Remember to carry your passport at all times, as you'll need it to buy a train ticket.
Even a simple metro ticket.
You can also smile at the CCTV cameras, which are in groups every 100m or so within cities.
- magnuznilzzon 2y agoTrain tickets sure, for the high speed rail, but metro? Not in Shanghai at least
- Symbiote 2y agoMetro ticket machines in Beijing won't sell a ticket until you've scanned an identity card. Tourists must wait at the ticket window. Foreigners aren't usually asked to show the passport unless they look Chinese.
- dom3k 2y agoNo need to wait at no window. After you activate Alipay, just click on "Transport" and create a metro card for Beijing. Scan code on enter, scan on exit, pay the sweet low fare automatically. One app, 30+ cities.
