Great day in Suchzou and Tongli

Thanks to our guide Kenny! She was very welcoming and nice! Showed us Suchzhou in a very nice way. We visited the park, had a nice dinner in a restaurant that she chose for us (the food was great and atmosphere very warm) and visited Tongli water village. Her English is great, we understood her very well, and she was also very knowledgeable. Would totally recommend

Amazing Shanghai trip

Shanghai is my hometown, and I am very happy that our guide, Kenny, is also a Shanghai girl of similar age, which enhances the sense of intimacy. Kenny's professional explanations have taught me a lot about Shanghai's history and stories, even things I didn't know as a Shanghainese. Kenny is very attentive, observing the preferences of my husband and child and trying to meet their needs as much as possible, allowing these two foreigners who are visiting China for the first time to experience a feeling of being at home.

Types of Trains in China

In China, trains are categorized by service and speed. Different letters indicate different types of the train.

G-Trains (high-speed trains) and D-Trains (bullet trains) are the latest, fastest, and most comfortable in China, reaching speeds over 180 km/h. The operation of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Trains reduces travel time between the two cities to just 5 hours.
Z-Trains, T-Trains, and C-Trains, traveling at speeds between 120 km/h and 170 km/h, are express trains in China. They are among the most valuable for saving time and cost, offering a range of seating options.
K-Trains are slower than Z-Trains and T-Trains, stopping at more stations and serving less well-known counties in China. Trains designated only by numbers are not recommended due to their slow speeds and poor equipment.

High-speed Train (G-, D-Trains) Speed > 180km/h

Express Train (Z-, T-, C- Trains) Speed > 120km/h

Fast Train (K-Train) Speed > 100km/h

How to Choose a Train Seat Type

In China, trains are categorized by service and speed. Different letters indicate different types of the train.

You are recommended to book a business-class seat or first-class seat on a short-distance train ride. For a long-distance and even over night train ride, a soft-sleeper or deluxe-sleeper is highly recommended for a comfortable journey.

Business Class Seats: luxurious experience with maximum comfort and privacy.
First Class Seats: more spacious and comfortable with added amenities.
Second Class Seats: more affordable, with standard comforts.
Soft Sleeper: Offers four berths per compartment for a more comfortable overnight journey.
Hard Sleeper: Six berths per compartment, budget-friendly with basic comfort.
