Our bullet train experience was excellent! Booking through Klook was very easy and convenient. You don’t even need a physical ticket. You simply use your passport to enter the train station and board the train. Everything went smoothly, and we had no issues at all. One important tip for foreign travelers: if you want to order food on the train, you won’t be able to do so through the online ordering system unless you have a Chinese phone number linked to your train ticket booking. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend booking through Klook!

10/10. A lot of passengers were instructed to open their luggages. They dont allow 3 bottles of perfume. I didnt understand the reason for openning the luggages due too language barrier. I told them that i have 1 perfume and 2 bottles of skin care. i loved the ride. 2nd class is very comfy. Food is sold inside the train
