Shanghai | China :: Sleeper Train To Beijing

When you’re on a budget, have plenty of time to spare and don’t mind a little adventure, trains in China might be your best bet the next time you travel. Our trip from Shanghai to Beijing was ideal on the overnight sleeper train, but if you are really adventurous or slightly insane you can hop onto the inter connected Trans-Siberian Railway, and get into distances over 8,000 Kilometers and countless days.

Cost: $46 USD (306 RMB) for Hard Sleeper from Shanghai to Beijing
Distance: 914 Miles (1,463 Kilometers)
Time: ~13 Hours (22:00 Departure)
