VF❤️Shanghai to Zhangjiajie . 7hours , 1280 kms . Maximum speed 341 . Try sitting on a squat toilet at that speed lol 😂. An early Didi ( uber ) took us to the station quite swiftly so we arrived early . Always a good thing when doing something new . We used our passport going thru security. Just like an airport really . Got on the train and the attendants were just delightful ( even if they did try to sell me a massage device for my neck and shoulders ) made the trek 6 cars down to the dining car . They kept the carriage s**c and span mopping and collecting rubbish . They even asked us to be in a promotional photo shoot for the train marketing . We are infamous now lol 😜.. We had some snacks and a vege rice bowl for lunch and a green tea with real leaves .. nice … arrived safely and now to enjoy nature in Zhangjaijie ( the land of Avatar ) . The train was fab and the experience was easy … ☺️🇨🇳❤️
