Experiencing China's High Speed Train as a 20-year-long customer

There are so many Chinese train videos, but this one is unique as it is from a 20 year long customer's perspective and comparing it not against the other countries' train systems but rather comparing with what we have 20 years ago. Just like many things in China, comparing China against rest of the world shows you a lot, but when you compare it with 20 years ago in China the picture is even more interesting!

My favourite mode of transportation in China. Fast, on time, cheap, and clean. I try to take the high speed train whenever I can. I have taken the high speed train from Nanjing to Yangzhou. Yangzhou is fascinating. I have taken the Beijing-Shanghai route several times and it is much quicker than flying in terms of overall time.
