Lots of Chinese heading to border so I just followed the crowd. You come to passport control but there are no lanes for foreigners, only Chinese citizens. I retraced my steps and found a little door that has "foreigner" above it. From there it is two flights of stairs down to the second floor. This was the only awkward spot in the whole trip. I picked up my two carryons and suitcase (samsonite 26" spinner) and climbed down the two flights of stairs.
