Ask a QuestionAccording to China railway regulations, child under 14 years old is not allowed to travel alone on train without accompany.
China Railway implemented real-name management of children's discount tickets for train tickets from January 1, 2023. Children aged 6-14 can use their own identity documents to purchase children's discount tickets. Children without valid identity documents can purchase children's tickets with the accompanying adult's identity document (the name, identity document type, and identity document number should belong to the same person).
Children 14 years of age or older are required to purchase full price tickets.
Each ticket-holding adult passenger can carry one child under 6 years old who does not occupy a seat for free, but when the child under 6 years old exceeds one, the excess number needs to purchase a children's discount ticket. If the child you carry for free needs to use a seat separately, you also need to buy a children's discount ticket.
When you carry a free-riding child, you should declare to the railway transportation enterprise in advance when buying a ticket. If you do not declare when buying a ticket, you must go to the station ticket window to complete the declaration procedures before boarding the train. There are currently four ways to declare, namely the railway 12306 official website, the railway 12306 client, the self-service ticket machine and the population ticket window.
Children passengers need to enter the station through real-name verification and ticket-checking gates. If they cannot be identified, they can go through the manual channel to check whether the age meets the standard for selling children's discount tickets, and complete the real-name verification and entry-exit ticket-checking procedures.
