Why This High-Speed SLEEPER Runs in Broad Daylight

Did you know you can ride a high-speed sleeper train in the middle of the afternoon? We are taking you on a unique intercity railway journey from Guangzhou to Zhuhai to experience this rare transit operation first-hand.

Instead of letting massive 16-car sleeper trains sit idle at the station during the day, the transit authority completely repurposes them. This specific train travels all the way from Shanghai, but instead of wasting platform space waiting for its evening return trip, it runs local daytime routes to maximize efficiency. We board at Guangzhou South Station to see how the lower beds are converted into spacious seating, accommodating 60 passengers per compartment. Hitting speeds of 194 km/h, we pass through the Shunde district and Zhongshan city before finally reaching the dead-end terminal at Zhuhai Station. It is a brilliant masterclass in mass transit resource management.
