High-Speed Rail: Riding China's Bullet Trains

China's high-speed network connects almost every major city at 300 km/h. Book on 12306 (with passport) or via our concierge. Second-class is comfortable and cheap; first-class adds space. Arrive 30 minutes early, pass security, and match your seat letter (A/C window, D/F aisle) to the boarding pass. Trains depart on time — do not be late.
