Step aboard one of the most luxurious travel experiences in China: the business class cabin of the country’s high-speed train. In this video, I’m traveling from Kunming to Lijiang, gliding through the breathtaking landscapes of Yunnan in style. From reclining seats that offer maximum comfort to impeccable service, this journey shows just how advanced and comfortable China’s rail system has become. The high-speed rail network is more than just modern infrastructure—it's a bridge connecting China's bustling cities with its traditional, cultural gems like Lijiang. As part of my travel series exploring Yunnan and the China-Laos Railway, this journey reveals how modern technology and centuries-old heritage are intertwined in China’s vast and diverse landscape. Are trains also like this in your country? Sophie
