anyone know what is the best way to buy high speed train ticket in china?

trip.com got high fee.

12306 app

need local phone number to verify......

I use my email to register.

they request to verify phone number when purchase time.

Huh? You referring to the website or phone app?
I use iOS 12306 and never once they ask for phone number.

Dont think you can test alipay in MY. tried before it failed. I did use it to pay in Taobao and it worked.
DiDi i launched inside Alipay, no issue. used it many times.

Didi Alipay expensive.
Generally I use amap taxi, cheaper.

phone apps.

website forever unable to login.

If so, then you have to resort to trip.com if the train tickets are in high demand.
Else can buy when in China, register yourself a sim card.

Which train tickets & date you aiming for? I can use my app check
