We’ve already taken a look at a fair few places that you can get sleeper trains to from Beijing and now we’ve got even more for you! 

Remember, tickets go on sale 15 days before the departure date and always sell out fast over a holiday, so be sure to secure your tickets ASAP! On apps like Trip, you can reserve a ticket in advance and they will try to buy the tickets for you once they go on sale, however there’s of course no 100 percent guarantee that they’ll be able to get it. If they’re unable to book the ticket for you, you’ll receive a full refund.
