The journey was pleasant. Train, waiting room, platform is clean and pleasant
It was a great experience. I really appreciate the speed, accurate responses and positive customer service attitude.
It is really great infrastructure in China. I liked the neat and clean waiting rooms, train ticket checking facilities and onboard neat and clean facilities.
I traveled for two months across China, and everything was good with train and flight reservations.
Also when one flight was canceled by the air company, you scheduled a new one for me.
Next time I’ll come in China (and Tibet), for sure I’ll call you again. Thank you
