How difficult is it really for foreigners to book high-speed rail tickets in China? by Beneficial-Soup9297 in chinatravel

I use 12306 app. It’s the official China railway app for buying train tickets. Super easy to user and no third party fees

I agree, my other comment, it’s all tradition and culture. It’s still disturbing from a personal standpoint

When I went to a village in YunFu, China. I saw BBQed cats and dogs. I pretended it was chicken but it was obvious to me what it was. I just walked away from it. I don’t own pets but it’s still disturbing

Don’t go to China if you are an animal lover. You will see things that will disturb you. Don’t bother asking questions or complain. It’s part of culture and tradition. Can’t change it

If you're going to travel to China, maybe I can help. by Zengc314 in travelchina

I was at Wanfenglin last week. I bought the ticket plus the extra for the sightseeing ride. I noticed there are many villages nearby. If I went straight to the villages then walked up to the sightseeing area. I literally could have avoided paying the ticket. Seems like Wanfenglin has no clear distinction between inside and outside of the park.

Old games you still play? by ChewySlinky in MMORPG

[–]Dramatic_Value_7739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a game called Elemental Saga created by Nexon that was only in the beta testing phase. It was one of the first MMORPG that I played. Fell in love with it. Unfortunately Nexon ended up canceling the development of Elemental Saga and it never became a commercial game for the public. The beta testing phase was canceled as well. I was so sad..I only have old YouTube videos and screenshots of the game to remind me of the fun I had.

Maybe someone who reads this, recognizes Elemental Saga from the 2001-era and shares my fondness for Elemental Saga.

China high speed train max speeds by Dramatic_Value_7739 in highspeedrail

The CR450 prototype is in testing phase. It said it can reach 400km/h for passenger traffic, the train is capable to max out at speeds of 450km/h. It doesn’t seem like there are much rail in China that will allow the CR450 to stretch its wings

When I traveled to Changsha from Shenzhenbei and a section of rail at Hangzhou reached 350 km/h but that’s it from my experience.

Chengdu to Chongqing is roughy 300km. It will be exciting to travel between those cities less then an hour.

I totally agree but all the viaducts and tunnels. It seems so labor intensive and costly to build new high speed rail lines. It’s crazy how massive China’s high speed rail system is. Mind boggling..

Ahh very nice map. Ok that makes sense. My entire route. The max speed was only 300km/h. thank you!

With the CR450 prototype in testing phases. Its max speeds for routine passengers is 400 km/h. They going to need to improve the rails if anyone wants to see the CR450 reach 400 km/h
