I will take a train too. Please also allow time to buy (or even pick up a ticket for a foreigner). "Gate" closes about 5 minutes prior to departure and train usually leaves about 1-2 minutes EARLY.
This is a good point - can you help me understand what the steps are to pick up a ticket (maybe bought from ctrip) for a foreigner/english speaker? Is this a difficult/time consuming process? Any tips/tricks?
