A reporter recently learned from China Railway Shanghai Bureau Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Shanghai Bureau Group Co., Ltd.) that in order to further meet the differentiated travel needs, Shanghai Bureau Group Co., Ltd. will launch three high-speed rail tourism ticket products from August 26, "tailor-made" for passengers to travel through three cities in 7 days. New travel experience.
What is a high-speed rail ticket? How to buy it and how to use it? How big is the discount?
1 purchase, 3 rides, valid for 7 days
The reporter learned that the three high-speed rail tourism ticket products launched this time, namely "Shanghai + Dongtai + Yangzhou", "Hangzhou + Qiandao Lake + Huangshan" and "Nanjing + Huai'an + Yancheng", use the new combination sales model of "one purchase, three rides, valid for 7 days" to provide passengers with convenient, preferential and free new travel experience.
Passengers holding high-speed rail tourist tickets are not limited to specific train numbers, and can choose to take second-class seats on any grade of EMU trains that stop at the corresponding intervals. The product fare is based on the comprehensive EMU train fare in each interval.
How much is the discount on the ticket? The reporter compared the route of "Hangzhou + Qiandao Lake + Huangshan". The reporter checked the railway 12306 website and found that the price of the ticket is 210 yuan, including three second-class high-speed rail tickets of "Hangzhou East (Hangzhou West) - Qiandao Lake - Huangshan West (Huangshan North) - Hangzhou East (Hangzhou West)".
If purchased separately, the three tickets cost about 240 yuan in total. In other words, the high-speed rail ticket for the "Hangzhou + Qiandao Lake + Huangshan" route can save passengers about 30 yuan.

Moreover, in case of special circumstances, if the passenger does not take the train within 30 days after purchasing the product, the product will automatically become invalid and a full refund will be made. At the same time, in case of temporary adjustments to the itinerary, passengers holding high-speed rail tourist tickets can be exempted from the refund fee and enjoy the many people-friendly functions of the tourist ticket product.
For specific purchases, passengers can use the 12306 website, the "Railway 12306" mobile app or self-service ticket machines to make reservations in advance for the corresponding departure and arrival stations and seat types of the products. After reserving seats, passengers can enter the station and check in with the original valid ID card used when purchasing the product.
Many domestic railways have launched high-speed rail tickets
In addition, taking into account the travel habits of the majority of passengers such as "fast travel and slow tour", the free travel time to Dongtai, Yangzhou, Qiandao Lake, Huangshan, Huai'an, Yancheng and other places is generally about 2 to 3 days. In order to allow passengers to have more time to travel, the Shanghai Bureau Group Company set the validity period of the three tourist ticket products to 7 days (including the day) from the date of the first ride. This not only saves many families from the rush of "special forces-style" travel, but also reduces the number of ticket purchases along the way, allowing them to fully enjoy the convenience of life brought by the emergence of high-speed rail.

Railway tickets of this type have been used on many domestic railway lines. On July 6 last year, China Railway officially announced this new ticket product for the first time. Two products were launched: Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Seaside Tour [Beijing South-Tianjin (Tianjin West)], Tianjin (Tianjin West)-Beidaihe, Beidaihe-Beijing (Beijing South)], and Kunming-Dali-Lijiang Tourism Ticket [Kunming (Kunming South)-Dali, Dali-Lijiang, Lijiang-Kunming (Kunming South)]. The prices are 299 yuan and 425 yuan respectively.
Since then, China Railway Wuhan Bureau, MTR Corporation, China Railway Xi'an Bureau and China Railway Nanchang Bureau, etc. have successively launched high-speed rail number-based ticket related products.
The launch of high-speed rail tourism metered ticket products will better leverage the time efficiency advantages of high-speed rail transportation, facilitate economic exchanges and personnel exchanges along the line, further promote the deepening development of the Yangtze River Delta regional economy, county economy, and cultural and tourism economy, and help the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Delta integration.
