    See inside a 155 mph sleeper train connecting Hong Kong and Beijing

    Hong Kong’s new high-speed sleeper trains launched in summer 2024 and while they aren’t quite as fast as flying, or daytime bullet trains, what they do offer is a night’s rest. CNN takes a trip on the new service from Beijing which offers a perfect weekend getaway.

    I rode a bullet train from Beijing to Tianjin. Quite an experience. Top speed was something like 170 mph. I was told they go even faster to other cities that are farther apart.

    I love riding those trains.
    The slow train is ok, to a point. Can see more of the scenery because it's not zipping by. Just takes too long. We stopped riding the slow train.
