Hi today, a woman who has traveled a long time , will come to a review of China's high-speed rail. , without further ado, now I am in the waiting room of the business class of Shanghai Hongqiao Station. Although there is no staple food here , there are many snacks. a peach and hawthorn mint. After registering with drinks at the front desk , you will get a small sign because business seats can enter the station in advance . Then a dedicated staff will come to me through the sign and take me to check in and find a seat to sit down and eat snacks slowly to

pass the time because the chairs here are really comfortable and suitable for sleeping and playing on mobile phones. At that time, the staff came over and called me and said that I could check in in advance and enter the station. Then several of our fellow business class passengers were led to the platform by her. If there was any luggage, the lady would help carry it. This is my place. After closing the door, this is a world that is completely my own. I originally wanted to take a panoramic shot but later found out It seems a bit difficult. I bought a

business ticket from Shanghai Hongqiao to Suzhou North this time and took the Fuxing smart train. Because the structure of the business seats corresponding to different models is different. I wanted to experience the one with a partition door, so I chose the smart train. The total fare is 23 minutes. The business class ticket is 145 yuan. There are slippers in the cabinet in front of the seat. You know how much it frees your feet. The design of this chair is very comfortable. There is a pillow for the head and a backrest for the waist . Next comes the

stage of unlocking the smart device. The more user-friendly part is that the corresponding part of the calf below the knee can be changed. When lying flat, the seat can support a larger area for the legs. Now this is a recliner . Hi I am Daisy. Welcome to my channel . I will share what you see and hear in China. If you like it, please like and subscribe. It is indeed more comfortable to lie down than to sit. I closed my eyes and pretended to have slept here. My feet are also very comfortable and happy. There are night lights and various plugs. If you

need to spend the night on the high-speed train, I think the business seat will be particularly suitable. Let’s take a look at the bathroom. There are gaskets in the car. In our car, the business seat has 6 seats. 6 people share a bathroom and the bathroom is very clean. There is a sink outside the bathroom. When I came in, the flight attendant was asking other passengers what they had for lunch because the time period I took was not meal time. If it was meal time, the business seats would give free meals. This part will be placed at the end of the

video. I originally wanted to see if there was a good TV because the signal was not good, so the entertainment center was not loaded. Other modules were not very attractive. I felt that the entertainment facilities were not very attractive. You still have to prepare your own folding table. It is quite big and sturdy. If you have to type on the keyboard and work overtime on the high-speed train, your efficiency should be high. After all, the business class seats are quite quiet . After I received the snack package, I opened it and found these black fungus

Purple potato oatmeal cake, snowflake cakes. chicken sausage Grab and dried cranberries. Since I can’t watch TV, I might as well eat something. I looked up at the time and after all, I can only afford a business ticket for more than 20 minutes. Time is running out. I opened the package of snowflake cakes and it tasted useless because it was my first time here at Suzhou North Railway Station. There seems to be a beautiful scenery around Yangcheng Lake outside the window. Next time I have a chance, I must come and take a look. When I got off the train, I

noticed that the two trains of this high-speed train are connected together , which means that it is a heavy-duty multiple unit consisting of two 8-car trains . So you have to be more careful when checking in because passengers cannot walk from the 8th car to the 9th car in the car . The return trip is a first-class seat. The evaluation experience is first of all, it is more common to wait in the waiting hall for ticket check-in in Wuxi. It's fate that I have seen the Peach Shop at Shanghai Hongqiao Station. I also saw it at Suzhou North Station. After

checking in, I went to the platform with everyone to wait. Sometimes if there are many people, it may take a long time to line up to check in. The time to get on the train is a bit tight . The first class seats are on arrival and there is no ticket check in advance. I told you in advance that a child and his mother were waiting. The child was so cute. He used his smart watch to make a video call with his father. His clothes said "I love mom." " and "My mother hasn't hit me for three days." After entering the bus, there is a row of four seats in the

first-class seat. It is also a festive red seat. There is a footrest in front of it , which is very comfortable to put your feet on . You can hang your hat on the back seat and you can put your head back. There is a pillow to cushion your head. It is generally quite comfortable. This trip is from Suzhou North Railway Station to Shanghai Hongqiao. The first-class seat takes 24 minutes. The ticket price is 65 yuan, which is almost 1/2 the price of the business class seat. The smart switches of the luggage rack are near the handle. The sunshade near the

window is an armrest that can be pulled up and down. There is also a folding table that can be opened. I think it is about the same size as a business table. It is perfectly fine for workers to put their computers here. I also received a snack box for first- class seats. This snack box will be different due to the local characteristics of each station and is not set in stone. Still unboxing, there are beef soda biscuits and hawthorn sticks with dried tofu sauce. There is a saying about the sauce. I think the taste of beef and dried tofu is quite good. In

the business class, you can choose drinks such as Coke, Sprite, tea, etc. But in the first class seat , everyone seems to be given a bottle of mineral water by default. If you also like this video , please like and subscribe. This is the biggest encouragement to me. Thank you in the first class seat. There is a place for water connection. The bathroom is okay, but because there are a lot of seats in one compartment and there may be children , it will be a bit noisy. Hi Now that we have left the station, let me briefly explain. I think the high-speed rail

business class is indeed very luxurious and a bit like the business class and first class of an airplane. In addition, I feel that the business class is elderly-friendly. Just now, in the business class waiting room , there was a girl who was about my age and brought her parents. My mother came with me, and then the little girl went to sit in the first class seat by herself. She bought business class tickets for her parents. Her parents were there because many devices may be a bit smart. You can adjust the seat back , lie down and close the door. Her

parents really don't know how to use it. The flight attendant will tell them very patiently. How do you use it ? In addition, business class can also deliver lunch and dinner during the noon time and evening time. Although high-speed trains and high-speed trains now also have the function of ordering food on board , you can order food for yourself one day in advance , and then when you order at the restaurant, they will deliver your lunch or dinner to you. The location is up, but the price is not very cheap. If the business class class comes with lunch

and lunch, I think this is relatively cost-effective. Another reason why I think the business class class is elderly-friendly is that it can also provide you with wheelchair transportation. It should be free, because I just heard The conductor told an elderly person whether he needed a wheelchair to pick him up after arriving at the station. If he needed a wheelchair to pick him up, he could tell them in advance that they could arrange this. I think it is quite good because the elderly may indeed have inconveniences in their legs and feet. As you have

just seen, I think the first class seat is actually not bad . The business class seat is indeed quieter because there are no children . There are still children in the first class seat, but in terms of overall comfort, because the chair can also be reclined , I think it is OK, including a pillow behind the chair, so the whole situation The state is also very comfortable. I think if you have a long distance or you have to stay overnight, you can consider business class because the price of business class is indeed more expensive. If you travel normally, I

think it is no problem to buy a first-class ticket. I recommend it to you. The above is my suggestion. Share it. For your reference,
