We can’t go to China because the flight was cancelled by the airline due to the health reason. Thank you for the refund and we have received it. If we come back to China, we will contact you again for a train ticket, as we trust your company. You did a great job for your clients.

We are a family of four, my Wife, two children, and, I, we visited Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang, all sightseeing spots were less crowded and we enjoyed so much. Fenghuang old ancient town is well-protected and reserved. We heard that the bullet trains would be available soon and hope that we will have a chance to experience it in the future.

This is my first trip to Shenyang to visit my online English students. I bought high speed train tickets on Travel China Guide website. Everything went exactly as explained. The email communication with the booking consultant was clear and easy to understand. My Chinese friend was amazed I could buy train tickets online as a foreigner. I will definitely use their service again.

I made some orders from TravelChinaGuide and they helped me with the tickets to Beijing/ Shanghai and Guilin/ Hong Kong West Kowloon.
Their charges were nothing compare what I would face if I had to purchase the tickets by myself at station with body language only. I will definitely use their service again.

TravelChinaGuide helped us to book our tickets from Beijing to Ulaanbaatar. The tickets were issued well and when we checked in the hotel, they were waiting for us at the reception as we expected. I would recommend this agency if you have no source to order this kind of international train.

It is amazing to visit Beijing, Pingyao and Xian. I think it is the best decision we have ever made to get there for our first travel in China. You can feel Chinese people is very nice and always willing for help. We also experienced bullet trains and Second Class Seat is recommended for the short journey.

I will go to Wuhan next month. Is now a good time?
Is Wuhan OK to visit, and which train do you suggest?

There is no problem to visit Wuhan right now. From Beijing to Wuhan, the high speed trains and the ordinary overnight trains are all available. The high speed takes about 4.5-5.5 hours, while the overnight trains take over 10 hours. If you take latter one, I think the best choice is Z285 21:08/07:48 +1. Train G487 10:52/15:25 and train G527 18:14/ 22:52 takes less time.

Travel to the Tianjin Port to take a cruise ship.
I need to travel from Beijing to the Tianjin Home Cruise Port. My ship is Royal Caribbean port.

I need to know if the "Beijing to Tianjin" train route will go as far south as Tanggu?

"Tianjin" is not "Tanggu". Tianjin should be the Tianjin station in city center. If you want to go to Tanggu, you need input your destination as "Tanggu" directly.

I think this station should work 24 hours but maybe not all the parts. The waiting Hall should be OK. If you have a paper ticket for that day, you should be able to enter there and wait until your boarding time. However, this station is a busy station, it may not easy to found empty seat.

Sure, you can do it at any railway station and in any city (except HK perhaps). You do not need to go to the departure station.

currently there is a normal overnight ride Z98 runs from HK to Beijing every next day. It would take 24 hours on the way. There will be direct high speed rides added since Sep or Oct this year. If you will travel during the end of the this year, you can wait for this new high speed ride.
