China Train Tickets Issuing Date

CHINA TRAIN TICKETS ISSUING DATE is the most important thing for you to successfully book China Train Tickets, because train tickets could not be issued one or two months ago in China like in Europe or America. The tickets can only be bought during the issuing date approved by the train authority.

Usually the ticket-issuing period is within 12 days, which means tickets start to be sold 12 days before departure. The issuing date can vary by city, for example maybe 12 days in Beijing, maybe 10 days in Xian. During festivals, especially Chinese New Year, the railway authority may make the period shorter; outside peak season, tickets may be available earlier.

If you want us to successfully book your China train tickets, please make your reservation before the issuing date. We suggest booking your train tickets as early as possible through CTT. Passport copies are required when tickets are issued.

What if I missed the issuing date? The result may be that no tickets are left at the train station office or ticket selling offices. Even one minute after the issuing time, popular train tickets can be sold out. We call bookings after the issue date late bookings. In low season this may mean within about 20 days; in peak season it can mean within only a few days.

Late bookings require CTT to use other ways to try to buy your train tickets, and the result may not be as good as early bookings. We will still try our best and use our resources to get them for you.

So the most important thing is to MAKE RESERVATIONS BEFORE CHINA TRAIN TICKETS ISSUING DATE.
