Buying train ticket in Shanghai
Booking a ticket was easier than I had thought. I wanted to book train tickets to go to Beijing from Shanghai. If you need to do the same, then go to Shanghai railway station. You can reach there by taking Metro line 1, 3 or 4. There is a station by the same name. I dont exactly remember the exit which leads to the ticket booking office. But when you come out of that exit, you will see the booking office (Thank God !! the board is written in English) on your left, across the road. Unfortunately most of the information inside is in Chinese. Thus I decided to go to a ticket window and started explaining my requirement (which I had written on a paper in English and had the same translated in Chinese with the help of my hotel front desk). The lady on the other side of the window couldnt communicate in English and thus she called one of her colleagues and surprise surprise !! She was able to speak English and told me that there are no hard sleeper coaches on the 'T' train. Thus I bought tickets on the 'Z' category trains which have soft sleeper coaches and are most modern. I have seen some snaps on the internet and the interior is really nice. And buying a ticket is similar to buying a movie ticket. Just tell the number of passengers, date of travel and 'From' and 'To' stations.
Thats it !! Buying a train ticket in Shanghai is that easy. Enjoy !!
