I am currently living in Shanghai
In Feb I am planning to go to Harbin and Beijing.
I will go to Harbin straight from Shanghai in a train so there is no problem in buying a ticket.
But the problem is I need a train yingwo ticket from Harbin to Beijing
I have asked a lot of agencies and they tell me I cannot buy the Harbin to Beijing train ticket at Shanghai.
I heard at the begining Feb it is really hard to buy train yingwo tickets since it is close to Spring Festival
So is there anyway i can buy or reserve the Harbin to Beijing yingwo train ticket
Sorry for making it so confusing when I could have wrote it more simply.

Anyway, thank you and look forward to your reply
I am a little worried that when I arrive in Harbin I could not buy the yingwo pi

Generally,you can buy the ticket three days you left or even one week during the time you were in Harbin.

Then when you just arrived in harbin Train Station,went to the windows which sell the tickets after several days.Or when you check in the hotel and try to buy the tickets in the sales box of Train Station in downtown.

If you are one foreighner,i suggested you asked the hotel you will stay and see what they can do for you.

I am sure if you buy the ticket several days earlier before you travelling,you will get the Yingwo(Hard Sleeper).As most of the person will only buy the Hard Seat Class ticket.

Best wishes for your trip.
