Although the normal types cost less compared with bullet types, there are less departures or arrivals, and the environment in the carriages is not good. If you choose hard seats, especially during the holidays, it will be rather crowded and make you tiresome. Thus, if possible, you'd better choose bullet type. However, if you have no other choice rather than normal types, you'd better purchase a sleeper even though it's a short journey. The sleeper will be more comfortable and you can have a more comfortable trip.

Coach

Passengers can take a coach to travel from one city to the other and the ticket fare is almost the same as the second class seats on bullet trains. But it takes about 4.5 hours, a longer and not that comfortable journey, compared with a high speed rail trip.

We booked the train tickets from Beijing to Harbin. We chose to collect the paper tickets at train station. In the beginning, we were worried, as we cannot speak Chinese. We did not know how to collect the paper tickets at train station. After we receive the confirmation, we felt we can do it, as the confirmation is both in English and Chinese, We only print out the information and show it to the staff, which we did in China. The staff issued us the paper tickets quickly. Everything worked perfectly. ...More

Due to business reason, we come to China several times a year. The last time we visited was in December, 2019. Long before, we ought to be in line to collect the paper tickets at the train station. While, last time, we were informed that we only need to show the passport to check in. How convenient it is. Under such situation, the passengers could get to the train station around 30 minutes before the departure time.

When we've had challenges getting last-minute bookings, China Travel has been diligent 24/7 working with me via WeChat to get the booking sorted. Thanks to China Trains.

Thank you for your inquiry.

As a travel operator, we offer freee inquiry. However, for ticket booking service, we will charge a service fee CNY38 per ticket. There is no extra service fee if buying a ticket at train station ticket counter. Hope for your kind understanding.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Some trains between Chengdu and Chongqing now use e ticket. Passenger holding passport for travel still need to go to railway station ticket counter to verify their passports and tickets. Then passport holders can go to waiting hall and checkin by using passports. Therefore, please reach the station earlier in advance for verification process.

Over 30 high speed rides a day from the North Station to Chengdu, most of them stop at Chengdu East Station. If you are flexible with departure time, it is no problem to buy the ticket at station after your arrival. If you are a little tight with travel time, it is safer to book tickets in advance.

chengdu to Chongqing seat selection
Are we more likely to get our two seats assigned together if we purchase 1st class than if we purchase 2nd?

It mainly depends on the ticket availability, not seat class. If there are still may seats left, it is possible to get the seats together no matter for first class or second class.

Seat choice chengdu to Chongqing
On the high speed trains from Chengdu to Chongqing, does the passenger choose seat assignments in 2nd class?

You can choose prefered seat like A, B, C, D or F, but the final seats are still assigned by the railway system. If there are still many seats left, they may give your prefered seats. If less seats left, it may just assigned them randomly.
