You beat me by a few minutes and I would not have needed Ai. Been there a few years ago. A unique experience. Enjoy.

Business class for a short journey.

Some of the snacks will be quite tasty.. others probably not to a western palette.

Wasn't having a go at you.. I've done the same exact journey in Business Class.
Not that much more $s, and definitely worthwhile if it's your first time on China HSR
