THE World Cup, which is to soccer what the World Series is to baseball, will bring players and fans to France from all over the world from June 10 to July 12. The French Government sees the event as a welcome shot in the arm, and has gone all out to make it a success even though Prime Minister Lionel Jospin's favorite sport is rugby. Hotel rooms in the 10 French cities playing host to the games are heavily booked through most of the period, and train and air reservations may also be harder than usual to come by.
The first and final World Cup matches, and seven in between, will be played in the $450 million Stade de France, a shimmering metallic stadium -- specially built for the championship -- that looks like a sleek flying saucer nestled in the northern suburb of St.-Denis.
The opening match between Brazil and Scotland starts at 5:30 P.M. June 10 in the Stade de France, and the last, to determine the World Cup winner, starts on July 12 at 9 P.M. The French, who like most Europeans are obsessed with soccer, have long since stood in line for the lottery tickets that determine who gets to buy tickets, at prices ranging from $59 to $500 for the final, so expect to pay your scalp if you try to pick one up at the last minute.
Christian Mantei, director general of the Paris Tourist Office , said most tourists will hardly notice that the games are taking place. ''It's really quite absorbable,'' he said. ''The only noticeable congestion will be traffic to the Stade de France around the times of the matches that will be held there.'' Those are the evenings of June 10, 13, 18, 23, 26 and 28, and July 3, 8 and 12.
French authorities plan to ask everybody who can to use rapid transit to get to the 80,000-seat stadium, which has its own terminals for interurban andT.G.V. (high speed) trains.Continue reading the main story
''Hotels belonging to chains, and standard-class places, will tend to be full, but the more expensive categories should have plenty of room,'' Mr. Mantei said. He added that Paris has hotel space for 1.2 million visitor-nights a month, more than enough for tourists and the 300,000 fans expected to stay overnight during the whole period.
Nevertheless, the Ritz, the Meurice, the Costes and the Grand Hotel report that they are already nearly full for the period between June 10 and July 12.
In Lyons, which will also play host to six games, including the match between Iran and the United States on June 21, the Hotel des Beaux Arts and the Bleu Marine, both top category, are already full around game days and say they have few rooms available at other times in June or July.
Mr. Mantei said that Bordeaux, Lyons, Marseilles and Toulouse should have plenty of room for regular travelers, though Lens, Montpellier, Nantes and St.-Etienne, with less hotel capacity, may be booked solid on game days. Most hotels recommend booking early for the key months.
On July 10, near the end of the games, Placido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti and Jose Carreras will perform at a huge open-air concert on the Champ de Mars, the field below the Eiffel Tower, at 9 P.M. Tickets for 9,000 reserved seats, ranging from $125 to $1,100, will be sold by Lysiane Thomas Diffusion, La Cigale, 120 Boulevard Rochechouart, 75018 Paris; telephone (33-1) 53.41.10.09, fax (33-1) 53.41.03.45, but must be paid for in advance by bank transfer or credit card (on French banks only). Giant television screens and state-of-the-art amplification should make it possible, according to the organizer, for tens of thousands of others to experience the event at a distance.
Tickets to World Cup games are now available only through travel agents, costing from $225 to $600 each through most of the early stages of the championship and rising steeply for the final game. The Great Atlantic Travel and Tour Company of Virginia Beach, Va., is offering tickets for that match from $1,450 to $2,450, a colossal markup. Telephone: (757) 422-9001 or (800) 888-8233, fax (757) 425-8950.
That agency and others authorized to sell World Cup tickets offer mostly packages that include both hotel rooms and tickets. Great Atlantic, for example, has a package including the Germany-United States match on June 15 in the Parc des Princes in Paris and the France-Saudi Arabia match on June 18 in the Stade de France, with accommodations in one of several hotels from June 14 to 19, for $2,095 a person in a double room or $3,445 in a single. Air travel is extra.
Other authorized American tour operators include Rail Europe, in White Plains, N.Y., at (800) 462-2577, fax (800) 848-8123, and Omvesa in Queens at (800) 307-8687, fax (718) 229-7467.
The French organizing committee for the games has set up a central hotel and travel reservation center, Mondiresa, at 17-21 Avenue du General Mangin, 75781 Paris Cedex 16; (33-1) 53.92.60.00, fax (33-1) 18.104.22.168. But a spokesman said that it has no tickets for any of the games.Continue reading the main story

Valentine’s Day In Inverlochy Castle
Inverlochy Castle Hotel is a beautiful 19th-century Scottish castle. Nestling in the foothills of Ben Nevis, Great Britain’s highest mountain, the Castle sits among some of Scotland’s most beautiful scenery.
