Train
Increasingly, ticket sellers at the three main stations speak a bit of English, but
don't bank on it.
Almost all hotels and hostels can buy train tickets for you, for a small com-
mission, of course. Official
train ticket offices
( huochepiao daishouchu) are
dotted around town and charge a very reasonable ¥10 commission per ticket.
