00ReplyYes, sure! You can buy tickets directly at any railway station in China mainland by holding your travel document. Their online official website should not work for non Chinese people, but always works at station ticket counter.

00ReplyIt seems no policy mentioned about the details, it mainly depends on the judgement by station staff on spot. However, it is true that stations become more strict about it now, even small fruits knife are not allowed.

00ReplyThe only official website would be 12306.com, but it is a pity that it only offer Chinese service. If you cannot read Chinese, it cannot work. I booked a few tickets to Suzhou with this website, the booking process went well. You can have a try.
