For the D express trains in soft sleeper, do these normally sell out? Could I just show up at Shanghai station and buy the tickets on the same day?
thanks
I suggest you visit a kiosk or ask your hotel to book for you the day before. You can also buy at the train station, but might end up having to wait a while (I'm not too fond of Chinese train stations, for the most part). Also, I don't think any of the Shanghai-Wuxi D trains offer sleepers of any kind (it's only a 40 minute run).
