WE also have Z as in Zhida(non-stop),L as in Linshi(temperary),K as in Kuanche(fast train) and some without capital letters which are normal train. From the No you have, you can tell the direction of the trains.say even number-the trains point to Beijing. odd number-opposite. Btw,I think train is the cheapest way.

How long in advance do one has to order a ticket to be sure that there's room? And last: With such a ticket is one allowed to make stops underway and stay for some days in some of the cities that the train passes? Thanks in advance
