The HSR developing very well in China, each city built a new high-speed train station "高铁客运站" for HSR.
It's a expensive big project in China railway-system.

The Beijing South Railway Station is always packed。

You have to book your tickets in advance,otherwise you might find yourself stranded at the station for hours even with trains leaving every 5-15 mins。

Ditto for Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station。

Is it necessary to book advance for all HSR?
 
My PDF Vietnamese friends have been lying too me all this time? They told me the Chinese HSR will fall apart in 2 weeks :o:

These guys who have been feasting on western propaganda know bugger all about what is going on inside China。

The brainwashed will forever remain brainwashed。

There is not point in having any conversation with these guys left or right。:D

Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway sees 220m trips

(Xinhua) Updated: 2014-06-30 09:46

BEIJING - Data released Sunday by China's railway authorities showed that train trips on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway had surpassed 220 million since its debut three years ago.

Daily average trips on the railway reached 178,000 in 2012 and 230,000 in 2013, respectively. The number climbed to 272,000 in the first half of this year:enjoy:, said the China Railway Corporation.

The 1,318-kilometer-long railway links the country's prosperous Pan-Bohai and Yangtze River Delta economic zones, cutting travel time between the two regions to less than five hours.

The railway is designed to handle maximum train speed of 350 kilometers per hour. High-speed trains on this railway made their debut on June 30, 2011.

That awkward moment when you realize that your country's airports are smaller than Chinese Train stations :ashamed:

Really ?

Chinese people prefer HSR which is same price with air ticket ?
How about foreign travellers ? could they feel comfortable to use China HSR ?

Actually, I love small airport which is fast to get out or on board.
Big and busy airport so annoyed.
