As many of you know I prefer to ride the rails in China over flying. Perhaps it is because of the years I spent in south China in the 1980s as a teacher in the Railway Ministry.
I have just arrived in Beijing after an overnight train ride from Shanghai. Departure at 7:30 pm and arrive at 7:00 am. The beds are comfortable and the service is great.
If China continues to build new rail lines as planned this country will be the most interconnected country in the world !
I highly recommend it !
In late May, 1980 I landed in Shanghai to take up a teaching position in Changsha, Hunan Province. I came only with my curiosity and have been rewarded with a lifetime passion for China.
