This small private travel agency will better meet the expectations of the individual traveler. It offers regular flight booking services, trains and boats, and tailor-made circuits.

Proposes the booking of train tickets with a commission of 10 RMB. Most hotels also have agencies that can sell tickets.

It is advisable to reserve long distance train tickets at least two days in advance, especially for hard berths.

It is now possible to take a return ticket to Shanghai. There is a choice between two categories: hard seats (ying zuo 硬座, no reserved spaces) and soft seats (ruan zuo 软座). To the extent that sleeping trains for Beijing are very coveted, it is recommended to book one week in advance to have a comfortable berth.

Read: State travel agencies (CITS) simply sell airline tickets, train tickets or boats or circuits.

They do not correspond to the western concept of the National Tourism Office, since they do not provide any practical information about the country. For long distance journeys, book at least three days in advance.

Shanghai Tourism Offices distribute city plans, a fairly comprehensive tourist documentation: sites to visit, bus excursions, useful addresses, underground plans, list of hotels and restaurants. These information centres are spread across the city. In addition to Shanghai Station (No. 1 south exit), Renmin Square metro station, and the Arrivée and Pudong airports, districts also have their own antenna.
