No, I have not, but from previous train experience, that will be a 30+ hours on a train, about 3,100 Kms, 20 stops or so, and I will not settle for anything less than a soft sleeper.  And within a soft sleeper, I will choose a lower bunk, it gives you more room and flexibility.

This is not a direct answer, but kinda related. Be extra careful to book as far ahead as you possibly can (I know this can be tough). Lots of colleagues were grumpy last week because they missed out on train tickets home; seems the trains are particularly busy at the moment because the airport's been shut so often this winter.

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
