| A friend and I were planning to take the Z Train from Shanghai to Beijing in late May, and to book a deluxe soft sleeper. When I went to chinatripadvisor.com to book the trip I was told they do not have the deluxe soft sleeper anymore on the Z train. I heard from another source, and it was confirmed from chinatripadvisor.com that the T110 goes between the two cities (takes about 13.5 hours rather than 12) and has the deluxe soft sleeper. But, you can only book tickets the day before departure. So, it appears my choices are: 1. Book a soft sleeper (sleeps 4) at 79 US$ on the lower berths on a more modern, faster Z train and hope no one books the upper berths and book it 20 days in advance or 2. Book a deluxe soft sleeper (sleeps 2) at 137 US$ on a less modern, slower T train and book it the day before we travel. Has anyone beek on the T 110 and have a recommendation about which way to go? |
