Overnight Trains between Shenzhen and Guilin

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.

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
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

The booking process was great as you continuously updated us the status of the booking (booking made, payment received, tickets were purchased, sent to the hotel, received by the receptionist of the hotel, etc). To some may be annoying but to us it was a great way to keep the track.
What we also found useful was your guide to come earlier to the stations etc as yes the Shenzhen North Station was busy that you wanted to get there earlier
The only hassle was the payment process through Paypal as they somehow were changing the internal process that they froze my payment to you. I'd suggest you also receive payment through regular credit card for easier booking.
Train (1st class) was quite comfortable, too bad we got the seats right beside the train wall, not the windows otherwise we could have seen more of the scenery.
Don't expect everyone in the station and train could speak English. ...More
Boarding signs were clear and easy to see. The train was very comfortable and I would have no problem making a similar journey in the future. The tourism office at Guilin station was in a back room away from the main public areas, but the staff were reasonably helpful. The taxi at Guilin station was not helpful and tried to charge a high price. Apart from that, Guilin was a lovely place to visit. ...More
Be aware that Shenzhen North Station for high speed trains has second floor restaurants but the escalators have never been working and there is no elevator. Also, if you only see squat toilets on the high speed trains, keep looking and you will find a western toilet for disabled passengers and those that don't like to squat.
