-I would NOT advise writing your own name/number a second time; I suppose your hotel name and number will be fine
I'm planning on leaving early the next morning to Zhengzhou from Beijing West. Looking forward to joining the mosh pit to buy tickets (do I need a local SIM to do so these days?) I used to go to those 代售处 agents to buy tickets, since there were never any queues. Are those still a thing?
-I think you can buy train tickets from ctrip using your email address (instead of a local phone number)
-and, I believe that 售票处 can still issue physical tickets on the spot
-of course, you'll probably want a local SIM if you're going to be in China for more than a few days, but that could probably wait until after you get to Zhengzhou