In 1873, Queen Victoria spent a week at Inverlochy, sketching and painting. She wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier or romantic spot.” The Castle is surrounded by the luscious green of the evergreen trees and the sparkling blue of its Loch.
If you drive to the Castle, you’ll go up the Great Glen which is one of the glories of Scotland. If you arrive in Fort Williams, the closest town, the hotel’s Rolls Royce will be waiting to transport you.
Each of their bedrooms and suite have their own individual design plus spectacular views of the grounds and the Loch. A 40” flat-screen TV is hidden by a mirror and a DVD player i available upon request. The country house style of the 1800s – silk and brocade, sparkling crystal, polished wood – remains. The hotel has done excellent work of combining a sense of time suspended with modern amenities.
Activities at Inverlochy include skiing, snowboarding, off-road driving, white water rafting or fishing with assistance from the ghillie. Go biking or hill walking or take a gourmet picnic on a photography tour. Go boating in the beautiful Loch. Play a round of golf at the nearby Fort Williams Golf Club. Play on their tennis courts or get a tennis lesson. Clay pigeon shooting can be arranged as well as archery, air rifle shooting and knife and tomahawk throwing. Sip a whiskey in the billiards room or the bar or read by the drawing room fire. There is an area shuttle with a surcharge. The valet will clean and dry your boots, see to your laundry and dry cleaning.
The hospitality and service are outstanding. Prepare to be pampered! Royalty have stayed at Inverlochy Castle Hotel, including Queen Elizabeth, the Duke of Edinburgh, King Hussein and Queen Noor. Charlie Chaplin was the first celebrity guest and was followed by Elton John, Robert Redford, Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins, Mel Gibson, Barbara Courtland and many more.

"One of the Best!" We have stayed at Spring Cove many times over the last 7 years we have been traveling and every time we come back, I'm more impressed. We were there for 3 days this time with the wind blowing 30+ on the Bay and almost 100 degrees out. Just a lovely breeze at the marina and the crystal clear, cool swimming pool was just what we needed. A lively bar at the pool with sandwiches, salads, burgers, etc. A great "ships" store with wine, cheeses, salads, beer and lots of items for entertaining on a boat. Two levels of laundry, folding tables, some new machines but all clean. Bathrooms cleaned 2x day are spotless. Solar powered shuttle to take you to any of the restaurants, grocery, CVS, West Marine or there is a van that groups can be shuttled around in. CD Cafe fine dining and Lighthouse for more casual. Recycling. Friendly folks!! Great staff. Docks are fixed and only a little tired. Just love it.
"Definitely the best marina we've ever been in!" A very pleasant and family owned and managed yard and marina, perfectly clean and maintained.We left our sailing boat En-Dro two winters on the dry in perfect security/safety. The mecanics did very good job on the fuel circuit of the engines. And the problem we had the last time with our centerboard was solved within one day.
"Excellent Stay" Very helpful dock hands, beautiful grounds and landscaping, shuttle service, excellent head and shower facilities, wish we could have stayed longer.
"Great People, Great Place!" We brought our 47ft sailboat to Spring Cove for haul out and paint. Will and Holley were great handling dockage, haul out, zinks, paint, etc. Very nice place, great lounge, facility, etc. - It was a great experience. We will be back.
-David of "Libre Vie"
"Sailor's Heaven" We left our boat here to go home for about a month, knowing she would be in good care. I didn't expect hurricane Joaquin and the unrelated Nor'Easters to kick up, but Will Richards (manager) and crew took great care of our boat and kept us informed - even took down our genoa when he thought he should reduce windage.Also had some work done while she was here and everything was up to snuff and cost came out lower than their estimate. Spring Cove will be my future "refit place" based on my great experiences here.
"Great Marina - Great Location!" We arrived on Thursday for 2 nights but due to weather: NE winds 25 with gust to 35 and seas 4-5 ft we are staying an additional 2 nights. We are so glad we choose ths marina. It is well protected and we don't even feel what is going on in the Chesapeake. The staff is great and the atmosphere ashore with the pine groves with picnic tables and grilles reminds me of camping in Maine - so nice. They have a great ships store for gifts, some marine supplies , beer and wine block ice and cubes They offer a courtesy van that will take you anywhere on the island but they also have another courtesy vehicle; Toyota 4 runner, that you can use for 2 hours. In addition, they have complementary bikes. You will not have a proble getting around the island. The docks are fixed but in very good condition with pump facilites available at your slip. We had slip A35 and it was perfect. Nesstled inside with 6 ft at MLW and a alodisde finger 30ft long. If it's available take it.
