facilities and services available on high-speed trains in China include power sockets, Wi-Fi, and huge windows. The food on the high-speed trains also left a good impression on many passengers from overseas.

"Sthitapragnya Deshpande" said it is convenient to buy train tickets on English language websites, adding that it is more comfortable to travel by high-speed train in China than it is to fly.


And netizen "Robin Daverman" said that China is leading the world not just in terms of the quality of trains but also the quantity of services that are available, with hundreds of services available every day in first-tier cities like Beijing.
