Because of the Tianjin concellation flight it makes my layover here longer than ever. So I decided to go Beijing from Tianjin. Then I took Morning Train from Tianjin Train Station 天津站 to Beijing South Station 北京南站 with the fastest bullet train in china. Let me tell you in detail about this 35 minutes CRH Bullter Train ride.
With the total of 8 cabin, this China Railway High-speed ride cost me RMB 54.50 (approximately SGD 11) for 2nd class with seat configuration 2-3 (2-2 for first class). If full, you can buy standing tickets as well (without seat) with the same price of 2nd class.
The seats is comfortable enough for the half an hour ride. Quite pack but not squeezy. Seat pitch is good enough for you to rest during the journey. Toilet is rather clean compare to most public toilet in china. Then the crew is quite friendly. The train provide water fountain for you to drink on board with you own water bottle.
The train speed can go up to 288kph. Very fast but feels normal inside the cabin. Good experience and smooth journey overall with affordable price.
But too bad, the self purchase ticket machines in the Station design only for locals as it required ID to scan in order for you to purchase. So you have to queue at the counter together with the others. And don't forget to bring your passport along in order for you to go out of the states (travel to another city in China).
