Title: Train tickets
Post by: Dangermouse on October 25, 2010, 11:32:39 pm

Is there any where in the economic development zone to get train tickets? or do you have to go down town or the station for them? ???
Planning a trip to Bengbu for a couple of days. :D

You can have them delivered by agents COD for a premium. Used to cost about 40rmb extra.

You can get them through some hotels, again for a premium. You do not need to be a guest.

I've booked a few trips through different hotels some with exceptional service.
Pick-up and delivery to various locations with best price hotel.  Return trip pre-booking, organised a private car and driver for a day to return us to the airport on time.

Check out some of the better hotels in the area, pay for the service if it pays for itself.
