This made pur trip easy going back to Shanghai from Beijing. ☺️

Booking was quick and easy on the klook app. The seats were comfortable and spacious, have enough room to rest during the travels. Also enough space to store small things on the overhead luggage and there is a storage for large luggage near the entry door. The large window made the experience memorable as you get to appreciate the view whilst traveling. Both train stations were spacious and generally quite easy to navigate.

We were unaware that there are strict rules about what can be brought in luggage on the train and this caused some stress at the beginning of our trip as the security officials went through all of our suitcases. We had to discard some items. The train was clean and efficient. It was busy and very full for the entire trip and one family member had to sit apart from the rest.
