The timetables will be readjusted in April, so you should check back with us after that. Otherwise the information that I could give you would only be outdated after that.

In any case the official website for the Shanghai -- Hong Kong trains is at http://www.kcrc.com so you might want to bookmark that.

Best place to buy tickets would be either at the train station that you%26#39;re departing from (brave the crowds and language barrier) or pay your hotel/hostel a nominal service charge for them to take care of it. NOT ONLINE, PLEASE.

The Beijing -- Shanghai Z trains can be bought up to 20 days before departure.

you can check the latest china train timetable through www.adventurechinatrip.com/chinatrain.asp, including tibet, hongkong and international train schedule.

Good luck

thankyou very much for your reply Ellyse and Asprila, it%26#39;s helped me alot.

quick question for Ellyse, if you don%26#39;t mind me asking but why shouldn%26#39;t i go online for train tickets?

thanks again

Because so far the online companies which help you with buying train tickets charge an arm and a leg for it, which personally I think is ridiculous and unnecessary.
