A nostalgic slow train in the era of high-speed railways... This green train travels about 380 km, taking people from poverty-stricken areas to markets in Hunan, C China. The ticket price hasn't risen in two decades.

Hopefully these slow trains can be preserved forever.
And keep the price low for another 2 decades!

@AndrewJin Hows the public transport in Ningbo? Is it connected to HSR network? I'm moving there next year and would like to know more about the city's transport network.

Interesting class.
Did your teacher mention Jitong Railway?
Not purely freight though

@AndrewJin Hows the public transport in Ningbo? Is it connected to HSR network? I'm moving there next year and would like to know more about the city's transport network.

The city's public transport is separated from HSR/railway, one is run by the city, the later by China Railway.

Ningbo has a very good public transport system, but now mostly reliant on bus.
Nearly 200 lines, 2 yuan per ride (one-hour free transfer), 40% off using pubic transport card.
You can also use that card for subway, taxi, parking, etc.

In terms of subways, there are 2 lines in operation.
Whilst you are there, you will witness the progress of this new subway network by yourself and how this emerging metropolis is growing.

Ningbo Subway

In terms of railways, Ningbo is on a very busy Coastal HSR, Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo-Xiamen-Shenzhen costal corridor.
You can easily navigate this line at weekend by yourself, or even same day travel to cities like Shanghai/Nanjing/Hangzhou.

To Shanghai, 2 hours, every 10-30 minutes. 50+ services per day.
To Hangzhou (the provincial capital), 1 hour, every 5-15 minutes, 100 services per day
To Xiamen, 5.5 hours, 25 services per day
To Shenzhen, 8.5 hours, 15 per day
To Beijing, 7 hours, 4 per day
To Nanjing, 2.5 hours, 40 per day.

I really like this city, been there for 3 times.
You can have a taste of different images of China at the same time, modern and traditional, also lots of tourist sites in the region!
Water towns, islands, huge huge mountains, classical Chinese gardens.....And sea food OMG.

One example, Yandang Mountains, in nearby Wenzhou City (another major city for Chinese economy)

The entire province has many great tourism sites, very easy to navigate by public transport.

Tag me in this thread if you have any question.
I remember @yusheng is from Ningbo.
