Which Beijing station should I use for a high-speed train to Shenyang?
Hi. I'll land from BKK at PEK early morning next week and will get a didi to catch a train to Shenyang. Is Chaoyang station, or another, the best to catch a high speed train from? I was planning to book the train from the taxi as I get near the station to factor in traffic problems etc. I'll get a sim card in the airport.
When I type in Chaoyang station on google maps, about a dozen locations pop up. E ring rd 4 and what crossroad? Will "Beijing Chaoyang Zhan" get me to the right place?
Thanks

I’d suggest changing your approach. Book your train tickets ahead of time on Trip.com (app or website). After purchasing, you’ll get your booking confirmation. Just show it to your taxi driver, and they’ll know precisely which station you’re heading to.
Large Chinese cities usually have several train stations, and many have similar-sounding names. Even native Chinese travellers occasionally mix up station names when talking to drivers and miss their trains. So the most reliable method is securing your ticket first and presenting the booking details to the driver.
