A journey from Hong Kong West Kowloon to Beijing West on train G80, 2,441 km (1,516 miles) in 8h56, showing stations, train, classes, food & scenery.  For Hong Kong to Beijing train times, fares & tickets see https://www.seat61.com/hong-kong-to-b...

This was a relaxing day's train ride right across China at up to 300 km/h (186 mph), which as you can see isn't too fast to appreciate the views.  The sheer scale of China's high-speed rail infrastructure is breathtaking, with a growing network and vast new stations.  I hope the scale of some of the stations comes over in the video.
