We booked all our train tickets through the Travel China website, and we even changed a ticket after it was booked, with no problems at all. TCG offer personal service on all issues around bookings which is wonderful service. When we arrived in Guangzhou we went to the station and were able to pick up all our tickets for the journey, which is making our travels in China so easy. Great,to have such an easy and reliable site for booking transport in China

Train experience : seats could be more comfortable , back rests are hard.
Refreshments offered on the train could be of a better quality e.g coffee .

I highly recommend Travel China Guide! The consultant I worked with was Monica. She was very professional and helpful with all of my questions. I chose the option to have all of my train tickets delivered to my local Chinese hotel. It was a breeze to do this, because everything was taken care of when I got to the train station. I didn't have to wait in line to redeem my ticket. I went straight to the security line to enter the station.

I also reviewed their local city guides to see what the main attractions were in each city I visited during my three-week trip in China last month....More

We have been very happy with the train booking through TravelChinaGuide. This is the second major trip we booked through your service and we have found the service most helpful. It is easy to travel by train in China, but your service makes it better for non-Chinese to book and print the tickets.

We would like to thank you for the service you provided us for our last trip to China. Again you showed us your professionalism. You provided us with enough advices with regards to the train first and second classes. You managed to change our tickets twice without any problems. We had no problems at all in collecting our train tickets at the Guangzhou South Railway Station using your ticket pickup numbers. The fast train journeys themselves were excellent. Like some other fast train stations we've been in China, the waiting room was really good with shops, restaurants and fast foods. The boarding was very well organized with boarding signs and announcements in Chinese and English. Inside the train, the seats were comfortable with enough room for our luggage. We did not buy any foods or drink on the train but they were available. There was a hot water station in each car where you could make your cup of tea or coffee (of course if you have your own cup) and the toilet was also clean....More

The service we received was great from yourself in the booking of our tickets. In particular when you helped to send our tickets to the hotel where we were staying in Guilin. Your response to our questions was always quick & helpful.
The journey from Gaungzhou to Hong Kong was very easy & straight forward too. Many thanks again for your help.

check out from Guangzhou airport to Guangzhou North railway station
Hi, my Singapore Airlines flight from Singapore to Guangzhou Baiyun airport is ETA 12:20 noon. Is it wise to buy train tickets for my family from Guangzhou North to GZ South, train departure at 13:58 (G6075)?

We will then take another train from GZ south on to Guilin. How much time do you suggest for train stopover at GZ south?

I think the time is not enough to catch G6075 at 13:58. You may need to prepare around 1 hour at the airport for immigration and luggage collection. And it takes around 30min to reach North station. So you do not have time for ticket collection and boarding process. I think you may consider to use metro service to GZ South directly, 1.5 hours on the way.

I am not sure which wharf you are heading too since there are two of them. But Guilin Station, the main station is the nearest one to both of them. The next one should be North Station and finally West Station. I think Zhujiang wharf is more often used for international travelers. By taxi, it should be around 45min from the main station, 50min from North Station and around 60min from West Station.

If you are flexible with the travel time, it is OK to buy it at station directly. If you need to travel at an appoint time, it would be better to book it in advance to guarantee availability.
