China Train Booking

China Train Booking supports the use of electronic tickets for high-speed rail travel. You do not need to collect paper tickets before departure. Simply use your ID document to board the train easily and quickly. Since the electronic ticket system was implemented on 12306, it has saved 2,000 tons of paper annually, reduced approximately 6 million tons of wastewater discharge each year, and cut carbon emissions by 80,000 tons of CO₂ equivalent.
