Is there a bullet train between Beijing & Shanghai?
Though every day there are several bullet trains between Beijing and Shanghai, and it takes about 10 hours for each train ride, so I'm afraid that it is impossible to go to Shanghai then return to Beijing within only 1 day. It is better to take flights.

Is there an electricity plug so I can charge my cell phone during the train ride?
According to our experience, there are electricity plugs available in the soft sleeper carriages of some newly-run deluxe trains, such as trains with initial letter D and Z. However, this is subject to the specific trains’ condition and cannot be guaranteed. Usually they are shared by all the passengers in the same carriage and some of them will probably not work due to the over usage. The passenger needs to check with the train attendant for the exact information.
Is it possible to order train tickets in advance?
The selling date for the tickets is about 4-10 days before departure. The Railway station ticketing office does not accept advanced bookings before the selling date. However, we will record your ticket request and then try to purchase the tickets on the selling date. Due to the large demand, we cannot guarantee the tickets you require, but we'll do our utmost to satisfy your request. If tickets are unavailable then, we’ll inform you immediately and the full payment is refundable.
