Thank you for your inquiry.

If you live in China and haven’t exit China within 14 days, you may not need this quarantine. According to the current information, travelers from low-infection area with green health code do not need a 14-days quarantine in Beijing. You need register at train station/airport and hotel once arrived.

Is the price same for children? Any minimum age for the ticket price?

There is some discount offer for children, usually around 50% off for a seat type and about 25% off for a bed. They judge by the height instead of age. Children under 150cm can enjoy the discount and each adult passenger can also take one child under 120cm for free, no seat for the child though.

Is it better to go by rail or by flight? How much is flight ticket to Harbin from Beijing?
Answers (1)
Answered by Patience from USA | Aug. 15, 2019 01:29

Flight is absolute much faster, around 2 hours only but the ticket price is also higher. Full economy class ticket is around CNY1600 per ticket. Even there is a good discount, the price is still higher than first class on high speed ride. If you do not mind of taking longer time on the way, rail service is cheaper.

What is the difference between G381 and D25?
Answers (1)
Answered by Langston from ITALY | Mar. 06, 2019 19:28
00Reply


For the speed (duration), time and stations. G381 departs from South Station in Beijing and D25 use the main station. The arrival station is the same anyway. The main difference would be the duration as they run on different speed. This also caused the price difference. The price almost doubled for G381.
