At 北京西站 (Beijing West Railway Station | Běijīng Xī Zhàn), a traveler navigates through the hustle and bustle to catch a 列车 (train | lièchē). They check the 车次 (train number | chēcì) on their ticket and prepare for a possible 换乘 (transfer | huànchéng) to a 快车 (fast train | kuàichē) or 慢车 (slow train | mànchē). Their trip includes a ride on a 直达车 (direct train | zhídá chē), and they've chosen a 软卧 (soft sleeper | ruǎnwò) for comfort over a 硬卧 (hard sleeper | yìngwò).
At the 自动售票机 (ticket machine | zìdòng shòupiào jī), they notice options for 退票 (ticket refund | tuìpiào) and 改签 (ticket exchange | gǎiqiān), subject to 实名认证 (real name verification | shímíng rènzhèng). Aware of the possibility of 晚点 (delays | wǎndiǎn), they prepare to 候车 (wait | hòuchē) in the lounge. Before boarding, they check the 车厢 (carriage | chēxiāng) and 座号 (seat number | zuò hào) on their ticket.
At each stop, they listen for 到站提醒 (arrival reminders | dàozhàn tíxǐng) and watch out for 过站 (missing their stop | guòzhàn). They use 行李寄存 (luggage storage | xínglǐ jìcún) facilities to keep their luggage safe and are prepared to 补票 (pay the fare difference | bǔpiào) if necessary. Throughout their journey, they will follow 站牌 (station signs | zhànpái) and comply with all 检查 (inspections | jiǎnchá) for a safe and enjoyable rail journey in China.
