The railway department reminded that passengers will travel intensively during the National Day holiday. Passengers entering and exiting the station should try to prepare valid documents in advance, follow the guidance of the staff, and enter and exit the station in an orderly manner. Many cities have two or more train stations. Be sure to recognize the station names marked on the tickets and do not go to the wrong station. On the day of boarding, it is recommended to go out in advance to leave enough time for urban transportation, security inspection at the station, etc.