Awesome Marina with friendly staff and great facilities!!
"Welcoming Marina, Staff" Stopped at marina for two days after spending the 4th on the Potomac. It felt like we had "arrived". After exploring the bay for a couple of weeks we returned to this special place.
Trevor and the entire Spring Cove family are extremely professional, hardworking and welcoming. We felt at home under the pines in the grove.
The pool and Wheelhouse Grill were great. It felt like "Cheers" where everybody knows your name!
The gift shop is one of the best we've seen with a great selection of merchandise proudly displayed.
Individual air conditioned bathhouses are pristine, each containing like home shower sink and toilet. Three washers and dryers meant no waiting.
There is a well stocked lending library and lounge with TV.
The courtesy shuttle makes for simple provisioning and dining.
The yard staff was professional, courteous and knowledgeable.
We particularly liked having the pump out at the slip.
The yacht club members made all the transients feel at home. This is a memorable place and hope to return next summer.
"Best Dock Signage" Agree with the other favorable reviews. Very comfortable environment and services. Pool a plus. But to me the best thing is the great signage on the docks including large colored flags unique for each dock (e.g., "look for the green flag at the end of your dock"). With the slip map online, the flags and good directions, finding our slip was a breeze reducing docking anxiety. -Annette Baker
"Always on our annual trip" Love the music in the pool and help from the staff. -Capt. Richard Lewis
"Our favorite in Solomons!" One of the nicest resort marinas on the bay. Pool, pool bar, dockside pumpout, clean restrooms, free shuttle to town, well stocked gift shop, free wifi, and most importantly friendly/helpful staff. What else could you want? Town close enough to walk with several interesting shops and restaurants and the Calvert Marine Museum. -Thurman Harper
"Best we've been to on the Bay!" Fantastic stay, 6/7 to 6/10. First time here but we will definitely be back. Extremely clean, friendly employees that go out of their way, park-like atmosphere. Easy to get into town (marina has a free shuttle or walkable) and plenty to do in Solomons.-Michael Stiglitz
"Nice Place, Good Location" We stayed here 5/16 and it was as nice as the last time! Very professional and laid back, nice docks and a good location (nice dinner at CD Cafe!) makes Spring Cove one of our favorite marinas. -PeterC
"None Better!" 2015 We visited again late April 2015. Just as nice as it was last year!We had an emergency maintenance problem right as we were trying to leave. The staff jumped right on it and we were STILL able to get away in a few hours with the problem fixed! 😀 This place is the best. These folks are the finest. 2014 We were here for 2 days in early May 2014, waiting out some very evil weather. It was a blessed, restoring shelter from the storm raging out in the bay. The wonderful folks here truly made us feel at home! They were friendly, kind and went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed. The shower facilities are the nicest anywhere! Each is a complete bathroom, with shower, toilet and sink, and its own locking door: As nice as any home. Soothing lighting, tile and thoughtful homey touches like nautical border trim around the ceiling and even plants. Amazing...They have a great store that sells everything from boat supplies to liquor. The prices were very good. Some cheaper than West Marine! (A tube of caulk was cheaper here than there. 🙂 There also was a nice selection of souvenirs, clothing and foodstuffs.The grounds were well kept. The whole place was inviting in the way Grandma's summer house would be. How can I say it? Like it was draped in graciousness and caring and even love.We'll be back, because we'll get a free day with our next stay! Also, I want to see the really neat pool bar when it is open. Thanks, Spring Cove! -Ken and Susan
We stayed at Spring Cove Marina with several other boats coming back from St. Michaels(July 19th, 2015; Boat name Tramp) only stayed one night, wish it could have been longer. Loved the grounds, pool, gift shop, the staff; dock hands were especially nice and helpful. Oh, did I forget to say how clean the showers/bathrooms were! And, I liked that they were individual, nice touch! We will be back! It's a long haul from Hampton, VA but my husband and I think it is well worth it! Hope to see you soon!
