I could not find the detail of train K709 from the online time table.
Where is the exact station in Beijing and where could I buy the ticket.
From the website, I found only N211 train that take about 4 hour for Beijing - Chende.

You can get the ticket at the main station in Beijing, the central station with the clock. I recommend soft seats, the hard seat train is a horrific old coal train.

Go right to the Main Beijing Train Station next to 2nd ring road.

They don't speak English in this city, so don't expect the taxi drivers to understand a word you are saying. Print the address, or learn the names of the closest landmark you are willing to walk from!

English is spoken to those with higher educations. The taxi drivers only have limited education for the most part. But if you plan out your trip or ask someone that lives here before hand can make your trip simpler and easier for you.

Is there a bus from Chengde that goes to Datong, so that one does not has to make a time-consuming stop-over in Beijin first?

NO. You should make a transfer at Shijiazhuang or Beijing. Many of us would like to take train to the place via Beijing.
Thank you Mr Qi. I'll be in Chengde the first days of June (after 4 days in Beijing) and then I will travel to Daton, thus probably changing trains in Beijing again. Thank you very much for your help! Xixi
