Beijing trains link virtually all main cities and towns in China, and are a safe, comfortable and civilised way to travel, even for families or women travelling alone. They have 4 classes: soft seat, soft sleeper, hard seat, hard sleeper. Short distance daytime trains normally only have hard class seats, though some inter-city trains also have soft class seats.¡¡¡¡ Beijing Train Timetable |

| What the Chinese Trains like? |
|
Soft sleepers consist of comfortable 4-berth compartments with full bedding provided. Hard sleepers consist of bunks in open-plan dormitory cars, usually arranged in bays of 6 (upper, middle and lower) on one side of the aisle, with pairs of seats on the other side of the aisle for daytime use. Soft sleeper is recommended for most visitors to China, but budget travellers often use hard class, which is quite acceptable (and the bunks are padded, not 'hard'!). |

A few important trains on the Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Hong Kong, Beijing-Xian and some other key routes have deluxe soft sleepers with 2-berth compartments with private toilets as well as the normal 4-berth soft class. Most long-distance trains have a restaurant car serving full meals. The modern sleepers and a restaurant car on a typical 'T' or 'K' category express between major cities. The best 'Z' category trains are even more modern. Chinese trains generally have both western & 'squat' toilets, but take your own supply of toilet paper. |
