Separate the travel tasks
China Railway 12306 distinguishes ticket purchases, trip changes, information queries and onboard or station services. Search schedules first for a new journey, or use the order path for an existing ticket.

Beyond ticket purchase
The site lists one-way, return and transfer searches, changes and refunds, train status, timetables and published fares. Passenger guidance and lost-property assistance are separate services.
