Finally, the chance for me to experience a ride on the bullet train came to life..nevermind the Shinkansen of Japan, behold the China Railway High-speed (中國鐵路高速). The CRH could speed up to 330km/h which took only 30mins from Tianjin Train Station to Beijing South Railway Station. To get to the station, take a bus shuttle from the Tianjin Airport (Exit no.2) to the Tianjin Railway Station, then get inside and the ticket counter is at the left side..mind you, it's all in Chinese (Mandarin)..so you need to know some keywords. As soon as you arrived at Beijing South Railway, you will be able to navigate around as they station is part of the subway system of Beijing.
a look into the CRH
As I took an Airasia X flight from Kuala Lumpur to Tianjin, I need to commute from Tianjin to Beijing by a bullet train..
with a mere 59 yuan (approx rm30), you could purchase a 2nd class ticket..however the seating is not definite you might need to stand for 30 minutes
That's the 2nd class seating
And here's the 1st class ticket..it's only RM35 (70 yuan)
That's the configuration of first class seating..totally different for an extra RM5
Nice seating with audio system and tray for reading etc..FYI, outside foods are allowed..you can get a McD meal and eat it inside as well
That's the top speed of the CRH 330km/h (+/- 1km/h)
That's me as a proof that I was on the bullet train
Bullet Train Ride from Tianjin-Beijing..see how fast is the speed..
