I read a story about someone "stuck" with a hard seat ticket on a long train ride:

That day, a "hard seat" train ticket was my only option to leave from Wu Han, the transportation hub in the middle of China to Guizhou, a capital city in the south west mountain region some 15 hours away. All other classes, soft sleeper, hard sleeper, and soft seat--in decreasing order of comfort--were sold out.

While such a journey can make for an "experience" or a source for complaining, depending on your disposition, there actually is a way out of it -- from what I hear, more times than not.

Review of Far East IYH (International Youth Hostel) by robby (5), 22. Februar 2006

a wonderful hostel in beijing,good location with many restaurants near by,a walking distance to Tian An Men And Forbidden city,very convenient especially for shopping and take a closer look at residents life style.staff are nice and friendly,they speak good english,free internet is helpful for travelers.I like this hostel very much.

Budget Airline Tiger Airlines (based in Singapore) has gotten permission to service 3 southern cities in China.  The article doesn't mention which cities these are going to be.

Have ten days holiday coming up soon. Am based in HK and plan to catch the train from HK to Guangzhou and then on to Kunming. After that not sure. Would like to go Lijiang, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Dali, Shangri-la and then ???? Will be heading back to HK by train also. Want to travel as much as possible by soft sleeper class. Can anyone suggest what would be the best route and what the train tickets cost approximately. Also, do the trains keep pretty much to schedule or do they usually run late. Sorry to sound so naive but hey, we all have to start some time

Thanks for any advice. 

Please, does anyone know how much a bed will cost me in Lhasa??

I can't find any info on the net about this.

Also, I am wondering how much a railway trip from Lhasa to Xi'ang will cost? What is the cheapest way to travel thorugh China?

(I will be visiting Lhasa, Xi'an, Shanghai and last but not least Beijing)

IF ANYONE GOT A GOOD LINK TO SOMETHING THAT MIGHT HELP ME WITH THIS, PLEASE POST IT!

New York Times article about how World Heritage sites status can turn a place into a mass tourist attraction, rather than protecting it.

In Lijiang, China, where his group has been working to preserve the ancient houses and culture of the Naxi people, he said that soon after its nomination to the list in 1997, Lijiang was beleaguered by development.

"They had no zoning, no planning," Mr. Morgan said. "Suddenly the first tourist hotels went in." Soon, he said, there
