[quote=STOCKTOV,234520]Yes, Leopold and Tommorowneverdie are both right, of course: can't order tickets ahead. It's a bit of a pain, but just get used to going right back into the ticket hall the second you arrive in a city and buy your departure ticket. You won't have any trouble getting from Hangzhou to Zhengzhou. I have done that same journey. You might want to consider a different mode of travel between Zhengzhou and Luoyang. It's only about an hour and a half between the two cities, maybe two hours. I'm sure you're planning to see Shaolin temple and Shaolin is actually about halfway between Luoyang and Zhengzhou. So you could take a bus from Zhengzhou to Shaolin and check out Shaolin and the Song mountains (I recommend staying overnight there and climbing the mountains one day after seeing Shaolin...they're amazing--but try not to get ripped off in Shaolin). And then take another bus from Shaolin to Luoyang. If you don't feel comfortable taking the bus or staying overnight in Shaolin then it's easy to join a day trip tour from either Zhengzhou or Luoyang, and you can just stick with your original plan of taking the train between the two cities.[/quote]
