    The Chinese domestic airlines use E-tickets. Only your passport and booking number is needed to check in at the airport. Flights can be easily booked through the internet with instant confirmation. Self-Service Check-In is available for domestic flights at the larger airports. Staff will help you in English.

    railway
    The trains in China between the large cities are quite good and inexpensive. Their are 4 classes: soft seat first class / second class, softsleeper, hardsleeper and hard seat. We traveled through China in 2009 using high-speed trains. Many hotels can order train tickets for you. If possible book your train 24 hours ahead.

    hotels
    Hotels in China can be booked directly through the internet. Often without a creditcard if you book through a Chinese provider. Most hotels have broadband internet access and/or wireless internet. Hotels in Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai are the most expensive. Many accommodations can make reservations for train, airline, city tours or shows.
