The train journey from Beijing to Xian was good. We had lower bunks which was easier for us. The toilet needed flushing by using a bucket of water. The waiting area at Beijing is very crowded with all sorts of people. The train arrived on time and we managed to get some sleep. Tea or coffee can be purchased in the morning but it is a good idea to take some snacks with you....More
The day before I was to take my trip I called to get more information about what gate to go to at the Beijing West railway station and to verify that my train times were still correct as stated on my tickets. I was told to go to the north entrance and the person confirmed my train timetable. If I had not called, I would not have know what entrance to go to. It would have been good if I had been told this in a prior email.
I was happy that I booked a luxury soft sleeper. I was able to sleep well on the train and the cabin and toilet were clean and comfortable. Since this was my first visit to China from America, it was very helpful that the Bejing West railway station had signs and announcements in both Chinese and English. I was able to figure out my waiting room and which gate and platform to go to fairly easily. On my return trip from Xian, there was very little English signs and no English announcements so I had to spend a little more time to figure out where to wait, etc. but since the station was small, I was able to find everything I needed. If I visit China again, I would travel by train again as it was convenient....More
