"I am in the waiting hall of Zhengzhou East Railway Station. There are 32 gates in total. I need to find the right one, line up, and the staff will check my passport to get on the train.
I can see a lot of passengers coming and going. I need to find 24B. Now I'm at 19B, it should be ahead. And there is an information center, if you have any questions, you can of course ask them.
Here is my train, and you can see such a lifting door here to ensure that passengers do not fall. On the screen, you can find the number of your train and carriages, and you find the right one, and you get on the train.
I'm going to the business carriage right now. You can absolutely be sure that whether it's first or second class or business carriages, all of them are so clean and comfortable.
Let's go, and a little bit magic. Yeah, here we go.
Yeah, it is comfy.
The max speed of Chinese high-speed trains is around 350 kilometers per hour. It's so comfy, now we have to go about 60 kilometers, and it's going to take us only 20 minutes.
Here we have buttons to control the chair, and you can also charge your phone over here. And of course, screen, you can watch movies.
Oh, here we have wet towels and snacks. You can enjoy them.
If you have a long trip, you can even order takeout on China's high-speed trains by scanning this QR code, right here. Here we have drinks, instant noodles, and pizzas. You can see, let's choose this one, and they will deliver it to your seat.
Now I'm at the Kaifeng (north) train station. (In the next episode,) I'll meet Mr. Wang Dong to enjoy the Chinese tea ceremony."