-Candace and Henry Hudgins
Came here for a pleasant stay, May 6, 2015. After a long day transiting the bay- come here- you will see! Cruise from Florida to Maine and always find that this facility is what a marina should be like. Wonderfully kept grounds with plenty of spots to feel at home. You know you have arrived in Maryland and the upper Bay. Easy walk to West Marine, barber and well stocked 7/11. All hands are attentive to whatever you need. Try it-it speaks for itself.
-Blueberry Gull, Boothbay Harbor, Me.

- Ken and Susan.
From the moment we obtained a reservation until we left 4 days later, we were impressed with the friendly helpful service, monster sized sparkling pool, shuttle, fresh prepared food at poolside bar & beautiful full baths. We were even given a shady slip! This was the absolute definition of a resort marina. Easy bike ride to ice cream & museum with a lighthouse tour. Concert in the park. We will definitely stay again when we head back to Florida.
-Paxton & Margaret aboard Princess M Visited July 2014
The service was impeccable all over from Dockhands to Marina Store! Bathrooms were exceptionally CLEAN! Pool was very well kept. This place is immaculately maintained. - O. July 2014
Customer-oriented. Spring Cove will always be a destination for us. Thank you.
-Jim and Laura "Southpaws"
Spring Cove Marina is the ideal destination while cruising the Chesapeake Bay. They offer dockage, a swimming pool, bicycles, clean restrooms, a pool snack bar, shuttle van, and a gift store. They also have gas and diesel fuel. It's a very relaxing beautiful marina. The staff cater to your needs. The dock hands even carried my kayak to my slip. I very much recommend this marina.
-Visited June 2015
July 5th, 2015 - Came to spring cove Marina for the 4th weekend and to see Bare Naked Ladies, etc... Had a big group, ~7 boats.. Lots of kids (:) and what a wonderful, family friendly marina!! Staff is amazing and so helpful and friendly! Loved it there! Will definitely be back.
-:)It was with a heavy heart that we had to say goodbye to Spring Cove at the start of our 17th year as slipholders as we were moving from the area. We cannot give enough accolades to this fine marina, truly the best of the Chesapeake Bay and even the East Coast (as we have sailed it from New Jersey to the Bahamas). The setting itself is beautiful, with park-like grounds, tropical landscaping, and a swimming pool, all immaculately maintained. Everything --from the private bathrooms to the well-stocked ship’s store to the Wheelhouse poolside bar and grill--is designed with the comfort of the slipholder or transient in mind.
While the marina itself is beautiful, its most valuable asset is the staff. Trevor and Liz, the owners of Spring Cove and both bluewater sailors, take a hands-on approach to running their marina, and their attention to detail shows. Their dedication is echoed in the dock crew, office, shop, and bar staff, who are all unfailingly courteous and helpful. In addition, Spring Cove has a terrific yard crew. They are professional and knowledgable, and no matter how busy they may be, they are willing to take the time to listen and to offer their expertise.
We simply cannot say enough good things about Spring Cove, so we encourage everyone reading this to experience it for yourselves. You will not find a better marina.
-Eric & Ann

Spring Cove Marina is an excellent facility, very protected. Trevor and Will and all staff treat you like family. The marina is family owned and operated - and all staff are courteous and available should you need assistance. The ships store has most essentials and surprisingly unexpected niceties. West Marine is within (close) walking distance - & Spring Cove offers bikes and operates a shuttle for further location access (groceries, retail, dinning, sight seeing) The marina includes well maintained grounds with shaded picnic areas and a great pool to cool down on hot days. -Dale H.
BEST OF THE BEST! 2013 - Everything I said in my 2012 review still stands. This year we came back intending to stay 2 nights and have now signed up for several months. When we arrived we were having problems with a blocked waste line. Within minutes of asking for help Kevin arrived from their shop. He was the most efficient worker we have ever had on the boat...knew exactly what to do and how to do it. Once he identified the problem he only had to make one trip to the shop for supplies. He replaced the line in less than 2 hours, charged us for exactly the amount of time spent, and charged us substantially less for the replacement hose than we would have paid at West Marine even with our 15% discount coupon. Once again, all of the staff here are the greatest and the owner, Trevor, is hands on and goes out of his way to satisfy. We just can't say enough good things about this place. And on top of it all, they have recycling available!Our only wish would be for cable TV at the slip, but at least they have the lounge with new large flat screen TV. Also, great book exchange! -Capt. Betsy Johnson "Rick 'n Roll"
Facilities, location, setting, management, upkeep and attitude are unmatched from Havre de Grace to Norfolk. Our hands-down favorite for 24 years. -L.O. "Pasttime II"
The setting is beautiful, the facilities are complete and well-maintained, and the staff has been enthusiastically helpful at every turn. Even the beer selection in the shop is top notch. I understand why so many people make this a regular stop. Capt M. Miller
Cannot say enough about this place. Friendly staff. Family run with owners hands on. Great bar and a really cool rum punch. The Marina store has a little of everything and beer and wine. Aked the bartender where to watch the fireworks from and he said right here at the pool. He wasn't wrong and bar was open till 10 ish. Would stay here again and again. -B.C.
