In this video, I'm going to be travelling on Hong Kong's ONLY high-speed train, the legendary MTR Vibrant Express. I'll be riding this beautiful CRH380A bullet train on the high-speed railway between Hong Kong West Kowloon station and Guangzhou South across the border in mainline China.
This is the Vibrant Express First Class, and I'll show you inside this Gaotie train (the China Railways name for a high-speed train), a modern day replacement for the classic and now withdrawn Kowloon Through Train (KTT). But will this Hong Kong bullet train be impressive? Let's find out on this Hong Kong to China train journey with an amazing train that deviates from the usual China Railways interior as we ride to Guangzhounan.
