    We just finished the two days trip to Xian. We took the overnight train for our round from Beijing to Xian. We booked the tickets through the website of TravelChinaGuide.com. We four shared one compartment. The space is large and the train is clean. The staff on the train are friendly. We can also buy some snacks box food on the train. It is very convenient.

    Before we ordered the tickets on the website, we had talked with the agent via LiveChat, just like talking on WeChat. It is more convenient and time-saving than email. We were clear about every step and she was really helpful.
