Beiing 2022 Winter Olympic Games - high speed train to Zhangjiakou mountain cluster, my day off

2022年北京冬奥会——坐高铁到张家口

Hello everyone, I am Kat and I am currently working at #Beiing2022 #WinterOlympics.

大家好，我是Kat，北京冬奥会期间在这工作

What a rollercoaster of a journey it has already been! On my day off (I only have 1 day off throughout the whole Games), I decide to catch the train and go to the mountain cluster at Zhangjiakou -located approxmately 180 kilometers northwest of Beiing (111.8 miles) it hosts  the majority of the ski and snowboarding events including freestyle, cross-country, ski jum, Nordic combined, and biathlon.. I got to watch ski aerials (very impressive). Due to strict venue rules I can't show you a lot from there, but what I can show you is my train ride and the new high speed train operating for the Olympic Games.

这简直是一段过山车般的旅程

在我的休息日(奥运期间我只有1天假)，我决定去赶火车，去张家口山地场馆，位于北京西北约180公里(大部分滑雪和滑板滑雪活动包括自由泳、越野、跳台滑雪、北欧两项和冬季两项都在这里举办. .我看了滑雪空中技巧(非常棒)。

根据场地规定，我不能在那里向你们介绍很多东西，但我可以向你们展示我的高铁之旅，为奥运会定制的新高速列车。

The funny thing is - during my day off, the city of Beiing is suddenly being covered with snow. Pretty snowflakes everywhere, yay! I love snow and it makes me so happy. It's even prettier in the mountains. I am so grateful for all these experiences during the Olympic Games, hope you will enjoy them with me and

有趣的是，在我休息的这天，北京突然下大雪了，到处都是漂亮的雪花，耶

我喜欢雪，我很开心。山地的雪景更漂亮。

我很珍惜在奥运会期间的所有这些经历，希望你们能和我一起享受。

If you believe China is a peaceful and progressive country, raise your hand

中国是一个和平进步的国家

中国的现代基础设施让我印象深刻。晚上去街上也很安全，点赞……

Modern, peaceful, friendly, a spectacular winter wonderland, Zhangjiakou, Beiing and beyond.

现代、宁静、友好、壮观的冬季仙境，张家口，北京等等。

As the games draw to a close it is heartening to hear more positive feedback from western media.   Overall, it seems that the games have been a great success too.

随着奥运会接近尾声，来自西方媒体的更多正面反馈令人鼓舞。总的来说，这届奥运会非常成功。

When I studied abroad in China, my favorite part was taking the bullet trains to different cities. Sometimes it’s faster to take the train, because you don’t have to go to the station two hours in advance to go through check in, security, and boarding. The trains are always so clean. I wish the U.S. has bullet trains.

我在中国留学时，我最喜欢的是坐高铁去不同的城市玩。有时候坐火车更快，不必提前两个小时去登记、安检和登机。

车厢里面总是那么干净。我希望美国也有高铁。

I'm mesmerized by the beautiful scenery and how quiet and hi-tech everything in China seems to be. In a country of 1.4 Billion people, there seems to be no chaos and disorder. Everything seems to be as it should. I want some of the same for my country.

我被美丽的风景迷住了，中国的一切似乎都是那么安静、高科技。在一个有14亿人口的国家，一点也不混乱，一切似乎井然有序。希望我的国家也能有这样。

There was something so peaceful about the high-tech, high speed train hurtling quietly through the snow-covered wilderness. Then to see you interact with fellow tourists in the falling snow in Zhangjiakou, it's clear that you are having a nice time. It certainly is a different perspective on China than the one we are accustomed to seeing in the media here in the US, so thank you...

高科技的高速列车在白雪皑皑的荒野中悄无声息地飞驰，给人一种宁静的感觉。

看到你和其他游客在张家口，很明显你玩得很开心。

这不同于我们在美国媒体上所看到的对中国的看法，所以谢谢你

China has such gorgeous scenery

中国有如此绚丽的风景

The high-speed rail you take should be the latest driverless smart high-speed rail with a speed of 350km/h, which started operation before the Beiing Winter Olympics. The entire train has been specially designed, each car has a special cabinet for storing skis.

