BEIJING, Dec. 23 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- The China Guide, an American managed Beijing-based travel Company, has a complete database of train information available on its website ( http://www.TheChinaGuide.com ). Train travel is very popular among tourists and locals as it is a less expensive travel option than flying, however buying tickets and finding schedules is not easy. The China Guide's database driven system provides travelers with schedules, pricing and seating options. Pop-up photographs accompany the information, showing the various types of seats. The China Guide will book train tickets for travelers once they have selected their destination.

Taking the train is a unique form of travel that most Americans do not get to experience at home. It makes for an interesting experience and is an exciting option for children. Train tickets are inexpensive and can also save hotel costs when traveling overnight, keeping travel budgets economical. The China Guide's train booking service includes routes for the most popular cities in China including short distance, overnight and fast trains. Travelers can choose their train preference by departure time, length of journey and seat selection. Seating options can include private sleeping cabins, soft and hard sleepers and different seat classes, all of which are detailed on the database.

Without a system like The China Guide's, tickets are hard to book and schedules are very unclear for tourists. Unlike traveling in Europe, where there is a large train system, China does not have a computerized booking system. Tickets only go on sale 5 to 20 days in advance depending on the route and time of year and travelers cannot access a reliable, up-to-date website of information.

"We are providing travelers with all of the necessary information for China train travel as well as ticket bookings at competitive discount rates. We have English speaking staff that offer quality western style service to make bookings convenient and stress-free," says The China Guide's Operating Manager, Peter Danford. "Tickets can be booked with our staff over the phone or by email. We also provide ticket delivery service to your hotel if needed."

The China Guide can make train ticket purchases for individuals or include the bookings in one of their multi-city travel itineraries.
