Hi, I'm afriad that you are unable to purchase these tickets before you departing for your journey, for most train tickets in China are sold 10 days ahead. For the train schedule and ticket fare, you can search by youeself at China Train Schedule(https://www.travelchinaguide.com/china-trains/) by entering the leaving and arrival stations.

Hi, tell me where are you now? Are you in Belgium or Beijing?

Answered by Mrs.Demets from BELGIUM | Mar. 20, 2009 02:46

I'm still in Belgium. We are arriving in Beijing the 3th of April and we would like to take the train to Pingyao the 7th of April.

Answered by Mr.Simon from CHINA | Mar. 20, 2009 04:26

Hi, as far as I know, you cannot book the ticket if you are not in China, so when you come to Beijing in April 3rd, go to the Beijing Railway Station to buy the ticket to Pingyao, or if you have friends in Beijing, you can ask them to buy the tickets for you in advance.

Have a nice trip in China!
