2. 400 pairs of faster 'Fuxinghao' high speed trains will be operated during the period.

I slept between cities saving a hotel charge as we had soft sleepers. The trains I found more reliable than the planes. I travelled with a cup and a teapot. The trains always had hot water to make tea. The buffet car had a wonderful whole fish which I enjoyed very much.
It was a great ways to see the different geographical features in China....More
I think China has very good train system for the Shanghai / Nanjing and Nanjing / Hangzhou routes, and that the Nanjing South and Hangzhou East stations in particular are very modern and efficient, and that train is a very comfortable and efficient way to travel these routes.
As recommended by Travel China Guide, arrival at train station at least 40 minutes before train departure time is good advice - myself I always try to be at train station at least 1 hour before train departure, but 40 minutes before is probably very sufficient.
I also like that the Nanjing Main, Nanjing South, and Hangzhou East stations have modern and efficient Metro stations connected to their stations. Thank you for your assistance....More
Checking in at the train station went smothly (all very modern), and the train and service aboard was good.
Would absolutely use the booking service again.
The train station was packed and there was long queue for our luggage to be scanned by the machine. However we were glad that the high speed train ride was smooth and stable.
I would highly recommend your service to my friend and will definitely use your service again.
