Good morning and welcome back to the channel.

Today we are in China and we are in front of Chongqing East train station, the newest train station here in China.

This is my first time ever in China and today we have an adventure.

So today we are going to be taking a business class train on the high -speed rail of China.

This train goes up to 350 miles per hour

and we're going to be riding this for about two and a half hours from the city of Chongqing,

which is China's futuristic cyberpunk city, to the Avatar Mountains.

It's a special national park here in China that basically inspired the Avatar movies.

We are now going to head into Chongqing East train station and see how this works.

I have no idea.

So like I said, we have a business class ticket and

And apparently we have a business class lounge that we can go to before getting to the train.

I don't have an actual ticket because it said that I just give my passport and I can get in.

So we're going to try to do that.

Okay, guys.

Well, we just went through security.

Here in China, to go onto any trains or even the metro, you have to go through a security check, which honestly I really like.

I'm not going to show it to you but it's behind me because I don't want to film security.

So in front of me is the board.

However, I don't see our...

I don't know.

I'm a bit confused to be honest.

There is a business class lounge up here that I think..

but online it said that all I have to do is give my passport

and when I give my passport they let me onto the train.

We don't have so much time to get to this train

so I'm not exactly so sure

but as you can see the train station is pristine over there they have some drinking water

that you can just fill up your bottles it is spotless

it's super clean this train station actually opened like uh one month ago technically where's the prison

I have wow I'm so lost really i'm so so lost look at how absolutely massive this train station is

and there's not

so many people either like it's pretty empty to be honest i do have friends here

that are supposed to be meeting us for this train ah man

this might be tough oh okay i found it on I found another book.

22A and 20...

I see it okay.

My buddies are in the business class lounge which says is right here.

It looks closed.

How'd it get in there?

Yeah this is like closed.

Wow this is so confusing.

Okay you're getting the real...

China's a very confusing place to be as a foreigner

so it wasn't 22a it's actually 22b

and i have some friends who are in the lounge at the moment

and they said that we will get escorted into the train from the lounge wow it is

i mean china kind of like once you understand what's going on in china it gets easy however

if anything kind of goes wrong it gets a little bit confusing to be honest

so let's head over here

i'll show you we only have about less than 10 minutes until the train leaves

this is the business class lounge here in china hello yeah

so like i said they didn't give me a ticket

or anything online so basically i just handed my passport and

that should be good enough

i think what's up guys wow look at this it is spotless in here you have all these little snacks

and drinks are we the only people here are we the only business class tickets for the train

oh it's okay no it's okay it's good okay oh okay thank you wow guys okay

so they checked the passport i have no ticket i have no physical ticket you don't need a physical ticket here

We have our own private security check again back there.

And yeah, guys, how are we doing?

You guys got here early or?

No, like 10 minutes ago.

10 minutes ago?

Yeah.

Dude, I'm so happy you answered the call because I was so lost.

And not even a minute later, lounge gone because the train is leaving.

And you can see that the Chinese rail staff are actually escorting us privately to the train.

I asked them if there was anyone else on the train they didn't know what

that was saying so I have no idea

Okay we're on separate what is mine?

Okay we're this way

Hello thank you

Wow This one?

Oh wow okay thank you

Guys check this out

Is it just me him no one else yeah yeah okay cool bye

I Don't know how they yeah wow guys so check this out

It's just us in the cabin these are business class seats.

I have one F.

Which one do you have?

1a so we have like the extra legroom seat and and I have no idea if we...

Oh look, okay, we have our own private little beverage cart right here.

It looks like we have some juices, some soda, some water, some instant coffee.

Wow, this is kind of crazy, huh?

To be honest, it feels like I'm kind of in a spaceship.

This is the seat.

We have like seat controls here that don't seem to be working.

Oh, this one's working.

Do I have to hold it?

The seat actually goes into a fully live flat.

I'm 100 % honest with you.

It took me about two minutes of pressing that button to get the bed down.

However, look at how much space you have.

And if we do a little test, you can see that.

Wow.

I'm actually really surprised because Chinese people are not the biggest people, and we are usually a bit larger than them

and I have full full room to completely stretch out here in my little business class cubby.

Alright, let's get the train moving and then I'll talk to you in a bit.

100

What is this one?

101

This is so no can I have water?

102

Okay thank you.

103

Do you have coffee?

104

Could I have a coffee please okay thank you

105

so much um is there food on the train yes we have beef and noodles and

106

chicken is it included with our ticket we have to pay no no no

107

it's free no oh okay um what is best

108

Just a chicken, beef, noodle?

109

Beef.

110

Beef?

111

Okay, I take beef.

112

Okay, okay.

113

Okay, and just a coffee, please.

