12 Train Tickets in Shanghai Railway Station

Hi,

I woudl liek to go by sleeper train from Shanghai to Haikou. I know it takes 30+ hours but I think it will be a good way to see China. Has anyone here done this journey before? Any suggestions when, where and how to get a train ticket?

Many thanks,

Ian

11 Thanks for your Comments

It is really interesting to come across you bolg when I search "go back to China" on Google. The pictures you posted about luoyang are so familiar to me. I enjoy them very much. That is the place I spent more than ten years. I lived there and once worked in the factory behind the statue. But I haven't been there for a couple of years. Probably we gradulated from the same high school.
Your blog is really good!

5 Real-Time Stream Broadcasting Cookbook

Jackie...your problem with the internet URL being the same as your local IP.

I have spent an hour trying to work it out and got to this forum. However, if you give your IP address to someone and ask them to access it - it WILL work anyway. It has for me!


Hope that helps.

Mail me if not.

4 Mobiles in China - My Personal Perspective

Mr Jian
I have read the comments about the pre paid cards but am still a little confused. I will be arriving in Shanghai shortly and really need to be in touch with Australia using my mobile for international phone calls and sms. Does the prepaid Shenzhouxing sim card enable me to do this? If not what do you recommend as the best option?

3 Why I Don't Have an English Name

As a western ex teacher of often reasonably large groups of Shanghainese students in recent years I found that it was virtually impossible for me to remember all my students Chinese names. I greatly valued the student's Chinese names.

I think it allowed me to get to know the students quicker. In time I did learn many student's Chinese name. It was a convenient way to be able to address each learner quickly without the initial difficulties of poor pronunciation...Interesting topic of discussion.
