Problem

China transport is efficient, but tourists lose time when station names, passport checks, ticket windows, and city-scale distances are underestimated.

What Changed Recently

Booking flows are more foreigner-friendly than before, but passport-name matching and station choice still matter.

Step-by-step

1. Save station names in English and Chinese.
2. Keep passport details consistent across rail, hotel, and ticket bookings.
3. Use metro first inside cities, then ride-hailing for luggage or late-night gaps.

Failure Cases

• Choosing the wrong rail station.
• Assuming every attraction is near the city center.
• Arriving at stations without passport and booking screenshots.
