Generally speaking,you need to arrive at the railway station an hour before the train leaves.However,if
you take a train during the Spring Festival or holidays,you are advised to be two hours early.Here are the
basic steps for boarding.
Enter the railway station.
There are Xray machines at the entrance of each railway station.All the luggage (行李) has to be
passed through to examine for dangerous things.Once you put your luggage on the machine,please go to
the other side and fetch it quickly in case that your luggage is taken either by mistake or on purpose.
Find the right waiting room.
After you enter the railway station,you should find the terminal hall (候车厅) where your train is going
to leave from.There are always electronic boards at the railway station with information shown in Chinese.You can find your waiting room according to the information given on your train ticket,or you can ask a
member of staff for help if you are in trouble with Chinese.
Get onto the platform (月台)．
In most cases,checkin starts 30 minutes before the train leaves if it is the starting station.So you are
advised to arrive at the station one hour early.If it is not a starting station,checkin starts when the train
arrives,then you just need to be 30 minutes early.You will be informed by radio then.Remember to take all your luggage!
Board the train
The train number and the carriage (车厢) number are shown outside the train clearly；therefore it is
easy to find your carriage.There is a member of staff at the door of each carriage to whom you are
required to show your ticket.If you board on the wrong carriage,he / she will guide you to the right one.
