Question

Some of your information on Chengde is wrong.  Just to let people know if your at the train station taxi's are flat 10 yuan to anywhere in the city.  In the city the price is flat 5 yuan (don't let them turn on the meter in the city and try to rip you off it is a flat rate).  If traveling out of the city there are taxis that will take you for flat rates out to the twin peaks for 10 Yuan, usually it means sharing a taxi with others but it is better than the flat 30 yuan normally.  Also except the long distance buses all buses are 1 yuan.  From the train station if you take the #7 bus it will take you into the city.  If you want to go to the Summer Mountain Resort change to Bus #6 once in the city, to go to the Sledgehammer Rock take bus #26, for the Puning Temple take the #6 just stay on for awhile.  The rest of the city is easy enough to travel through on foot.  One have only one night club that reminds me of the old movie Saturday Night Fever and one bar street. Take care and enjoy the trip!!!-Di

Very useful information.  If I understand well, I could make already a booking in Chengde for the train from Beijing to Datong.  This would be much more sure.  I read very bad complaints about travellers who had problems making a train reservation in Datong.  Seems that in many cases there's a kind of agreement not to sell tickets to foreigners at the ticket booth, but there with a really huge commission at the Tourist Information.  It would be great if I could make a booking fot Datong - Pingyao already in Beijing, but is this possible?

Dear Mr. Marc,     Yes if your in Chengde and want to get a ticket to anywhere except Beijing all you do is go to the Ticket agent and buy it.  The simplest one to find is located directly across from The Summer Mountain Resort which is the main attraction for Chengde.  Need more help let me know.-Di
