We’ve used Travel China to book Train tickets several times and have never been less than extremely happy! China train travel offers something all Americans NEED to experience. Overcoming the language, scheduling, and purchasing challenges are all offered by a simple online purchase with Travel China. Simply a must do!

We had a tough experience during our train trip. We missed the train. We wanted to get the train but the train left and they had no alternate times except hard seat option on a slow night train because they were "sold out". Moreover the people at the train station claim they speak No English! We finally brought another ticket from Shanghai to Beijing for next morning. We are very sad that we lost one day in Beijing, but we appreciate your suggestion about changing to cheap seat ticket to get some money back. Trip. Thanks for all of your assistance....More

Great booking and train station. Train was not one of the modern bullet trains but still very comfortable for a secondary route. Wish they had western sit down toilets but no worries.

The conductor for our car was very friendly and working hard on his English. He also made it a great experience.

Thanks for buying the Beijing – Ulaanbaatar tickets. You are reliable and informative, giving us the latest and correct train details to Ulaanbaatar. Besides, as we know, the price you offered is the lowest price than somewhere else. Once we checked in the hotel, we got the envelope from reception. Thanks for all you have done.

I like the tickets delivery service. They can check my hotel reservation before my check-in. So the tickets were already waiting for me at my hostel after checking in so I didn't had any problems at all.

I booked train tickets back to Mongolia from Beijing. Before I booked tickets, I called TravelChinaGuide, the lady is really nice and answers my questions patiently. They emailed me every step about the process so that I know clearly about my ticket status. When we arrived at the hotel, the ticket was there. Everything is awesome.

The booking was fine. I easily picked up my tickets. However, I missed my train, was unable to get another train timely and I canceled my trip. The Beijing train station was very crowded and not user friendly.. It would help to be prepared for that and receive some advice and suggestions for getting around in these huge train stations.

The train journey from Beijing to Xian was good. We had second class seat which was fine for us. We take some snacks and the train arrived on time. Both Beijing and Xian have a lot of delicious food. For food hobbyist, this trip is very satisfying.

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.

In fact I think the best one to use is Tianjin Railway Station as it is the cloest one to your hotel, not South or West Station. By taxi, it only takes around 10min for 3km.
