Tips for grabbing tickets on New Year's Eve 2020

Book a ticket

Some ticket purchasing apps have launched the "Spring Festival Train Ticket Reservation" activity, where you can place an order in advance to reserve tickets. After a successful reservation, the system will automatically reserve tickets after the tickets are released.

Choose a nearby station to buy tickets

If the station ticket you purchased is sold out, you can check the ticket situation at nearby stations, buy tickets from one or two stations after that station, and then get off at the station you want to go to, effectively avoiding popular stations and increasing your chances of grabbing tickets.

Buy a ticket on the bus

If the tickets to your destination are sold out, you can buy a ticket to the transfer station and then find the conductor to buy a new ticket.

Student Discount

The railway department stipulates that the travel period for student tickets is from December 1 to March 31 during the winter vacation, and from June 1 to September 30 during the summer vacation. Students are only limited to purchasing four one-way reduced-price tickets each year. The unused tickets in the current year cannot be carried over for the next year. Discounts are available, with a 50% discount on hard seat tickets, a 25% discount on hard sleeper tickets, and a 25% discount on second-class high-speed rail tickets (tickets must be purchased within the travel range).
