Almost all of the trains between Beijing and Shanghai are overnight trains. Only two daytime trains are available, but the soft sleeper berth is unavailable on one of them, it will be tiring if you sit there for a whole day. Night train is better, no influence to your visit and you can also save one night’s hotel charge. The cost is about 450-500.00 Yuan per soft sleeper berth. Which class of berth would you choose so that I can note you the specific charge.
