9张火车票，3天2440公里，我在中国地图上画了一个圈！

I’ve been planning this loop for six months and finally pulled it off this spring. There were plenty of surprises along the way—some good, some unexpected. To be honest, life on the train wasn’t the crowded, hectic mess I’d imagined. It was actually peaceful—a chance to just sit back, listen, and enjoy the ride. The contrast was so cinematic: moving from the lively, 'neighborhood' feel of the local market train to the quiet professionalism of the Z6 express. It felt like pure storytelling. And the food? Every single bite was a winner. Everything I tried was authentic and honestly, a must-recommend! I’ll admit, using nine tickets back-to-back while exploring and filming all day was exhausting. But as the opening chapter of my 'Beyond the Sleepers' series, I’m really happy with how it turned out. Can't wait to share more railway adventures with you soon.
