Hi: Is there a Hi-Speed train that runs from Hong Kong airport to Shenzhen without changing trains? I don't want the hassle of changing trains with luggage. Also, if I take the ferry from HKIA to Shekou, how far is that from Luohu Shenzhen? Thank you

Hi Mj,

Thank you for your inquiry. This is Robert, your travel adviser.

Regarding to your inquiry, I am sorry to inform you that there is no railway between Deqin and Zhongdian at the moment. So it is impossible to get Deqing from Zhongdian by train. Please understand.

Please feel free to let me know if there is any inquiry about your China vacation.

Wish you a nice weekend! ;-)

Hi Peter, there is no bullet train from Hong Kong to Beijing. Yes, the bullet train is available between Beijing and Shanghai. I don't think you can book a sleeper for two people. You can log onto this website to check the price:http://www.train-ticket.net/asia/china/bindex.htm.

Hi Kenneth,

Thank you for you inquiry.

There are many options for you to travel to Haining from Lianyungang.

You can take a train from Lianyungang to Changzhou, and then change take a train to Haining from there. It takes about 9 hours to get Changzhou from Lianyungang, and takes about 4 hours from Changzhou to Haining. So totally, it takes about 13 hours.

Or you can take the MU5580 flight to get Shanghai from Lianyungang, then take a train to Haining.

You can find your ideal trains and flights on our relevant page: http://www.chinahighlights.com/china-trains/

Hope it helps.

Wish you a nice day!

Dear Mr/Mrs , I have a question regarding train routine. How can I go from Beijing to Yiwu by train ? Which is the best way ? Can you give me information about all types of trains (including high speed) ? Thank you in advance.

Hi Abdumalik

The only train from Beijing to Yiwu is K101, which you could buy tickets at Beijing west railway station (北京西客站), cost CNY369 for hard sleeper, CNY 568 for soft sleeper, and take 23 hours.

We only book tickets for our customers who book package tour from us.
