Whilst travel is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable ways to spend your time, arranging your travel can be complicated, stressful and difficult. Especially in places where your language isn’t widely spoken, making sure you’ve booked the right ticket is essential. Let us organise yours; no more scouring the internet for a legitimate website, waiting in line, or struggling to communicate with a translate app.
If you don’t see what you’re looking for below, get in touch. With connections across the globe, we can usually find what you need, or point you in the right direction. Depending on the type of tickets, they will either be hand delivered, or waiting for you to collect.
One of China’s greatest accomplishments in our modern day living is having a state-of-the-art, smart and comfortable train network that in many situations can work out better than flying domestically within China. However, trying to obtain train tickets as a foreign tourist in China is very complicated and stressful unless you are Chinese, hold a local Chinese bank card and speak enough Chinese to communicate with the overcrowded ticket office where also the concept of lining up calmly and patiently does not exist..
So let us help you to avoid missing out on train tickets or even worse… purchasing the only remaining ‘standing only’ ticket (nightmare alert). Please contact us to help your travels in China on time and stress free.
Simply fill out the form below about which ticket you require and we will email you back with a quote. After purchasing the tickets with us online, your tickets will be ready for you to pick up in China!

Talk to any traveller worth anything, and the Trans-Siberian/Mongolian railway is either something they have done, or something very much on their to do list. An iconic travel adventure that is not only the best train journey on earth, but arguably one of the best of any trips possible. Every November YPT arrange our Eurasian Adventure Tour, but aside from that we are now pleased to announce our ability to offer tickets originating in China for this adventure.
Our prices are some of the cheapest available as we are based in Beijing, and charge a very small service fee. Prices are fully inclusive, and will be hand delivered to you in Beijing with an information pack on taking the train, with our YPT delivery guide being happy to answer any questions you might have about the trip.
Prices are quoted in Chinese CNY, but can be paid in the currency of your choice at the daily exchange rate.
