 | I plan to visit Xian in this August. I prefer to go there by train from Guangzhou. However, I heard that it is difficult to get the same day train ticket, especially the hard sleeper class. Is it true? Is there any way to book the ticket from internet. I am glad that somebody can give me the information about that. Thank you very much for your helping |

| welcome aboard, INGKA. It is very difficult to buy the same day train ticket, more difficult than to find a decent job, especially for long distance train. at peak time, e.g 51, 10.1,spring festival, July, September, to buy a long distance hard sleeper class is like to take a civil servant qualification test in china, you should have some relationship other than capacity. Normally we can buy a train ticket in seven days advance, in your case, it is strongly suggested to book the tickets as soon as possible. you can book the ticket through ticket agent, and they will deliver the ticket to where you live charging normally 5-10 yuan. it is hard to find english website resource to book train ticket though. |