"Now that we are home, I wanted to send you a note to thank you and thank all of your professional staff at Spring Cove Marina for ensuring that we had an enjoyable and safe stay at your facility. As I mentioned to you one day, we've traveled from Lake Ontario down to the Florida Keys, and your marina is by far the BEST marina that we've ever stayed at. I have and I will continue to recommend to all my friends passingthrough the Chesapeake Bay to stay at Spring Cove Marina. Thank you." -J&R.W "Imagine"
This is perhaps the best marina on the Chesapeake. Service is outstanding with a most helpful staff ranging from the ships store lady, Sam, to the management. We went back to ride out Hurricane Sandy. Ended up staying almost a week. As usual the staff was great and we very much appreciated their shuttle service. Finally, their four day and weekly dockage rate was extremely reasonable.This is a class act! -Capt H. Bruce

“Spring Cove continues to be well-managed, friendly, clean and very pretty. The free “in-slip” pumpout, we believe, demonstrates a real commitment to the health of the Bay and we commend that attitude. Thanks for many years of good service.” -R & C.L.
"This is the most well-run marina we have seen in a long time. We wintered our boat here and had some major bottom work done. Great communication between the boatyard staff and us on the repair work throughout the winter. There was never any pressure, things went like clockwork, even when we launched and stayed for 4 days (pay 3 and the 4th is free). The "Clean Marina" title is well deserved & everyone is professional and friendly. They have bikes and a free shuttle service available." -K.M.

“The professional association which my wife and I have enjoyed with you over the past several years is one of the best in my experience. Before we settled on Spring Cove with the first “M&M” we looked at multiple marinas in Maryland and Virginia. Yours appeared to be undoubtedly the best we observed. But the real quality and pleasure came only in later years as we came to know you and your crew and to utilize your services. You have assembled an outstanding group of dedicated, personable and highly competent crew who understand boats, their owners and their needs. Liz, Will, Alan, Don, Scotty, Ben, Donnie and Terry are superlative, both as professionals and as individuals. Whenever I had a problem it was addressed promptly and efficiently. This was especially true the many times I needed a repair quickly before an anticipated cruise. We will miss you and your wonderful “family”. I know that you will help the new owners of M&M get settled in.” -M. & M.S.

The British family who complained about the price of ice creams in Rome have been offered a free holiday in the Eternal City.
The Bannister family from Dudley in the West Midlands have been invited by the mayor of Rome as an apology after they fell into a tourist trap on a trip this week.
“My wife is having a look at the flights and the situation,” said Roger Bannister, a company executive. “It’s a matter of if we can fit it in.” Antonio Gazzellone, Rome’s top tourist official, said the local hotel association would cover the cost of the Bannisters’ hotel and the restaurant association of the famed Piazza Navona would provide meals — and ice cream.
The city government will provide a “Roma…

China’s public transport is comprehensive and good value: you can fly to all regional capitals and many cities, the rail network extends to every region, and you can reach China’s remotest corners on local buses. Tibet is the one area where there are widespread restrictions on independent travel.
However, getting around such a large, crowded country requires planning, patience and stamina. This is especially true for long-distance journeys, where you’ll find that travelling in as much comfort as you can afford saves a lot of undue stress. Tours are one way of taking the pressure off, and may be the only practical way of getting out to certain sights. China is also not the easiest country in which to travel independently: families and older travellers might prefer to book a tour with one of the agents.
Public holidays – especially the May, October and Spring Festival breaks – are rotten times to travel, as half of China is on the move between family and workplace: ticket prices rise (legally by no more than 15 percent, though often by up to double), bus- and train-station crowds swell insanely, and even flights become scarce.
China’s rail network is vast, efficient and reliable. The country invests billions of yuan annually on the network, considering a healthy transport infrastructure as essential to economic growth – and political cohesion. Recent years have seen some impressive developments: a rail line over the mountains between eastern China and Tibet completed in 2005; the country’s first ultra-fast bullet trains, which began operation in eastern China in 2007; and an expanding web of high-speed networks between major cities.