你乘坐的高铁应该是最新的无人驾驶智能高铁，时速350公里，在北京冬奥会前开始运营。整个列车都是特别设计的，每节车厢都有一个专门存放滑雪板的柜子。

David Lee

Taking the bullet train to watch the scenery of the Game of Throne, that's fantastic.

坐高铁去看《权力的游戏》里面的那种雪景，真是太棒了。

Samw

In UK, trains may not run due to the wrong kind of snow, as in autumn, trains may not run due to the wrong kind of leaves on the track.

在英国，火车可能会因为下雪而停止运行，就像在秋天，火车可能会因为树叶飘落在铁轨上而停止运行。

Rock Wang

Hope you enjoy the journey and welcome back again to see more of the beautiful Beiing!

希望你喜欢这次旅行，也欢迎你再次来到美丽的北京。

Daniel Wong

Wow Beiing is actually snowing good timing for Beiing winter sport. It must be a blessing from above. Hope every altheles will have a great awesome time

哇，北京下大雪真是玩冬季运动的好时机。这一定是上天的祝福。希望每个人都玩得开心

Seymore Fact

if USA ever has luxury speed trains like China...I would love to take it more often!

如果美国有中国那样的豪华高铁，我希望经常坐

John Chen

On other normal high speed railways in China, they have hot food service and you can even order food deliveries from local restaurants during your trip.

在中国的其他普通高铁上，有供应热腾腾的餐饮，还可以在车上叫外卖

Heng Ong Chua

I am sure and believe many of this Winter Olympic participants from all over the world are looking forward to go back and visit China again once traveling is more easy after the pandemic is over. Now they had been to China and see the real China with their eyes they are sure eager to see more of China. Knowing how safe and how friendly the Chinese is.

China Beiing train station it looks far better than most US, UK, Canada, Australia and India Airports.

我相信，在疫情结束后，世界各地的许多冬奥会选手都期待着下次能再次访问中国。

他们已经去过中国，亲眼看到了真正的中国，他们肯定渴望更多地了解中国。他们知道中国有多安全，中国人有多友好。

北京的火车站看起来比大多数美国、英国、加拿大、澳大利亚和印度的机场要宏伟得多。

Here's a reminder that China has the world's largest high-speed rail network, with currently around 38,000 km/24,000 miles of lines....

America has a long way to go to try to rival that

在这里提醒一下，中国建成了世界上最庞大的高铁网络，目前高铁长度有38000公里/合24000英里....美国要想与之匹敌，还有很长的路要走

Ivy Li

I need to see Beiing and Great Wall in snow one day, it looks so beautiful.

我想在下雪天去北京，去看看长城，看起来太漂亮了。

Louise Robinson

So glad to see you were enjoying yourself and showed the world China’s state-of-the-art infrastructure!!

很高兴看到你玩得很开心，向世界展示了中国最先进的基础设施

RPRIMICI

I hope one day, Toronto (in Canada) can host the Winter Olympics.  Main problem is our mountains aren't very high.  We would need to build a mountain to accomodate the downhill skiing events -- crazy expensive for just skiing events that last only a week or so....

我希望有一天，加拿大的多伦多能主办冬奥会。主要问题是我们的山不是很高。

我们应该建造一座山，举办高山滑雪项目——然而对于只一周就举办完的滑雪运动来说，成本太高了..

Usually they sell bento and hot drinks on board, but because its possible that COSTA is a sponsor of the Olympic Games, the trains are obligated to sell only sponsored products. Maybe that is why there is only COSTA coffee in a bottle. Zhang Jia Kou is also too cold for me. One week before the games started it was snowing at -32 degrees Celsius! Crazy Siberian type of snow!

通常他们在火车上卖便当和热饮，COSTA可能是奥运会的赞助商，列车上只卖赞助商的产品，也许这就是为什么列车上只有COSTA瓶装咖啡。

Roy Qu

Beautiful place, thank you so much for sharing.

好美的地方，谢谢分享。

Blue Star

I wish I could see the Great Wall covered in snow. That would be fantastic!

我希望能看到白雪覆盖的长城。那太棒了!

Whenever I am in China, I always feel very safe even late at night and was told by my American friends it is probably the safest country in the whole world since the 21st century because of high resolution cctv cameras!

每当在中国时，我总感到非常安全，即使是在深夜，我的美国朋友告诉我，中国可能是21世纪以来世界上最安全的国家，到处都有监控
