On the rails A story from the road
Takeaway on a high-speed train?
中国高铁可以叫外卖？
My first Chinese high-speed train ride came with a surprise: a food delivery.
This was my first time on a high-speed train in China, and I didn’t quite know how to describe how comfortable it felt. Then there was the idea of ordering takeaway. I’d heard it was possible, but I wasn’t entirely convinced.
When the food actually arrived, I could hardly believe it. That little delivery became the story of my first ride. By the time I posted the reel, I already knew I wanted to take a high-speed train again on my next trip to China.
A little more context
Notes to take with you.
- Looking up meal options
- China Railway’s official 12306 website has a meal-booking search by departure date and train number, with a field for G- and D-series trains. Use your own service details to see what is offered.
- Before you order
- Look up the meal options for your own train and date. The food and delivery options you can book depend on what is offered for that journey.
