Fantastic app with excellent support

I had used this app to book trains in 2017 and 2019, but was told by other travellers that it no longer worked (current trip in 2026). However, I am delighted to say that it is still as easy and efficient as ever. I have booked multiple trains and received timely confirmation and seat information (tickets not needed to board now, only passport). Additionally, I have had prompt assistance when needing to amend a booking. Highly recommend.

Top Class Service

I’ve been travelling through China for a month and this app and the customer service they provide via WhatsApp has been first class. If you are visiting China, don’t be without this app.

Perfect service

I was incredibly impressed with the service I received while booking the tickets. But I also left my IPad on the train, not only did they find it, but I collected it within a day. The communication with person was fantastic prompt, keeping me informed. Thanks very much

FAQ

What is China Train Booking?

China Train Booking is an application that simplifies the process of booking high-speed train tickets within China. It allows users to book tickets, check real-time schedules and availability, and utilize electronic tickets for boarding, eliminating the need to collect paper tickets.

How do I use the electronic tickets?

With electronic tickets, you can board the train directly using your valid ID document. This feature is available for high-speed rail travel and significantly speeds up the boarding process, saving you time and reducing paper waste.

Is there a cost to use the app?

The application itself is free to download and use. While there are no credit card fees or hidden charges for bookings made through the app, the cost of the train tickets themselves will apply.

What if I need to change or cancel my ticket?

The app offers comprehensive support for refunds, exchanges, and rescheduling. You can contact their purely human customer service team through the app, WeChat, hotline, or email for quick assistance with any ticketing issues.

Can I book tickets last minute?

Yes, the app allows you to book tickets as fast as 1 hour before departure. This flexibility is ideal for spontaneous travel plans or unexpected itinerary changes, ensuring you can secure your seat even at short notice.
