How does the high-speed train in China compare with the Shinkansen in Japan?

1. Appearance: China people are rounder and Japanese people are thinner.

The Shinkansen in Japan is famous for its bullet. The whole front of the train is more slender than that of China, and looks like a bullet, giving people a sharp feeling like an eagle's mouth, while the front of the high-speed train in China is more rounded and looks more comfortable.

However, there are also slender train heads in China, such as the latest Fuxing, in order to better reduce the resistance caused by air.

Second, rail standards: China is full of standard rails, and there are not a few Japanese standard rails.

The development of high-speed rail in Japan is relatively more independent and closed. Most of the railways built in the early days were1.067mm. Only the newly-built Shinkansen in the back chose the standard gauge (1435mm) which was in line with international standards, while all the high-speed railways in China adopted the standard gauge. Standard orbit is the orbit standard chosen by most countries in the world.

Third, the price: China is only one third of that of Japan.

Japanese high-speed rail is expensive, almost RMB 300 million per kilometer, while China is only one-third of it, that is, RMB-0/100 million per kilometer. The high cost determines that Japanese high-speed rail fares are also more expensive than those in China. Friends who have traveled to Japan should be able to experience it for themselves.

4. Different tickets: Japanese tickets are more flexible than those in China.

Japanese high-speed rail tickets do not specify seats and flights. As long as you buy a ticket, you can get on any train anytime and anywhere, which is more flexible and convenient than the high-speed rail ticket in China. At least don't worry about all kinds of troubles caused by temporary changes in plans. Obviously, Japan has considered this aspect thoroughly, but there must be a reason why China didn't use this method. Why do you think it is?

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Ride experience: China high-speed rail is better.

According to a friend who came back from a trip to Japan, the Shinkansen in Japan is not as smooth as the high-speed train in China, and it is easy to cause motion sickness and other discomfort. This may be related to the fact that the Japanese Shinkansen has been in operation for many years, while the high-speed trains in China were mostly built in recent years, so the experience is naturally good.

Extended data:

High-speed railway, referred to as high-speed railway, refers to the railway with high standard of infrastructure design speed, safe and high-speed train running on the track, and the train running speed is above 200 km/h.

High-speed rail has different regulations in different countries, different times and different scientific research and academic fields. The National Railway Administration of China defines China's high-speed railway as a passenger dedicated railway with a design running speed of more than 250km/h (including reservation) and an initial running speed of more than 200km/h, and has issued the corresponding document "Code for Design of High-speed Railway".

The National Development and Reform Commission of China defines China's high-speed railway as a newly-built or existing railway with a speed of 200 km/h or more, and has issued the corresponding Medium-and Long-term Railway Network Planning Document, which unifies all track lines with a speed of 200 km/h into the category of China's high-speed railway network.

Shinkansen is a high-speed railway system that runs through Japan (except Shikoku). Its first line was opened on 1964, which is not only the advanced high-speed railway system in the world today, but also the earliest high-speed railway system used for passenger transport in the world.

It can be said that the Japanese Shinkansen, which was born in the second half of the 20th century, is the pioneer of high-speed railways in the world, and ranks as the four giants of high-speed railways in the world together with French TGV, German ICE and China CRH. It has accumulated rich experience for other countries, including China, which have not yet developed or are developing high-speed railways, and has transferred some technologies to these countries with compensation to help them develop high-speed railway systems more quickly and conveniently.
