Considering all the time on either side of a flight (driving to the airport, parking, security, waiting for the flight, boarding, take off, etc), planes are really only faster if the train ride is more than four hours. And that isn't even considering how much more enjoyable it is to ride trains.
Yeah, listening to the bells and blips as someone three rows up plays majiang without headphones is so awesome. And China train meals are the worst. At least in other countries you can get off and buy food from vendors on the platform.
Seriously? You've never been trapped on a train with some kid playing a tablet game without earphones? Or had the awful box meals? If you're going to say the box meals are good...Chinese people don't even think that.

That’s really cool. Also yeah that’s something I’m looking forward to if the trip turns out to be possible is the train ride.
Plus you can actually do stuff on trains because they're so chill and comfy.

That simply does not match my experience with Chinese high speed rail at all. Why do you hate China so much and tell these lies?
