How many hours in advance should I arrive at the train station in China?
Traveling to Tibet by train from other cities in China is more economical and easy. Many travelers often ask us how many hours in advance I should arrive at the train station in China.
Here is our answer. It is suggested to arrive at the train station 1.5 hours before the train departure. Trains usually leave on time. Therefore there are a few things you will need to accomplish before the train’s departure.
After arrival at the train station, you will have to retrieve the train ticket from the counter and also fill out the health record form before departure. Additionally, there will be lots of people in line. So we would recommend you arrive 1.5 hours before the departure time.
If possible, we would like to recommend you get the Train Ticket a day before your departure, to avoid the last-minute rush. Ask your hotel or hostel staff for help. We are sure they can help you. It is also recommended to check the drive time to the train station.
If you plan to use public transportation, please research how to reach the train station.
During the National holidays in China, you will have to go a lot earlier. Chinese holidays are considered the world’s biggest migration season, and they will be a lot of people at the train station. For that reason, they will be lots of queue at the station.
Please do not forget to bring a copy of the Tibet travel permit, E-ticket Number and passport with you.
