For the collection, you need that ticket pick up number (start with "E") and the original travel document (passport). You can use both of them to collect the paper ticket at railway station ticket counter.

Left luggage Chengdu East

I want to leave my luggage in the left luggage lockers at the East station whilst I hike Mt Emei. This will mean they will be there 4 days. Is this allowed?

Answers (1)

Answered by Solomon | May. 25, 2018 04:35

Not sure about the locker, but the left luggage office should be OK. It is better to confrim the open time with the staff there if you plan to collect the luggage back in early morning or at night.