Food, though expensive and ordinary, is always available on trains, either from trolleys serving snacks and polystyrene boxes of rice and stir-fries or in a dedicated restaurant car. You can also buy snacks from vendors at train stations during the longer station stops.
Timetables and tickets
It’s easiest to check train schedules online; travelchinaguide.com/china-trains is one good, and usually up-to-date, source of information.
Tickets – always one-way – show the date of travel and destination, along with the train number, carriage, and seat or berth number. They become available up to twenty days in advance, though it can be as little as four. Station ticket offices are all computerized, and while queues can tie you up for an hour or more of jostling, you’ll generally get what you’re after if you have some flexibility – note that you’ll need to show your passport when booking tickets. At the counter, state your destination, the train number if possible, the day you’d like to travel, and the class you want, and have some alternatives handy. If you can’t speak Chinese, get someone to write things down for you before setting out, as staff rarely speak English.
In all cities, you’ll also find downtown advance purchase offices, where you pay a small commission (¥5/ticket); it makes sense to try these places first, as train stations – especially for high-speed services – are often located far from city centres. Agents, such as hotel travel services, can also book tickets for a commission of ¥30 or more each. The best way to book tickets online, and have them delivered to your hotel door in major Chinese cities, is through travelchinaguide.com; you’ll pay a surcharge of about 25 percent for this.
If you’ve bought a ticket but decide not to travel, you can get most of the fare refunded by returning the ticket to a ticket office. The process is called tuipiao (退票, tuìpiào), and there’s usually a dedicated window for this at stations.
Types of train
The different types of train each have their own code on timetables. Swanky high-speed services (C-, D- and G-class), which travel up to 350km/h, now link many cities in the east of the country, and often travel from dedicated high-speed stations. The trains are kept in excellent condition, with surprisingly clean Western-style toilets, reclining seats, and a decent enough amount of legroom.
High-speed routes are supplemented by, and others are still reliant upon, regular Z-, T- and K-class trains, which can still reach 150–200km/h. These all have modern fittings with text tickers at the carriages’ end scrolling through the temperature, arrival time at next station and speed. Toilets are usually Western-style in soft sleeper carriages, and squat elsewhere; the latter can be truly disgusting.
Ordinary trains (普通车, pŭtōng chē) have a number only and range from those with clean carriages and able to top 100km/h, to ancient plodders destined for the scrapheap with cigarette-burned linoleum floors and grimy windows. A few busy, short-haul express services, such as the Shenzhen–Guangzhou train, have double-decker carriages.
No-smoking rules are vigorously enforced on high-speed trains, though on slower services it’s still common to see passengers puffing away between carriages.
On high-speed services there are two seat classes, the only real difference between them being a two-two seat arrangement in first, compared to the three-two arrangement in second.
On regular trains, there are four ticket classes: soft sleeper, hard sleeper, soft seat and hard seat, not all necessarily available on each train. Soft sleeper (软卧, ruănwò) costs around the same as flying, and gets you a berth in a four-person compartment with a soft mattress, fan and optional radio. Hard sleeper (硬卧, yìngwò), about two-thirds the price of soft sleeper, is the best value. Carriages are divided into twenty sets of three-tiered bunks; the lowest bunk is the largest, but costs more and gets used as communal seating during the day; the upper bunk is cheapest but headroom is minimal. Each set of six bunks has its own vacuum flask of boiled water (topped up from the urn at the end of each carriage) – bring your own mugs and tea. There are fairly spacious luggage racks, though make sure you chain your bags securely while you sleep.
In either sleeper class, on boarding the carriage you will have your ticket exchanged for a metal tag by the attendant. The tag is swapped back for your ticket (so you’ll be able to get through the barrier at the station) about half an hour before you arrive at your destination, whatever hour of the day or night this happens to be.
Soft seat (软座, ruănzuò) is widespread on services whose complete route takes less than a day. Seats cost around the same as express-bus fare, have plenty of legroom and are well padded. More common is hard seat (硬座, yìngzuò), which costs around half the soft-seat fare but is only recommended for relatively short journeys, as you’ll be sitting on a padded three-person bench, with every available bit of floor space crammed with travellers who were unable to book a seat. You’ll often be the focus of intense and unabashed speculation from peasants and labourers who can’t afford to travel in better style.
