Tips for Foreign Travelers

  • Bring your passport — it is your ticket. Enter the station through the manual/护照 lane.

  • Check the departure hall screens for your train number — gates close 3–5 minutes before departure.
  • Book tickets online in advance via Trip.com, especially on weekends and holidays.
