A TikTok creator duo is giving viewers a first-hand look at China's luxury high-speed trains, and the ride looks so smooth and stylish that it's turning heads online.
Travel creators Taz and Libby (@sunkissedbucketlist) documented their first-ever trip in business class on the route between Guangzhou and Shenzhen, China. From reclining seats and snack boxes to a surprisingly roomy bathroom and even a coatroom, the couple found the experience closer to flying first class than sitting on a train.
@sunkissedbucketlist China's business class trains are 12/10 🤩 Like seriously!!! The HSR (high speed rail) in China is better than any we've experienced in any other country! Do you think trains in Japan & Germany are better than the High Speed Rail in China???? 🤷🏼♀️ #chinatravel #bullettrain #fyp #techtok #traveltiktok #chinaa #traveltok #travelvlogger ♬ original sound - Taz & Libby | Travel Content
"We had no idea what to expect," the creators admit early in the video, but they were quickly won over. "This carriage is fancy and exclusive, with just five seats in business class and the comfiest train seats ever."
They highlighted complimentary water, reading lights, panoramic windows with shades, and a snack box that earned "10 out of 10 cashews." At 300 kilometers per hour (186 mph), the train covered the distance between the two cities in no time.
China's vast high-speed rail network is one of the largest and most advanced in the world, and videos like this help explain why it impresses so many international visitors. For passengers, it means skipping airport lines and reducing stressful commutes.
China's high-speed rail network is not only engineered for speed and comfort. It has become a global model of sustainable travel. These electric trains serve as a cleaner alternative to air and auto transport, shrinking carbon emissions while offering unmatched convenience and comfort.

Electric-powered high-speed rail produces significantly fewer emissions than planes, offering a cleaner and more environmentally friendly way to travel. High-speed rail helps reduce reliance on cars and flights, alleviating traffic congestion, limiting the use of dirty energy, and improving air quality.
Commenters on the TikTok video loved the in-depth review of the rail system. One wrote, 'China is leaps and bounds ahead.'
Another added their experience, 'Love this! Tried it on my last trip alone to Shanghai.'
With a third adding some additional information: 'Not only can you access a business lounge with a separate entrance and security, but the staff will also escort you to the platform, train car, and assist with luggage.'
