Very good communication

Very good communication, I received the ticket info on time, everything was great. The employee who assisted me was Annie and she was super professional and helpful. When I had a question at the railway station she responded on WeChat within a few seconds. Good company.

Couldn’t have done our 3 week trip across China without this service

Excellent service especially for reserving months ahead when the booking window isn’t open yet. My agents Annie and Vivi managed to get tickets for all the trains I requested and even advised me on a better route to suit my needs. As a non native speaker I wouldn’t dream of attempting the bookings myself. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience

I had a fantastic experience using the China Highlights Train Ticket Service! From start to finish, everything was smooth, efficient, and incredibly helpful. Booking train tickets in China can be a bit overwhelming, especially for first-time visitors, but this service completely simplified the process.

Their website is user-friendly, communication was prompt and clear, and the tickets were delivered exactly as promised. They even provided useful tips about train stations, boarding procedures, and what to expect – it made a huge difference during my trip.

Every expectation I had was not only met but exceeded. I highly recommend China Highlights to anyone planning to travel by train in China. Reliable, trustworthy, and professional – they truly made my journey stress-free and enjoyable!

Fantastic Service

Used China Highlights to book two train journeys. Quick response and great communication. After making the second booking, I realized that I had booked the wrong month. I sent an email to China Highlights at 6pm and within 30 minutes received an email back confirming the date change. Fantastic service!

Perfect service

Recently used their services for six different train rides and can't sing their praises high enough: Fast, reliable, clear communication at every step, helpful and imaginative problem solving when tickets were not available. Will certainly use their services again.

Booked 2 HSR tickets from Xian to Shenzhen, trip was marvelous, comfortable. I just wish the trip has less stop along the way. Very good travel experience for me and my son. Hope we can do it again soon. Also I wish Australia will have something similar to these HSR in China. Kudos to you guys!

Quick to respond and mostly good

In general, the service is good, the prices fair and the staff very quick to get back. However, I did not find they were very proactive in suggesting alternatives or different ways to ensure we could get tickets at this very busy time of year. Frequently they could not get tickets or we ended up in different cabins and for me (a 75-year old) on an upper bunk!

China Highlights were great in advising and booking our high speed train tickets from Beijing to Shanghai. Fair priced and arrived as promised with very clear instructions for use. The tickets were ‘loaded’ to our passports and we found using them very easy at Beijing nan station. I would highly recommend.

They made the whole process very easy for us

What sets China Highlights apart from other similar services is their responsiveness and clear communication. When I had some questions about our reservation just a few hours before our trip from Shanghai to Beijing, the agent assigned to me promptly responded with all the information I needed. She also gave me her WeChat QR code so that I could contact her quickly from the station in the event of a problem. This is a lifeline that China Highlights' competitors do not provide. The outbound and return trips went smoothly and all of the information I had been given was accurate. The only improvement I can think of would be for China Highlights to provide (along with the trip itinerary) an image or card to print out that says something like "你可以给我纸质票吗?" plus instructions to show it at the service counter (服务中心)while handing one's passport to the clerk. That way, people who don't speak Chinese can easily get paper printouts of their tickets without even having to say one word. Since your ticket is tied to your passport, paper tickets are not strictly necessary, but it is useful and reassuring to have printed proof of one's train, car, and seat number (in a more official format than just an itinerary from a third-party reseller) in the event of any problems. This service is a lifesaver for foreigners or anyone who wants to reserve train tickets in China during busy travel periods and doesn't want to have to hover over their keyboard or phone (along with millions of other users at the same time) ready to pounce on seats the instant they become available 15 days before one's travel date. I was happy to outsource this task to agents far more fluent in Chinese than I am, and more knowledgeable about the ins and outs of mainland China's complex rail network. The photos and descriptions of the various train types on China Highlights' website were also more informative than on other sites. It's no mystery why this company has such positive reviews online.
