Refund regulations

Non-refundable tickets:

Some special tickets, group tickets, designated seat tickets, etc., are usually non-refundable once purchased.

Tickets canceled within a short period of time before departure may also not be refunded.

Refundable tickets:

Some ordinary tickets can apply for a refund under certain conditions.

You can contact us 48 hours before departure to apply for a refund (except for special tickets), and a 60% handling fee will be deducted for the refund.

Rescheduling regulations

Rescheduling conditions:

Whether you can reschedule and the handling fee for rescheduling depends on the ticket type, railway company and specific circumstances.

Some ticket types can be rescheduled, but a certain handling fee needs to be paid.

The price of the ticket after the rescheduling may change.

Rescheduling method:

Generally, you need to go to the station to handle the rescheduling procedures before boarding.

Some railway companies support online rescheduling.
