2 Train from Beijing to Shanghai

Lonnie, thank you for your post, it is really helpful to first-time travelers to China, like me. Quick couple of questions: would it be safe for a single woman to travel in the hard-seat section alone? and would tickets be cheaper to buy in China, like someone else also asked?

Thanks,

1 Train from Beijing to Shanghai

Hi Jian,
I am going to China for the first time, and have a few days free. While I will be in Shanghai on work, I really want to visit Beijing and the forbidden city as well.
I came across your blog while searching for trains / planes between Shanghai and Beijing. Can you help me out with any information on how to book train tickets, etc.? And is it possible to visit the Forbidden City in 1 day? Is there anything else you would advise me to do / see while I'm there?

I would really appreciate an email in response,
thanks!
