如果你是第一次來北京朝陽站，你可能會發現自己有點困惑于如何去車站？如何買票？如何上火車？
If it's your first time visiting Beijing Chaoyang Station, you might find yourself a little bit confused about how to get to the station, how to buy tickets, and how to get on the train.
但別擔心，因為今天，一位外國朋友會在這趟去往中國的旅游勝地——哈爾濱的旅途中，帶領大家一站式體驗乘坐火車，向更多外國友人展示想了解的一切......
Don’t worry. Today, a foreign friend will show you everything you need to know on his trip to Harbin, one of China’s increasingly popular travel destinations.
01
如何去車站
How to get to the station
京沈客運專線，以北京朝陽站為首發站和終點站，這意味著如果你要乘坐高鐵去中國東北部，你很可能就要從這里開始你的旅程。
The Beijing-Shenyang Passenger Line begins and ends at Beijing Chaoyang Station, which means if you're taking the high speed rail to northeast China, chances are you're going to start your journey right here.
你可以像這位外國朋友一樣坐出租車去車站，或者你也可以選擇公共交通工具，如公交車或網約車服務，但得確保在你出發之前，記住這一點，你需要先確認你要去哪個車站，因為北京有很多不同的火車站。
You can take a taxi to get to the station just as our friend does, or you can opt for public transportation like buses or ride hailing services as well. But just remember to confirm which station you're going to, because there are a lot of different train stations in Beijing.
在我們登上火車之前，安全檢查當然是必要的一步。
Security checks are of course a necessary step before boarding the train.
當我們進入車站時，安保人員將對乘客和隨身攜帶的物品進行檢查，違禁物品包括：常見的爆炸性和易燃物品，比如煙花、鞭炮等爆炸物品及仿制品，還有酒精、煤油、汽油，毒害品和滅鼠藥這樣含劇毒的殺蟲劑。
Upon entering the station,the security personnel will carry out checks on both passengers and our carry-on items. Prohibited articles include: the usual explosive and flammable items such as fireworks, firecrackers or things that might resemble these items, as well as alcohol, kerosene, gasoline, poisonous substances and highly toxic pesticides such as rodenticides.
為了避免錯過火車，最好至少提前三十分鐘到達車站，從而為安全檢查留出充足的時間。
To avoid missing your train, it's best to arrive at the station at least thirty minutes earlier, allowing ample time for the security check.

如何買票
How to buy tickets
對于在中國的外國人來說，使用自助售票機可能會是一個挑戰。然而，在北京朝陽站，這不是個大問題，因為這里提供了一個英語系統，在選擇火車號碼和發車時間等重要步驟時，都會有英語語音提示，這讓自助購票可以更加方便。
Foreigners in China could potentially face challenges when it comes to using self-service ticket machines. However, at Beijing Chaoyang Station this isn't a big problem because it offers an English system here with English voice prompts for important steps like selecting your train number and departure time, which makes it a lot more convenient to buy tickets on your own.
然而，如果你不小心訂錯了票，別擔心，你可以在綜合服務柜臺改簽或退款，那里的工作人員會幫你。
However, If you accidentally booked the wrong ticket, don't worry, you can change your ticket or get a refund at the comprehensive service counter where the staff will help you.
如果你用手機在線購票，你可以直接在線改簽，了解更多改簽信息，看看這個。
If you buy your ticket online with your phone, you can change your ticket directly online. For more information on changing your ticket, check out the following.
但請記住，票只能改簽一次。
But remember tickets can only be changed one time.

如何上火車
How to get on the train
在買了票之后，確保你帶著護照，然后前往身份驗證臺，工作人員會檢查你的護照，然后你就可以進站了。
After buying your ticket, you can take your passport to the ID verification desk where the staff will check your passport before allowing you into the station.
進站后，在這里的大屏幕上，你可以看到所有不同的火車車次，發車時間和上車的站臺位置。
After entering the station, on the big screen here, you can see all the different train numbers, when they leave, and where you board the train.
如去往哈爾濱的火車就在6B這里上車，已經有人在排隊檢票了，對于外國人來說，通常會去人工檢票通道檢票，只需將護照交由工作人員查看后就可上車啦。
The train to Harbin for example, is boarding here at entrance 6B and everyone's already lining up for the ticket check.
For foreigners, they usually head for the manned entrance to have their tickets checked and after showing their passport to the staff, they can board the train smoothly.
看！火車來了！這位外國朋友已經順利登上去往哈爾濱的列車啦，是不是很簡單？
Look! Here comes the train! Our friend has successfully embarked on his trip to Harbin, isn't that easy and simple?
