You won't need to pick up physical tickets; just show your passport when you enter the station. Generally, different cities will have different guides serving you, as local guides can better understand the local culture. The guide will take you to the station entrance and instruct you on how to board the train. When disembarking, we recommend that you prepare your luggage at least 5 minutes in advance and wait by the door. If you need the guide to help you board the train or accompany you on the train, we will do our best to accommodate this, which will require purchasing a train ticket for the guide and incur additional guide service fees.
