The bullet train is a must if you’re traveling to China. I’d recommend a higher class ticket if you’re traveling a farther distance like Beijing to Shanghai. The prices overall are decent considering what you’re getting, which my brother and I got First Class. It was a smooth ride, a beautiful way to see the countryside, and extremely convenient for the timing. I’d recommend getting your ticket no more than 24 hours in advanced unless you are that concerned with getting the highest of class seats, like business class. Also, double check how long it takes to get to your destination, the shorter travel times seem to be express services making it a faster trip to your destination.

Booking was quick and easy on the klook app. The seats were comfortable and spacious, have enough room to rest during the travels. Also enough space to store small things on the overhead luggage and there is a storage for large luggage near the entry door. The large window made the experience memorable as you get to appreciate the view whilst traveling. Both train stations were spacious and generally quite easy to navigate.
