I know the Chinese aren't going to change their reservations system just to keep me happy. z
Was in China a few months ago and took a few trains. There are lots of ticket booths in the main cities and if you're on a main route you'll have a good selection to pick from. I found it to be a very efficient service.Has anyone had experience of buying train tickets for China ? I have looked at the wonderfully usefull www.seat61.com website and got a few pointers. By all accounts you can only book 10 days in advance and only from the station where the train originates or where you join it and this is a bit of a concern for me as I like to have things sorted in advance. I know the Chinese aren't going to change their reservations system just to keep me happy.
I know I can reserve through some of the agencies but they are still subject to the 10 day issue anyway. What I am wondering is if anyone has any recommendations for agencies that they have used there and which did what they said they would do got the tickets organised on schedule. Or alternatively any agencies which totally messed up (so I can avoid them).
Any recommendations ?

Can those of you who have been in Shanghai please let me know whether you got vaccinations before travelling.
I don't plan to go outside the city while there and am not sure whether vaccinations are recommended as a result.
