Train Tickets
There are 2 options when buying train tickets in China: online or at the train station ticket booth.
- When purchasing tickets online, no physical copy is needed. New regulations and technology allow foreign travelers to simply scan their passports at the turnstiles/gate. To avoid any scanning issues, choose the lane closest to the attendant when entering the train platform.
- Buying tickets at the station is also possible, however, please note that trains can fill up quickly so there is no guarantee you will get a seat with a last-minute purchase.
