LAOS-CHINA High-Speed Train to VIENTIANE

乘坐老挝-中国高铁去万象

After a lovely start to our trip in Laos, exploring the city of Luang Prabang, seeing the gorgeous waterfalls and eating delicious local Lao foods - it’s time to head to the capital. We are so excited to be doing this trip on the brand-new Lao-China high-speed railway.

在老挝有了一个愉快的开始后，我们探索了琅勃拉邦市，看了美丽的瀑布，吃了老挝当地美食——是时候前往首都了。我们非常兴奋能够乘坐全新的中老高铁进行这次旅行。

This train actually goes all the way from China, with future plans potentially even involving stations in Singapore. Today, we are simply taking it from Luang Prabang to Vientiane, the capital of Laos. With ticket sales being a bit more confusing than we are used to for this train, and only Chinese or Lao nationals being able to purchase the tickets, we were just happy to get our hands on some! The trip was gorgeous and SO much faster than the other option… taking a 10-hour bus!

这趟列车是从中国一路开过来的，未来的规划甚至可能延伸至新加坡。今天，我们只是从琅勃拉邦乘坐这趟高铁去老挝的首都万象。这趟列车的售票情况比我们以前看到的要复杂一些，而且只有中国人或老挝人能买到票，我们很高兴能买到一些票！这趟旅行太棒了，比坐10个小时的巴士快多了!

I hope this new high-speed railway will bring more prosperity to Laos, and long live the friendship between China and Laos!

我希望这条新高铁能给老挝带来更多繁荣，中老友谊万岁!

I think all the tunnels along the railroad is key to Laos problems. Travelling by road or ship goods across country takes so much time that its an adventure. The railroad cuts right through the mountains, so its going to be huge for Laos.

我认为铁路沿线的所有隧道是解决老挝问题的关键。公路旅行或运输货物穿越国家需要很多时间，这是一种冒险。这条铁路穿过群山，对老挝来说意义重大。

You are not alone saying that Laotian landscape looks like Switzerland . I hope to travel to Laos once again. Enjoy your trip!

你不是唯一一个说老挝的风景像瑞士的。我希望能再去一次老挝。祝你旅途愉快！

we were looking forward to making this journey tomorrow but... a last minute change of plan has led to us staying in Laos for an extra month and do an epic road trip! We cannot wait!

我们很期待明天的旅程，但是最后一分钟计划的改变让我们在老挝多呆了一个月，来一次史诗般的自驾游！迫不及待了！

The train is cool. The only regret is nothing much to see on the way apart from mountains. I salute you guys for being brave and adventurous enough to travel in a place you guys don't know much about.

这列车很酷。唯一遗憾的是，除了山，一路上什么也看不见。向你们致敬，你们有足够的勇气和冒险精神去一个你们不太了解的地方旅行。

As a Chinese, Im so happy to see this progressive relationship between China and Laos.

作为一个中国人，我很高兴看到中老两国关系的递进。

Vientiane is very close to Nongkhai province, north-eastern Thailand ,where the hi speed train will connect to Bangkok Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.

Enjoy traveling na kha

万象离泰国东北部的廊开省非常近，那里的高铁将连接泰国曼谷、马来西亚和新加坡。好好享受旅行吧

在老挝乘坐高铁旅行非常愉快，感觉非常奇妙。祝您在老挝首都旅行愉快。

Really appreciate the train info. We will be there in February. Was ho to avoid a connecting flight to Hanoi by taking the train to Vientiane. Hopefully ticket purchase requirements will be relaxed in the coming months.

非常感谢你提供的列车信息。我们将在二月去那里。想坐开往万象的火车，避免转机到河内。希望未来几个月购票要求会放宽。

Bagus

Next time you must be trying Indonesia's Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Train in mid 2023

下次你一定要试试印尼雅加达-万隆高铁，2023年6月开通

Did this train from Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang a couple of weeks back. It felt like the staff were ordering the passengers around like school kids.

几周前坐过这趟列车，从万荣到琅勃拉邦。工作人员对乘客发号施令，就像对学生一样。

Tamara Claire

I loved Laos when I went there in the 1990s, so great they have a train now.

我上世纪90年代去了老挝，很喜欢那里，太棒了，他们现在有火车了，太棒了。

It looks like a very nice train. It just looks like everybody is very close to each other and the seats are not as large as I would like to think they would be.

这高铁看起来非常漂亮。看起来每个人都离得很近，座位也没有我想象的那么大。

Lucas Bettoni

Thank you for all the tips, great video! I will travel to Laos April, next year, and I was not sure about taking that train to Vientiane, I would like to go to Vang Vieng first, but a two hours trip seems so much better, I think I will change my plans.

明年4月我要去老挝旅行，我不确定要不要坐火车去万象，我想先去万荣，两个小时的车程似乎更好，我想我要改计划。

That’s so weird, I was in Laos in June and I bought those tickets at the ticket office at the station. No problems at all. In fact in Luang Prabang there’s an official ticket office in the town.

这太奇怪了，我6月份在老挝，我在火车站的售票处买到了票，完全没问题。事实上，琅勃拉邦有一个官方售票处。

The bright sunshine in Southeast Asia alone is worth the whole trip, have fun!

光是东南亚明媚的阳光就值得你走一趟，祝你玩得开心！

Wouw, what a super-nice hotel in Vientiane. It's very cheap also, consider the space and facilities.

哇，万象的酒店真不错，也很便宜，考虑到其空间和设施。

Damn, Lao already has a high speed train while Vietnam still hasn't even had a proper modern metro line in HCM city

老挝已经有高铁了，而越南胡志明市甚至还没有像样的现代化地铁

Enjoy your time in Laos

祝你在老挝玩得愉快

Why not travel all the way to Kunming, China by the train from Vientiane should it suit you somehow later on? Yunnam province is kind of the paradise for vloggers from all across China and beyond, just for your information.

为什么不从万象坐火车去中国昆明呢？对来自中国各地和世界各地的博主来说，云南就是天堂。

Why so many people complaining that "160 km/h" is not High-Speed enough? The train is passing through challenging mountain terrain and tunnels, which cannot be compared with routes on flat terrain with 250+ km/h, due to safety reason.

为什么这么多人抱怨“160公里/小时”不够高速？列车穿越具有挑战性的山地地形和隧道，由于安全原因，无法与时速能达到250公里以上的平坦地形相比。

at least there's not only me who don't understand the audio announcement in the waiting hall. Stay safe and have fun in Laos

至少不止我一个人听不懂候车厅的广播。注意安全，在老挝玩得开心！

They need a good online booking system .... and add more trains!

他们需要一个好的在线购票系统，增加车次！