Finally, if there’s nothing else available, you can buy an unreserved ticket (无座, wúzuò; literally “no seat”), which lets you board the hard-seat section of the train – though you might have to stand for the entire journey if you can’t upgrade on board.
Boarding the train
Turn up at the station with at least 30min to spare before your train leaves. You’ll need to show your passport and ticket to be allowed into the station; all luggage is then x-rayed to check for dangerous goods such as firecrackers. You next need to work out which platform your train leaves from – most stations have electronic departure boards in Chinese (high-speed stations have dual-language boards), or you can show your ticket to station staff who will point you in the right direction. Passengers are not allowed onto the platform until the train is almost in, which can result in some mighty stampedes out of the crowded waiting rooms when the gates open. Carriages are numbered on the outside, and your ticket is checked by a guard as you board. Once on the train, you can upgrade any ticket at the controller’s booth, in the hard-seat carriage next to the restaurant car (usually #8), where you can sign up for beds or seats as they become available.
By bus and minibus
Buses go everywhere that trains go, and well beyond, usually more frequently but more slowly. Finding the departure point isn’t always easy though; even small hamlets can have multiple bus stations, generally located on the side of town in which traffic is heading.
Bus station timetables – except electronic ones – can be ignored; ask station staff about schedules and frequencies, though they generally can’t speak English. Tickets are easy to buy: ticket offices at main stations are computerized, queues are seldom bad, and – with the exception of backroad routes, which might only run every other day – you don’t need to book in advance. In country towns, you sometimes buy tickets on board the bus. Destinations are always displayed in Chinese characters on the front of the vehicle. Take some food along, although buses usually pull up at inexpensive roadhouses at mealtimes. Only the most upmarket coaches have toilets; drivers stop every few hours or if asked to do so by passengers (roadhouse toilets are some of the worst in the country, however).
Downsides to bus travel include drivers who spend the journey chatting on their mobile phone or coast downhill in neutral, with the engine off; and the fact that vehicles are obliged to use the horn before overtaking anything – earplugs are recommended. Roadworks are a near-certainty too, as highways are continually being repaired, upgraded or replaced; in 2010, a 100km-long jam on the Tibet–Beijing highway, blamed on roadworks, took nine days to clear.
Types of buses
There are various types of buses, though there’s not always a choice available for particular routes, and, if there is, station staff will assume that as a foreigner you’ll want the fastest, most comfortable and most expensive service.
Ordinary buses (普通车, pŭtōng chē) are cheap and basic, with lightly padded seats; they’re never heated or air-conditioned, so dress accordingly. Seats can be cramped and luggage racks tiny; you’ll have to put anything bulkier than a satchel on the roof or your lap, or beside the driver. They tend to stop off frequently, so don’t count on an average speed of more than 30km/h.
Express buses (快车, kuài chē) are the most expensive and have good legroom, comfy seats that may well recline, air-conditioning and video. Bulky luggage gets locked away in the belly of the bus, a fairly safe option.
Sleeper buses (卧铺车, wòpù chē) have cramped, basic bunks instead of seats, minimal luggage space and a poor safety record, and are not recommended if there is any alternative.
The final option is minibuses (小车, xiăochē; or 包车, bāochē) seating up to twenty people, common on routes of less than 100km or so. They cost a little more than the same journey by ordinary bus, can be extremely cramped, and often circuit the departure point for ages until they have filled up.
China’s airlines link all major cities, and services are becoming more and more regular. The main operators are Air China (www.airchina.com.cn), China Southern (cs-air.com), China Eastern (www.ce-air.com) and Hainan Airlines (hainanairlines.com); along with smaller regional companies they are overseen by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, or CAAC. Flying is a luxury worth considering for long distances, especially since prices can actually be lower than soft-sleeper train travel; planes are modern and well maintained and service is good.
Buying tickets from local airline offices or hotel desk tour agents is easy, and there are enough flights along popular routes to cope with demand. Agents often give substantial discounts on advertised fares, especially if you book a day or two in advance. Competitive fares are available if you buy e-tickets online at elong.net or english.ctrip.com. You’ll need to provide a phone number to confirm the booking (your hotel’s will do), and to book more than 24 hours in advance if using an overseas credit card.
Fares are based on one-way travel (so a return ticket is the price of two one-way tickets) and include all taxes. As an illustration, from Beijing, expect to pay at least ¥740 to Xi’an; ¥900 to Shanghai; ¥1120 to Chengdu; ¥1230 to Shenzhen; ¥1000 to Kunming; ¥1440 to Ürümqi, and ¥2100 to Hong Kong.
