Beijing - Datong Railway Map

Passengers need to be careful about the departure and arrival stations as these rides use different stations. Please double check your station before departure to avoid unnecessary inconvenience on the traveling day.

Stopovers along the way: Nankou, Kangzhuang, Shacheng, Xuanhua, Shalingzi West, Chaigoubu, Tianzhen, Yanggao

If you are going to travel overnight, it is advisable to plan your trip and book the ticket in advance since these overnight ones are usually popular among Chinese people and their tickets are usually in great demand. For an overnight trip, it is more recommended to book a berth like soft sleeper or hard sleeper instead of seat. Hard seat carriages can be crowded during busy dates.

Passengers who hold the sleeper tickets will be offered a plastic card as boarding pass when board the train and your paper ticket will be changed back when your destination is approaching. In this way, passengers will not oversleep and miss their destination. Passengers who booked seats need to pay attention to the broadcast to make preparation for leaving in advance.

After boarding, passengers can arrange their luggage on luggage rack above seats or under lower berths. Please take your valuables with you. For travelers who are not in favor of simple Chinese food, it would be good to prepare some food on your own before boarding.
