Train tickets "We arranged return train tickets from Kunming to Lijiang (Yunnan) in an overnight train in China. Tina was very helpful in answering my questions and providing tickets at an affordable price in a timely manner. This visit to Yunnan was onr of the highlights of our many trips in Asia. We collected the tickets at the departure station without any problem nor extra charge. That is why for our trip from Shenzhen to Shaoguan (Guangdong), we are planning to book again our return train tickets with Etrip China. We can only strongly recommend Tina for your next trip to China! Regards, Valerie"
