Hello, Good day. This year September I would like to travel to Dunhuang from Xian . If i take train, how should I book the train ticket? Is the train ticket round trip? Kindly advise. Many thanks

Dear Mavis,

Thanks for contacting Top China Travel!

Firstly, there is only one train travelling between Xian and Dunhuang. The schudule from Xian to Dunhuang is 10:30 to 09:21(+1day). The schedule from Dunhuang to Xian is 09:30to 09:27(+1day). You can book the round trip tickets. It depends on you.

Secondly, there are a couple of ways for your to book train tickets.

Option 1 Booking China Train Ticket Online
The website of China Railway Customer Service Center is www.12306.cn. You can book all domestic trains on this website. However this website is just available in China, and you have to be able to read Chinese. If you can not read Chinese, you may book at http://english.ctrip.com/

Option 2 By telephone

Options 3 Directly buy ticket at the Railway Station
