⚠️Notes⚠️
🚄High-speed railway
・There is a baggage inspection gate at the entrance to the station building. Foreigners can only pass through gates with station staff (be sure to show your passport).
・Ticket gates inside the station start lining up about 30 minutes before departure. Here too, foreigners should line up at the ticket gates with station staff (most of them are at the very end).
*Departure and arrival times may be earlier. . There will be no delays even if the train is canceled. . Mysterious🤔
Museum
・It's better to assume that reservations are required for Chinese museums. Find the account of the museum you want to go to on WeChat and make a reservation from there!
