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

trip.com got high fee.

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

they request to verify phone number when purchase time.

phone apps.

website forever unable to login.

25 dec,
still planning what time go, should be noon or afternoon.
Hangzhou to Huangshan.

but i think is not high in demand right?

this coming saturday.
thinking can directly buy at any highspeed station ?

yes ,manage to get the ticket at the train station without any fee.

7 days trip complete with visiting below city,

1. Shanghai
2. Suzhoui
3. WuZhen
4. Hangzhou
5. Huangshan
6. Shenzhen

really amaze with their public transport network.

without local number, many places unable to use wechat or phone to order food or discount voucher.

i overnight at all the location,

too tired for day trip,

wuzhen is like 2+ hour bus from suzhou.

Yes, Wuzhen is worth to go but ready to walk like hell.

i can't finish walk both gate..... tooo huge.

without local phone number, unable to get any discount, or special promo or even order food via wechat.

so purely for wechat pay only.

can't even order lurkin coffee with wechat.

can scan, but cannot put order or use the discount voucher at wechat.

so end up need to ask the waiter help to put down the order or buy the promo deal.

business wanna get business, so they will help you to buy the discount voucher.


even KFC also unable to order, need to go to the counter ask the staff to help order from the POS system...........
