Default Trains in China

Has anyone any experience of travelling by train in China?

Been looking up on seat61.com about travelling by trains. I need to get a train from Beijing to Shanghai next month and would like to jump of the train along the way and continue on the next day.

Wondering would I need 2 separate tickets or could I do it on the one ticket.

Any advice on travelling by train over there much appreciated.

I think you need 2 separate tickets for your journey, as in China they have local reservation system at each big station.

In Beijing should be no problem to buy a ticket as they have ticket desks for foreigners.

There are 4 types of carriages in China.

1. Soft or Hard Seat Carriage
2. 6 berth sleeper compartment
3. 4 berth sleeper compartment
4. 2 berth sleeper compartment

Here's good source for all Chinese trains between major cities
