last September, we was planning to ride the train from Guangzhou to Bejing in early october, but i can speak no chinese language, so i asked one of my chinese friends to help me purchase a train ticket to beijing, of couse the soft berth. my friend asked me on which day because according to what he said, those tickets go on sale 10 days in advance. foutunately, it is still half a month away.
But when it came to the sale day, my friend got back with empty hand telling me no more tickets, all were sold out. i was surprised and asked why? didn't they say 10 days in advance? he said it was china's National day, tickets are very tight. i thought it didn't make any sense, as i presented my demands 10 days prior indeed. i have no other way to get train ticket but fly instead.
finally this friend told me the truth. in china, not like some other countries, train tickets could not be booked online or telephone or whatsoever. people need to go to railway station or ticket office when it's on sale. the huge issue is those tickets are not necessarily all bought by passengers who want to take the train. a large amount of the tickets go to the "black market", people who control these ticket are wishing to raise the price, if you can offer a higher cost, then maybe you can get one. i learned that this thing is quite common in china. maybe your situation is sort like mine.
