Should I buy the one-way ticket PEK-PVG in advance from the US or should I wait until I get there and buy it when I arrive in Shanghai? Any idea how much is the one-way fare PEK-PVG?
Thank you!
i suggest you buy it in beijing. full fare is y1140; discount fares run all the way down to y300 or so; a y50 tax and y60 fuel surcharge gets added on to all tickets. as long as i'm talking numbers, a top birth on the train costs y478 and a bottom birth costs y499. there are also deluxe soft sleepers available that cost more, but i've never bought one on that route so i'm not sure about the pricing.