There are usually buses running to and from the airport; check the individual city entries in this Guide. Check-in time for all flights is 90min before departure.
Though there are few public ferries in China, you can make one of the world’s great river journeys down the Yangzi between Chongqing and Yichang, via the mighty Three Gorges – though the spectacle has been lessened by the construction of the giant Three Gorges Dam. Another favourite is the day-cruise down the Li River between Guilin and Yangshuo in southwestern Guangxi province, past a forest of pointy pinnacles looking just like a Chinese scroll painting. By sea, there are passenger ferries between Hong Kong and Macau, and between Guangxi and Hainan Island.
Conditions on board are greatly variable, but on overnight trips there’s always a choice of classes – sometimes as many as six – which can range from a bamboo mat on the floor right through to private cabins. Don’t expect anything too impressive, however; many mainland services are cramped and overcrowded, and cabins, even in first-class, are grimly functional.
China has the highest number of bicycles (自行车, zìxíngchē) of any country in the world, with about a quarter of the population owning one, despite a rising trend towards mopeds, motorbikes and cars. Few cities have any hills and some have bike lanes, though many of the bigger cities are in the process of banning bicycles from main roads in order to free them up for cars.
Rental shops or booths are common around train stations, where you can rent a set of wheels for ¥10–20 a day. You will need to leave a deposit (¥200–400) and/or some form of ID, and you’re fully responsible for anything that happens to the bike while it’s in your care, so check brakes, tyre pressure and gears before renting. Most rentals are bog-standard black rattletraps – the really deluxe models feature working bells and brakes. There are repair shops all over the place should you need a tyre patched or a chain fixed up (¥10–30). If the bike sustains any serious damage, it’s up to the parties involved to sort out responsibility and payment on the spot. Always use a bicycle chain or lock – they’re available everywhere – and in cities, leave your vehicle in one of the ubiquitous designated parking areas, where it will be guarded by an attendant for a small fee.
An alternative to renting is to buy a bike, a sensible option if you’re going to be based anywhere for a while. All department stores sell them: a heavy, unsophisticated machine will only set you back about ¥350, whereas a mountain bike will be upwards of ¥600. A folding bike (around ¥450) is a great idea, as you can cycle around all day and, when you’re tired, put it in the boot of a taxi; plus, you can take it from one destination to another on the bus. You can also bring your own bike into China; international airlines usually insist that the front wheel is removed, deflated and strapped to the back, and that everything is thoroughly packaged. Inside China, airlines, trains and ferries all charge to carry bikes, and the ticketing and accompanying paperwork can be baffling. Another option is to see China on a specialized bike tour such as those offered by Bike China (bikechina.com), Bike Asia (bikeasia.com) or Cycle China (cyclechina.com).
Local tour operators, who are listed throughout the Guide, offer excursions ranging from city coach tours to river cruises and multiday cross-country hikes or horse treks. While you always pay for the privilege, sometimes these tours are good value: travel, accommodation and food – usually plentiful and excellent – are generally included, as might be the services of an interpreter and guide. And in some cases, tours are virtually the only way to see something really worthwhile, saving endless bother organizing local transport and accommodation. In general, foreign-owned operations tend to give better service – or at least to understand better what Westerners want when they take a tour.
On the downside, there are disreputable operators who’ll blatantly overcharge for mediocre services, foist unhelpful guides on you and spend three days on what could better be done in an afternoon. Bear in mind that many Chinese tour guides are badly paid, and supplement their income by taking tourists to souvenir shops where they’ll receive commissions. It always pays to make exhaustive enquiries about the exact nature of the tour, such as exactly what the price includes and the departure/return times, before handing any money over.
All Chinese cities have some form of public transit system. An increasing number have (or are building) light-rail systems and underground metros; elsewhere, the city bus is the transport focus. These are cheap and run from 6am–10pm or later, but (Hong Kong’s apart) they’re usually slow and crowded. Pricier private minibuses often run the same routes in similar comfort but at greater speed; they’re either numbered or have their destination written up at the front.
Taxis are always available in larger towns and cities; main roads, transit points and tourist hotels are good places to find them. They cost a fixed rate of ¥5–13 within certain limits, and then add from ¥1 per kilometre. You’ll also find (motorized or cycle-) rickshaws in touristy areas, whose highly erratic rates are set by bargaining beforehand.
