Guangzhou Booking train ticket to Xian
Posted: Thu April 3, 2008 08:21 AM UTC
I will be arriving at Guangzhou in early May. I would like to take a train to Xian a day after that. Is there any website (eng/chi) where I can book my hard sleeper ticket in advance? If I'm not wrong, it is difficult to buy a hard sleeper ticket at such a short notice when I arrive in Guangzhou.

I'm not optimistic at all about buying with only 1 day's notice in early May.
Try contacting Jacky in Guangzhou to see if he can help: jacky@lotusholiday.com
