The service was beyond my expectations

The service was beyond my expectations. The team responded quickly to my requests to change train stations, accommodating my limited knowledge of Chinese and correcting mistakes I made as a result. Everything was handled promptly, and I even received suggestions to save time and money. I highly recommend this app and service.

Hoh Hot to Ulanbataar

From the moment I made the train enquiry to receipt of my ticket, the service was excellent. Fabio led me through the process and made sure the tickets reached my hotel in time. This is not a normal route so very little accurate information is available. As I had a few days to fill in between trips I chose train travel rather than air. At first I was advised that there were no seats -- there were only two in our whole carriage.
What I did fail to realise was that there was a delay of 12 hours in Erenhot -- had I known I would have booked a day room in the adjacent hotel. Another 4 hours in Zamin Udd - eventually we were advised that we could actually get off the train -- very useful as you cannot use the toilet when the train is stopped.
None of this is China Highlights problem - their service was excellent, especial thanks to Fabio for his care and attention

Overnight train from Shanghai to Beijing

We took the night train from Shanghai to Beijing (hard sleeper) and overall, the ride was very pleasant and everything went smoothly. The train conditions exceeded our expectations — everything felt clean, relatively quiet, and more comfortable than we anticipated given the ticket type.

That said, a few things could be improved. It would have been great to choose our specific bed (upper, middle, or lower) in advance, and we also wish there were more photos or clear info about the train layout and ride types available before booking. The booking process itself felt a bit uncertain — we paid without being 100% sure seats were secured, and only later had to pay extra to confirm them.

Still, the journey was enjoyable and we’d definitely consider doing it again!

I received tickets straight after they were released by train company. The customer service China Highlights is fast and polite and I want to thank for all train bookings for me and my family. I want to use the service again to see other part of China by train.

First class China Highlights!

China Highlights did a great job in booking my ticket from Beijing to Xi’an on a high speed train. They responded promptly to any messages.
The journey itself was superb & no issues whatsoever.

Booked a train from Lanzhou to Beijing with China Highlights ticket service. My plans changed after the booking but they responded promptly and without any problems rebooking my trip as requested.
Chinese trains are clean, prompt and fast. I would recommend traveling China by train and China Highlights for bookings

Took the stress out of bullet train booking

China Highlights took the stress out of booking bullet train tickets in China over a national holiday period that was going to be very busy. Additionally, I made a mistake with my booking instructions and they remedied the situation swiftly and graciously. Strongly recommend them.
