Question

Thank you for your info on buying trains tickets. I am planning to take the train from Dunhuang to Jiayuguan on April 13th, 2011 and from Jiayuguan to Lanzhou on April 15th. I will fly to Beijing on March 29th. Should I order these tickets now, before I leave for Beijing? I afraid that if I order these tickets 10 days before the departure day, which means that I will have to order them in Beijing where I might not have access to internet. I've already made reservation in the two cities.Also, I would like to take a day trip from Beijing to Shanghaiguan. Should I buy the tickets on the day of the trip, or should I buy in advance? I heard that the tickets from Shanghaiguan to Beijing are not easy to get because this journey is very crowded. Thank you very much for your time.

You can order the tickets online at your most convenient time as long as 10 days before departure. I know most hotels have computers with internet access in the business center for guests use. So, there is no need to worry about that. Besides, do you refer to Shanhaiguan located around 15km northeast to Qinhuangdao city? If yes, there are around 18 trains from Beijing to Shanhaiguan, including 3 bullet trains. To ensure getting a seat, you would better also arrange the booking online in advance.
