ReplyTravel by Bullet train G/D Luggage Hand baggage & Check in baggage
We are planning China trip. Like to travel by Bullet trains ( G/D) between Beijing to Xi'an. As we will be coming by flights our baggage will be 1 number Hand baggage L+W+H 115 cm and 1 number Check in baggage L+W+H 168 cm. I was reading at your site that only L+W+H =130 cm is allowed. Requested to update me whether I can carry one Hand baggage (115 cm) and check in baggage (168 cm)

00ReplyYou can cover the famous attractions in Guilin and nearby Yangshuo within 3-4 days. For the tour guide, the private Guilin and Yangshuo tours provided by travelchinaguide saving your worry are recommended.

00ReplyThanks for your reply. We’d like to travel on our own, not joining tour groups. But thinking we need a local private guide to plan an itinerary and recommend ideal routes, hotels, transportations, etc.

00ReplyCurrently, the direct flight is out of service. If you insist on traveling by flight, a transfer is needed and the travel time will be much longer. I recommend high speed train instead, which takes around 7 hours and CNY350 for a second class seat.
