How do I know if the high-speed rail ticket I bought is an electronic ticket? How do I enter the station with an electronic high-speed rail ticket?

In 2020, the high-speed rail electronic ticket will be fully implemented. Many people cannot tell whether they bought an electronic ticket or not when buying high-speed rail tickets these days. In fact, when you buy a certain train, the official interface will show which ones support electronic tickets and need to swipe the ID card to enter and exit the station. It is very simple. For specific information on how to enter the station with a high-speed rail electronic ticket, please refer to the introduction provided by this site.

How do I know if the high-speed rail ticket I bought is an electronic ticket?

When purchasing tickets through the 12306 website and APP, when selecting a train, an ID card icon will appear next to the train number, which means that the train supports ID card swiping for entry and exit.

When you successfully issue the ticket, you will receive a text message showing that you have purchased an electronic ticket. There is no need to exchange for a paper ticket. You can simply swipe your ID card to check in and board the train!

Tips: You can receive SMS messages when you purchase tickets online. If you purchase tickets at a counter or ticket vending machine, you need to provide your mobile phone number to receive SMS messages.

How to enter the station with a high-speed rail electronic ticket

Scan your card to enter the station

Complete the real-name verification and ticket inspection procedures by presenting the original valid ID used when purchasing the ticket. (Including second-generation ID card, permanent residence permit for foreigners, residence permit for Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan residents, electronic passport, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan pass)

Scan the QR code on your phone to enter the station

Use the dynamic QR code on the electronic ticket generated by the 12306 mobile app (face verification is required for first time use) to scan the code through the reader on the gate to board the bus.

Where to find ticket information

1. Print the ticket purchase information sheet

After buying the ticket, you can print it yourself, and the page will show your own ticket gate, time, seat, train number, etc. However, it is currently speculated that it is just a transitional method for the implementation of electronic tickets;

2. Electronic screen in the waiting hall

It is still the traditional station screen, which displays the timetable of all trips at the current station. The disadvantage is that you have to keep looking at it, find your train number, and then look at the ticket gate, but there is no information about the number of trains and seats;

3. High-speed rail app

This is the most convenient app for railway travel that I think. It is linked to the 12306 account. After you buy a ticket on 12306, your travel information will be automatically synchronized to this app, which will display your name, seat, ticket gate, departure time, etc. It is like moving the previous paper ticket online. . But there is a disadvantage. For people like me who have a bad memory, I need to take out my phone all the time. It would be perfect if it could be like Air Travel Zongheng. .
