The secret for a smooth ride on Chinese high speed train is 1) most parts of the lines are straight. They use thousands of bridges and tunnels to make the lines as straight as possible. 2) the track jointing method is extremely high tech. The joints have only 3mm variation. That means if you touch the joint, you can't even feel it. 3) to ensure the tracks are not expanded or contracted due to temperature variation, the tracks are clamp down once every half meter. ONCE EVERY HALF METER! Imagine how many clamps are used.

Chongqing is "the city of fog" because of the whole city buid on a mountain.So Chongqing always looks cloudy and rainy , not because of air pollution.In this reason The weather in Chongqing is very humid, which has led to the local people's habit of eating spicy food. because spicy food can warm up the body.

But what people do not know is the highway net work is 3-5 times more density than Europe, and the quality of them are top of the world.

In China's high-speed rail first-class cabins, the seats can be adjusted to a very comfortable angle, and even fully reclined. Just like on an airplane, there are also footrests. You can lie down and take a nap comfortably during the journey. The control buttons are on the inside of the armrest of the seat, and there is a small table in the armrest that can be pulled out to place items. You can try it next time for a more comfortable experience.
