During the Spring Festival traffic real headache.
Started a few days in advance to prepare the first choice of course, non-stop from Beijing to Huangshan. However, spending a few hours, check numerous ticketing website (Internet and telephone) were, without exception, turned out to be very frustrating: not be discounted during the Spring Festival. So I chose to abandon the aircraft. Although I have only seven days leave, although the plane should be much faster, 2 hours of flying time, across the Yellow River, Huaihe and Yangtze River, fly directly to Huang Shan, but the price to be paid 1,000 yuan for air fares, there are 50 airports in construction cost, and Tianjin to Beijing airport, transportation, etc. thousand fees. Think of a train or a bar. Fortunately, I did this a wise choice, perhaps because of this, after only a pretext for corruption. . .
From the first railway line (http://036.com.cn/) on booking train tickets can be 6 days earlier than the train station ticket required time of 1 day ahead of schedule, Beijing's donkey blessed, and can be set directly from the Internet before Beijing issued tickets, you can also get votes in the city's dozens of sites, and the only cost 5 yuan per ticket handling fee. Before there is a CEI-line booking system (http://train.cei.gov.cn/) can be 8-12 days in advance online booking of train tickets originating Beijing is very convenient and very reliable, last year I go to Guilin It was there that set the votes, only go to Beijing to get tickets. But this time, I visited several times, try to despair, but also the same answer, the system suspend online booking. Does anyone know how this is one thing, when you can recover?
Train to Huangshan The best option is: K45 from Beijing to Fuzhou, intermediate Huangshan, hard-seat fare during the Spring Festival 209 yuan, according to different shops are hard sleeper 380 yuan, as early as 9:03 start, run 20 hours 30 minutes, the next day 05:40 to Huangshan entire 1531 kilometers. For me, because it is in Tianjin, Beijing and the K45 is the first stop after the start, Tianjin West Railway Station, will be arriving 10:30. So, if we can get the train in Tianjin West --- Huangshan Mountain, that is, on the choice of the. Although the slim hope, but also worth a try. Think about it, the first month started this morning, back a big bag rushed to Beijing Railway Station by train, then boarded a train back to Tianjin, another trip to West Station, catch the fare, time and effort really worth it do not speak, write out is even more ridiculous.
The next work, to paraphrase a political term, that is, "grasp with both hands." For me, his hands are far from enough, calculate qualify as four hands: the
First, Tianjin West Railway Station to confirm the date and hard sleeper ticket number, the same day in advance to the queue;
Second, on behalf of Tianjin's can provide train tickets travel agencies, requesting on behalf of the estates; required to pay a fee 40 - 50 yuan / Zhang;
The third is from the Tianjin Longda consignment Office (174 North Jiefang Road, Tianjin, Tianjin, Beijing's rail exclusive ticketing agent) to provide for sending to Beijing to Huangshan K45; directly from there to get tickets, charge 30 yuan / Zhang;
Fourth, from the first set to the iron-line originating from Beijing to Huangshan K45, booking the third day of the second day to get tickets to Beijing, charge 5 yuan / piece.
Needless to say, we all know that I am is based on order of preference. The implementation of the practice, all four hands, it is carried out concurrently.
First and Jiajia (my classmates, colleagues donkey) good division of labor, she was responsible for the West Point inquire about the date and hard sleeper ticket number, and the same day in advance to line up, and I swept the latter three.
Scatter. First, linking a number of travel agents in Tianjin, is the vast majority rejected, the two finally agreed to help me buy a ticket, I have to speak with them is good, first choice Tianjin West - Huangshan, followed by Beijing - Huangshan. After a phone call every day, pay close attention to the progress (although they say that they have booked tickets for me to be out of 8 votes). In the early morning of February 7, shortly after midnight and smooth in the first iron-line reservation for February 12 Beijing - Huangshan hard sleeper 2. The outcome, to go to at 13 o'clock on the 8th clock the wire. Ronda consignment office phone is always busy, and I had personally went to, before we know but also to the February 8 in order to buy 12 tickets.
February 8, the critical day, the possibility of a smooth start on the 12th in one fell swoop at this.
Do not travel the exact message. And Jiajia have played an appointment got up early, she went to Tianjin West Railway Station ticket line, I went to Long Branch up to consignment. 2 they are all ticket sales begin at 8 o'clock. Manpower to a mobile phone has finally played a role, but she was both positive and negative side of the worrisome news:
"Kitty, here, not many people buy a ticket queue in front of me only 10 individuals, to the West Station K45 Hard Sleeper amount is 10, in front of everyone not to buy this tour."
"Kitty, now it has not yet begun selling tickets."
"Kitty, I just bought two hard seat, did not see who is buying the votes of Huangshan, how come can not buy it?"
... ...
My side of the door opened, but added time, but 12 votes to wait until 9 o'clock began to sell. FAINT! 8:30 to go to work ah, I had to call for Jiajia rushed ronda. Although I am not assured, but can not do anything. Sure enough, she gave me the results are: in front of just one person bought two of the hard sleeper from Beijing to Huangshan, the amount per day while the dragon is also the only two, so today we did not hope for ... ...
The first iron-line booking results are not even there any way? ? ? Near-despair, I'll give it two travel agents to call, suddenly, such as spring night, the Ark of the Miss Jiang really get their votes, but also in Tianjin West --- Huangshan! She would come to me ticket delivery.
A long wait, very anxious wait. Finally, the front stereo sound up and Miss, "Kitty, someone looking for you." God, this is simply the most beautiful I have ever heard the sound! Almost ran out, when I Miss Jiang to vote Didao hands, I kissed excited ticket. Only a thin embrace Miss Jiang had. Although she received my 80 processing fee, although I know the ticket at the railway station and the consignment must have been such a travel agent took, but I still thank her, for such travel agents. Frustration, but no regrets.
The afternoon of the first railway line search, is really set on the ticket, although it is useless, but at least proved that the success of the early hours of booking rate is indeed quite high. Glad they begin to worry, fear to be hardships these two tickets is false, has already done a thousand kinds of assumptions, each of which let me uneasy. Too want to go to Huangshan, because done a lot of preparation. Boarded door until the moment, until the train slowly and running, that I truly believe that this is not a dream, from the Huangshan has become increasingly closer.