114

Okay.

115

Thank you so much.

116

So we were given this little kind of mystery basket.

117

I don't know what it is exactly.

118

I'm going to open it.

119

We also ordered some food.

120

We didn't know.

121

I mean, we assumed that food would come with the ticket.

122

However, what is in our little Chinese goodie box?

123

Wow, guys, it's like a million snacks in here.

124

Oh my gosh, look at this.

125

There's like a million little Chinese snacks.

126

Wow, look at this.

127

So we have a cream egg cookie.

128

We have mystery nuts.

129

We have mystery spicy meat.

130

We have, I think that's peach gum.

131

We also have, oh, this is a mystery squishy thing.

132

I don't know what that is.

133

And then some mystery nuts, I think.

134

I decided to come and check out the Chinese business class high -speed train toilet,

135

only to find out that it is the same toilet that it is shared with everyone on the train.

136

The car right behind us all is the same toilet.

137

It doesn't really matter.

138

But from a cleanliness standpoint, it seems pretty good.

139

Nothing fancy about it at all, but yeah, it works.

140

Alright guys, so food has arrived.

141

One thing that I did notice is that we basically have our own cabin attendant here.

142

She left us the cart of snacks and basically was like, whatever snacks you want, just take.

143

No problem.

144

So since this is a business class train in China, of course we have to try the food that comes with it.

145

This is a layer and eggs soup.

146

Let's give it a shot.

147

Salty?

148

Eggy?

149

success here is our meal with the beef the rice the veggies which

150

if i'm being honest with you for a business class train

151

i would expect it did have a layer of like plastic on it i would expect

152

a little bit more than just a microwave meal however i'm not complaining

153

because i think it's gonna taste good well

154

that's not too bad spicy everything in china is spicy then we have some of the beans.

155

Spicy.

156

That one I really like.

157

It's like mushrooms and soy sauce type of deal.

158

But overall, it's actually a really decent sized food that's pretty large.

159

Not too bad.

160

7 out of 10 for the food.

161

Really nice experience so far on China business class.

162

Guys, the food is so hot.

163

It's so hot that I'm literally crying like can you see it?

164

I love spicy food.

165

This is a next level spicy food on a Chinese trend.

166

Look I literally have tears coming down my face.

167

Be scared of the beef.

168

So guys we actually just pulled off to little station.

169

I have no idea how much time we have here, but this is what a little rural station looks like in China.

170

Which is very cool.

171

Oh, sorry.

172

This is like.. there's even a police officer who just got on the train. And uh...

173

Guys, we're in the middle of nowhere

174

China and the train station is gigantic.

175

So now we are pulling up to a station in the middle of nowhere.

176

We're about halfway through our journey

177

but this is probably i don't know this is probably a small city in china

178

and i guarantee you millions and millions of people live here

179

so these are a bunch of people who are going to be getting on the train with us

180

so before our train journey ends here in china i thought

181

that i would show you what the other seats look like

182

and if we go into here this is what the other seats look like.

183

This is an economy seat here in China and if we come here the space is really good to be honest.

184

You have a window, it's really really soft, really comfortable by the way.

185

The business class price was $100 for just about three hour journey while an economy seat over here was just $20.

186

So that's basically five times the price than just the normal seat.

187

Now of course you get the private cabin, you get the business class seat, you get the cart full of snacks,

188

and you get the food of course however

189

that is I think a big stretch for the price difference however I will say

190

that both seats are super nice these are I mean the privacy I think is worth it especially

191

if you're really tired however the economy seats are really good

192

so for me that's tough all right guys we are We're arriving to the station now.

193

This is the station of the Avatar Mountains here in China.

194

And let's see how easy and seamless it is to get off.

195

Let's inspect the seat, not leaving anything behind.

196

That is something that I do all the time, is leave things behind.

197

And let's get out of here.

198

Thank you.

199

Wow, guys, look.

200

It kind of looks like one high -speed train connected to another high -speed train, which is kind of crazy.

201

And yeah, well, that was the train experience here in China.

202

I don't know if I told you the price.

203

It was $100 for a three -hour journey on the business high -speed train.

204

Do I think it's worth it?

205

Look, there are good things and not really any bad things.

206

The seat was really nice the privacy of just us being in there, the food, the unlimited snack cart was really good.

207

However, like I said earlier, comparing it to the value of the normal seat, which is really good, the seat's great,

208

I would probably only recommend doing this on the longer routes.

209

Maybe if you're going six, seven hours, I think it would probably be worth it.

210

But if you want to find this exact journey

211

or other train tickets in China we used trip .com not a sponsor

212

but just letting you know it had the best prices

213

so I'll see you in another video soon from China or somewhere else

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
