What Our Customer Said
I used China highlights to book high speed trains to and from Yantai, Shandong. My plans had an unexpected change, and I was able to contact Vivi via WeChat and have my tickets cancelled and reissued. Vivi also helped me provide options for getting to my destination. I highly recommend Vivi and China Highlights for booking trains especially if you don't have a Citizenship card within China.
I really got efficient and quick support from chinahighlightstrain.com. The first time, I wrote wrongly my passport number but after sending an e-mail with the right information I got quickly a new one. I did not have any trouble traveling.
The refund for my train ticket was fast and the travel adviser was speedy in answering my emails on refund. Would definitely book through the agency again!
