Scenery along the Way

The bullet train runs from a big modern city to another, passing by the famous Karst landscape. Along the way, you may see busy cities squeezed with skyscrapers as well as quiet rural villages surrounded by clear rivers and green hills; you may see urban white collars rushing to work, as well as farmers working hard in the paddy fields; you may see roads full of flowing vehicles, as well as buffalos wondering leisurely on countryside field ridges…Totally two different visages and life styles of China. It is a rail ride, also a short China discovery trip.

Major Attractions:

In Shenzhen: Splendid China - Folk Culture Villages, Window of the World, Shenzhen Happy Valley, Dameisha Beach, Xiaomeisha Beach…

In Guilin and nearby areas: Elephant Trunk Hill, Reed Flute Cave, Seven Stars Park, Li River, Impression Sanjie Liu, West Street (Xi Jie), Longji Rice Terraces…

Second Class Carriage

Which one to choose - high speed or overnight sleeper train?

High speed:
They are very fast, saving a lot of time. Usually, they are departing from and arriving at newly-built modern stations with nice environment. Besides, the trains are punctual in most cases. Passengers don’t need to worry about time delay. The facilities and environment onboard are also better than normal ones.

Overnight:
Running overnight, they save day time and accommodation spending, suitable for those budget travelers. However, as the duration is relatively long and the environment onboard are not so nice; a sleeper is recommended than a seat.

My family were very impressed by your service, all of our train tickets were confirmed less than 1 hour after we paid for them. Collecting tickets and taking trains in China is very easy, there are instructions in English everywhere in station.

We booked train tickets from Shenzhen to Guilin during our recent trip in early in August. Everything went well as plan, in fact better than our expectation. Before the trip, I heard many stories about scam and language problem. These stories worried me a lot, but I found out that it is completely not necessary. Thank you for helping us with the tickets which made this holiday a life memory！

The booking process was efficient and accurate. We had no problems exchanging our voucher for tickets at the pick up window in Shenzhen.
Check in at the train station was very easy even though no English was spoken. Signs are in English giving directions to the pick up office and once the voucher was presented the tickets were issued immediately. The waiting area is well equipped with a variety of restaurants, shops and restrooms which were all very clean. Boarding was on time and the first class car was spacious, quiet and clean. Would not hesitate to use your service again in the future....More

Thank you very much for all of your help in arranging our trains around China, we had an excellent time. We would like to share my idea as below:

1. TCG IS Excellent. Very helpful, quick to respond to questions/queries, very knowledgeable and obviously experienced. We were kept updated on our tickets/purchases.

2. The trains were brilliant, very organized and efficient. Arriving at the stations were quite hectic (Shenzhen North station was lovely and new), but security was always reasonably quick, ticket checks were a bit of a squash, waiting hall were either crowded or not required and staff were very helpful. Finding our carriage was very easy and everything went smoothly. This 3 hours trip went very fast and we reach Guilin at planned time. It was an excellent way of traveling. We highly recommended it to other travelers.

Many thanks again for all of your help. We have already recommended you to friends and family thinking of traveling to China - It was all a great experience and you made everything easy for us.

Warmest regards,
Stef

Asked by Josiah from BELGIUM | Sep. 02, 2019 01:38Reply
Hello, is there anyone knows which station is closer to our hostel? West or North?
We are staying at Secret Courtyard Resort Hotel and plan to take afternoon train to Shenzhen. I am not sure which station should we choose and how early should we depart from hostel to catch the train in time. Any advice will be appreciated!

The North Station is a little bit closer. You'd better take a taxi which takes around 30min. You need to reach the station 1.5 hours in advance for ticket collection, direction and safety check. If you have the tickets in hand, 40min should be enough for safety check and finding your checkin gate.

Can I buy a ticket from Guilin to Shenzhen but get on the train from Yangshuo?
I need a ticket on April 23 but all the tickets are sold out. Can I buy a ticket from Guilin to Shenzhen on G2901 and hop on from Yangshuo.

It is a pity that your plan cannot work. Passengers can hop on from halfway, but the problem is that G2901 does not stop in Yangshuo! It pass by directly with no stop. So you would need a plan B like to make a transfer in Guilin or bus.

They are different stations in the city, the one to use depends on the train you will take. They stop at different stations and you can check it from this website. Your hotel is closer to Guilin Station, only about 2km away. So if possible, G2908 should be best option, if not, then North station would be better than West Station.

what is the type of seating in First class and business class.

Business class is the best class can be offered. The seat is very comfortable and you can lie down. There are 3 seats in each row, 2 on one side and the other one on the other side. The first class is also comfortable to use but not as good as business class. There are 4 seats in each row, 2 seats on each side. You cannot lie down on it. In fact you can check some photos about these seats on this website.
