TRAIN TRAVEL IN CHINA IS EXCELLENT WAY TO GO.

by DennyP

%TRAINS Travelling by train in China is an excellent way to travel. China has one of the most vast train and railway networks in the world. The trains are clean, comfortable, fast ,reasonably quiet and with good security. I found travelling across China a great experience. Although I Always carry my own food and water. Train water can be very dubious...Just fine for washing but not drinking. The restaurant cars were excellent with fast , cheap, hot, with a big selection of tasty Chinese dishes... The majority of my train journeys were long and with sleepers...These were clean , cheap, secure, and warm..I will return to China soon to travel across the country from east to west..which will I am sure be a great journey. China has the fastest train in the world that travels from/to Shanghai from Beijing and then there is aslo the highest train in the world now is found here with the...

Transportation Trap

by Chicha15

Getting around China can be expensive if you rely on cabs. They seem to hike up the price for tourists most of the time. We tried to get a cheaper option by taking the motorized rig but once at our destination they more than doubled the price and little did we know we were not even at our destination! Beware of these guys! they will promise but not deliver! Maybe calling a taxi from the hotel woudl be a safer bet...

Hong Kong airport to Dongguan

by ant1606

The best option to reach Dongguan (and other locations) from Hong Kong airport - and vice-versa - is through a "Limousine Service" aboard 8-seater minvans. Tickets for the Trans-Island Limousine service company can be bought at the C02 counter in HKG airport terminal for the price of about 210-240 HK$ one way. Service is provided directly to major hotels. Travel time is about 3-4 hours including the HK-China border crossing via bridge into Shenzhen where long lines can be expected at the inspection booths.

Flying to China from the U.S.

by meteorologist1

When you fly to China, you will likely either arrive in Beijing, Shanghai, or Hong Kong. Airlines from the United States, at least, only serve these cities. To my knowledge, there are direct flights from Chicago, San Francisco, and Newark on United Airlines. American Airlines also has direct flights from Chicago as well as Los Angeles. Delta Airlines has direct flights from Detroit and Atlanta. Otherwise, you would probably have a layover in Tokyo. Check out the web site below or any travel booking site for the most recent information.

Beijing Metro

by hopang

Beijing Metro was officially opened to the public in 1969. It is the busiest subway system in China and the second longest after Shanghai Metro. Beijing Metro has approximately 200 kilometrs of subway tracks. There are a total of eight lines today. Beijing Metro is undergoing rapid expansion to meet the needs of the local population as well as the increasing number of foreign tourists especially after the successful hosting of the 29th Beijing Olympiad by China. Beijing Metro attracts approximately three million passengers per day.

Nighttrains in China

by Mellow49

For long distances (more than 8 hrs.) I only use nighttrains in China. Convenient and cheap too. Also don't need a hotel for that night. Four person cabin is more private, but sleeping without cabin gives more opportunity to meet locals. Washing (no privacy) and toilet is very basic.Used the HS line from Beijing to Shanghai 2 weeks ago. Only 8 hours with one stop in Nanjing. Much better and cheaper than a (first class) plane. Lots of (leg)space (also in 2nd class) and decent spacious toilet.First Class 935Rmb/p.p. Cheaper possible by using a train that stops at more stations but of course will take more time.

Pre-booking with C-Trip

by DSwede

I've used C-trip before while living/working in China. I never had any issues with them. However, you cannot book tickets earlier than 4~5 weeks. Prices quoted prior to that are a forecast.Please note that depending on the airline that operates the final flight, paper tickets may be required. If so, you must be able to either supply a delivery address in China or make arrangements for ticket pick-up at the airport.[For example, I was working ~50km outside of Qingdao and they would not deliver there, but tickets were waiting for me at the airport on the day of my flight]

Online China Domestic Flight Bookings

by MikeySoft

. You can book China domestic flight eTickets at http://www.elong.net/and http://www.ctrip.com and http://www.yoee.comSome flights are discounted. Sometimes 50% or more! In China, the flights are discounted closer to the date of departure.May 2007 I flew from Xi'an to Shanghai. I got 50% discount off the base and had to pay an additional 130 rmb tax and fees. I got the ticket the day before. Only the late flight had 50% discount at that time while most of the others were 20 or 30% discount. I checked the internet the day of the flight and my flight and an additional flight was 60% discount and many of the other flights were 50% on the day of departure. So the longer you wait, the cheaper the price.May 2007, a 130 rmb domestic airport tax and fees is added and sometime a fuel surcharge tax is also added. These additional charges will be listed before you are required to give your credit...

China's High Speed Trains

by MikeySoft

China's rail roads infrastructure has advanced very rapidity. I was amazed by the new stations and High Speed Trains on my latest trip compared to just a few years ago. They now have intercity trains traveling over 280 KM/hour. That is over 170 miles/hour. The High Speed Train seems quicker between Shanghai and Suzhou the getting to the train station within Shanghai. I understand they will soon have a High Speed Train between Beijing and Shanghai which will compete with the airlines. See my High Speed Train Video.

Hiking or Bamboo Rafting along the Li River

by Orangetulip

It's far more interesting to appreciate the beauty of the Li River by hiking, instead of taking an ordinary cruise. You'd better start from the Yangdi Dock and down the river to Xingping. This section is the highlight of the Li River cruise. If you are afraid of the long and tough road, you can take a bamboo raft along this section. You can find the bamboo rafts just at the Yangdi Dock. They are operated by the friendly local people. Here I find a map that can guide the way: http://www.chinatouristmaps.com/travel/guangxi/guilin/li-river.html.
