If you have no time to go to the railway station for buying your high speed tickets, you may ask your travel agent or your hotel\u00a0to purchase your ticket at a certain commision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must send your scanned or copied ID document to your ticket agent. \u00a0 The tickets for the\u00a0high speed train\u00a0ride\u00a0between Beijing and Shanghai will range from RMB 410 yuan to RMB 1,750, based on\u00a0different speeds and seat classes.
