This is a Deutsche Bahn Class 612 tilting train in Germany.Modern tilting train technology was widely developed and tested from the 1960s onward to help trains handle curves more smoothly and quickly by leaning inward during turns, reducing the sideways forces felt by passengers.The technology is especially useful on winding and mountainous rail routes, where building entirely new high-speed lines would be difficult or expensive, and it is still actively used today on many rail networks.📹kilist

I live in Shanghai and travel across remote parts of China. It’s been 14 years. Let me say this clearly!You do NOT need to hitchhike in China like @lexfridman did. China is not some 1990s “eat, pray, backpack for survival” fantasy movie people project onto it.Travel in China is incredibly affordable. You take a high-speed train for the price of a dinner in many Western countries and suddenly you’re sitting next to farmers, workers, students, grandparents, entrepreneurs, people from every corner
