Chinese Railways – Information & Tours

China's railway system is a feat of engineering and modern technology that has grown to include the world's largest network of high-speed trains. Covering more than 25,000 miles, the bullet trains travel at speeds of up to 350 km/h, with the fastest options being the G and D trains. C trains are also on the bullet train network, with each route - regardless of the train - following incredibly efficient courses between China's fascinating cities.

Not satisfied with these advancements, China went on to create the world's fastest autonomous (driverless) trains, which first travelled between Beijing and Zhangjiakou, and is creating ultra-high speed maglev train routes. As the world speeds by, each bullet train remains an oasis of calm with comfortable First or Second Class seating, air conditioning and power outlets. Select routes also feature Business Class seating.

In addition to these high-speed and ultra-high-speed options, China has conventional train options (trains Z, T and K) that travel at speeds up to 160 km/h. While travelling at a slower pace, these trains make more stops along their routes, allowing riders to uncover more of China's immense beauty from Hard or Soft Seat Classes or Sleeper accommodations.
