[quote=ANDREWHARRIS,223160]Hi,My wife and I are coming to China from late March and plan to travel by train and stay in the following cities:Beijing ->Tianjin ->Datong ->Hohhot ->Taiyuan ->Xian ->Luoyang/Shaolinsi ->Nanjing ->Shanghaiwith a couple of extra days thrown in for travel etc. it will be for a total of 3 1/2 weeks.Our main concern is that we have seen people saying that getting seats on trains can take up to a couple of days to organise. Is this true? some of the cities we are visiting we are just passing through and only want to stop for a day to break up the train trip, would this be a problem (being only 1 day)? Is it realistic that if we can't get a hard seater we will always be able to get a soft sleeper (if it means we can stick to our schedule we don't mind paying the extra yuan)? We also read that suitcases are not recommended for train travel. Is this true or is it ok? Is there much theft on the trains?Thanks very muchAndrew[/quote]
