Want to take a day trip or weekend trip by train?

(Only in Chinese) Find out the timings and prices online and even buy tickets in advance (they deliver, but I have not personally tried):

(Also in Chinese) Or download the iPhone app 智能列车时刻 to check the train schedules:

  

If you’re taking the high speed train (高铁), you’ll be able to order from Ctrip (available in English) as well.

When buying tickets from the ticket counters, remember to bring your passports and request to have seats next to your travel companions!

Happy travels!
