If you are a visitor or planning a trip to Sjz, you can also say hello. Perhaps I (and maybe, we) can help you. The first tip is really the same as Helen Danger's - this is not a tourist town, despite the comments on the Sjz home page. Paul

Yes you can use sleepers on short trips, I have done it. My experience is that you can either book the sleeper in advance or you can buy a seat ticket and then upgrade on the train - there is an office on the train. If you don't speak Chinese (like me) make sure get someone to write down the things you want and the places you want to go to - it's the only way to get around.

Have you seen these:

Enjoy your trip.

GUEST25283	Hi Paul, are you still living in Shijiazhuang? Noticed that this thread is about a year ago. I'm thinking of making the move there in the next couple of months, would like to keep in touch. My email: yahoo.com\|l4china Karen

I am interested in travelling with her this summer or next to visit the area and see the sites. Karen, are you still there? Paul, any pointers or photos? Thanks!
