We were planning to travel Chongqing to Xi’an by sleeper on the 11th May, and Xi’an to Beijing on 13th May. We had done the reservation attempt thing with trip.com for both these journeys, but it failed to secure tickets on release for either and I can see on railway 12306 they are sold out.

There was another sleeper for Xi’An to Beijing that I attempted to buy tickets this morning after release through trip.com but it also failed to secure them despite showing that they’re still available. We can’t get the railway 12306 app or website to verify our accounts. Is there any other alternative reliable platforms we can use to secure these tickets?
