Thank you for your inquiry.
If you live in China and haven’t exit China within 14 days, you may not need this quarantine. According to the current information, travelers from low-infection area with green health code do not need a 14-days quarantine in Beijing. You need register at train station/airport and hotel once arrived.

There is some discount offer for children, usually around 50% off for a seat type and about 25% off for a bed. They judge by the height instead of age. Children under 150cm can enjoy the discount and each adult passenger can also take one child under 120cm for free, no seat for the child though.

Flight is absolute much faster, around 2 hours only but the ticket price is also higher. Full economy class ticket is around CNY1600 per ticket. Even there is a good discount, the price is still higher than first class on high speed ride. If you do not mind of taking longer time on the way, rail service is cheaper.

What is the difference between G381 and D25?

For the speed (duration), time and stations. G381 departs from South Station in Beijing and D25 use the main station. The arrival station is the same anyway. The main difference would be the duration as they run on different speed. This also caused the price difference. The price almost doubled for G381.

Thank you for your inquiry.
Late December or early January is a hot season for traveling to Northeast China like Harbin, Shenyanng and Yabuli etc. Also it is during the Ice and Snow Festival time, so the tickets in and out of Harbin are indeed under great demands. It is recommended to buy the ticket in advance and choose some back up trains or seat class as well in case your most preferred one is not available. Hope for your kind understanding.
