Q: Are there train cards to go from city to city?

This may seem like a long shot, but I'm coming down to Shenzhen soon and will probably be traveling around the South of China. What's the easiest way of going about it? Are there monthly train/bus/anything passes to travel?

Basically is there anything that might facilitate me traveling around in just southern china?

There is not a train card (or "pass" as we know it) in China yet. You must buy each leg you wish to travel. Tickets are only sold in a two weeks into the futrure window from today, anything further away than two weeks will not be sold.

You can buy tickets at train stations and be prepared for long lines and over one hour of wait. I use some travel agancies for my train tickets, no time wasted in line, and only charge me 5 yuan over ticket cost for their service.

Do not buy train tickets from idividuals, could be expired or fakes, and will not be honored.

If I travel by train under 3 or 4 hours in time, I use " soft seat" category. Anything over 4 hours, I use "soft sleeper, lower bed" only. Remember to bring toothbrush, toothpaste, toilet paper, snacks and drinks, and I do bring a good book to read also.

Normally, on soft sleeper cars, one end will have chinese toilet, the other end will have a western type toilet

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
