My question is, can we book the trains 2-3 days in advance without any trouble i.e land in Beijing and immediately book the next leg for 3 days later? I've done a fair amount of train travel and normally this isn't a problem, but 2 years ago in India we had to book the overnight sleeper trains up to 180 days in advance! I have been told it is not the same for China, and as there are no major holidays around that time this shouldn't be a problem... We are a group of 3 by the way, and looking at hard sleepers (i've checked out times and a proper route with potential prices already) Thanks in advance

Hi All,

Got a quick question,

Planning a trip to China landing in Beijing 1st Nov, idea is as follows:

3 nights in Beijing, then overnight train to Xian
2 nights in Xian, then overnight train to Guilin
3 nights in Guilin then overnight train to Guangzho, then train to Hong Kong
2 nights in Hong Kong, then fly out evening of the last day.

My question is, can we book the trains 2-3 days in advance without any trouble i.e land in Beijing and immediately book the next leg for 3 days later?

I've done a fair amount of train travel and normally this isn't a problem, but 2 years ago in India we had to book the overnight sleeper trains up to 180 days in advance!

Thanks in advance
