TRAVELING ACROSS CHINA LIKE A BULLET
In 2008, I took an overnight train from Shanghai to Beijing
China. When the train doors closed at 7 PM in Shanghai, it opened the next
morning in Beijing. This train also called the Sleeper Train. During that time,
the high-speed rail was under construction and the Beijing–Shanghai 300 km/h
line opened in June 2011.
At present, the best way and easily getting around China is
to take the CRH (China Railway High-Speed). The train are clean, modern and
comfortable. Unlike the regular train, no smoking in CRH is allowed, all
tickets have assigned seats and no passengers sitting on the aisle. Ticket
price is reasonable and departures are numerous. Hence I tried the CRH bound to
Xi’an China to celebrate my birthday with the Terracotta warriors and horses.
How to purchase CRH
ticket?
CRH tickets are available at the ticket office with English
service (just look the sign or logo “CRH”) or even in vending machine, but
expect a long queue of passengers. Foreign passengers are required to present
their passport to purchase CRH ticket therefore foreigners can no longer use
the vending machine.
Since CRH ticket is available online, I purchased my
Beijing-Xian CRH ticket at CHINA-TICKET-ONLINE and they delivered the tickets to my hotel on
the date I requested. The ticket costs CNY515.50 (one way).
Beijing-Xi’an CRH
Station
The Beijing-Xian CRH 300km/h was opened on December 26,
2012.
The Bullet or the “G” train, with 10 departures a day, bound
to Xi’an departs in Beijing West Railway Station and arrives at Xi’an North
Station after 5.5 hours.
The Beijing West Railway station is connected with Beijing
subway lines 7 & 9 while the Xi’an North Station is connected to Subway
line 2.
