Chinese High Speed Train

The first-class cabin on the high-speed train between Nanjing and Shanghai offers spacious seats and a smooth ride, but the experience falls short in one glaring area—cleanliness. The seats, while comfortable, could use a serious refresh; visible stains and worn upholstery detract from the premium feel you’d expect. It’s a shame because the journey itself is efficient and quiet, with large windows to enjoy the scenery. A bit more attention to cleanliness would make a world of difference, turning a good trip into a great one.
