China Rail Travel
Train Journeys in China
China’s rail network has expanded dramatically over the past decade with the construction of an extensive high-speed train service. Journeys that were traditionally taken on overnight sleeper trains can now be completed in just a few hours. Massive investment into the rail system has produced an efficient, reliable, high-tech service with safe, comfortable bullet trains covering vast distances in shorter journey times. Domestic train travel in China is a wonderful way to see more of the countryside and scenery away from the big cities. Many high-speed rail journeys have now become quicker than flying.
Facilities on Board
Daytime high-speed trains have first and second-class seats; some have business class. We always book first-class to ensure our customers travel in spacious and comfortable surroundings. The high-speed trains have western toilets, luggage racks for general luggage as well as luggage closets for larger items. Free WiFi is available aboard some trains. Free drinkable hot water is available onboard and there is a dining car serving a selection of food and drink. An on-board attendant will also serve snacks and drinks from a trolley. Passengers in business class will be served with complimentary meals and beverages.
With such an extensive high-speed rail network there is so much potential for creating exciting itineraries exploring China by train. Whatever itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we will be pleased to prepare a proposal that suits your requirements.
