核心观点

China's national railway network handled a record 2.348 billion passenger trips in H1 2026, up 5.0% year-on-year, the China State Railway Group reported on July 13, 2026. Foreign passenger trips surged 33.6% to 12.31 million, driven by expanded visa-free transit policies. Travelers should book high-speed train tickets 15 days in advance on the 12306 English app and expect extremely crowded stations through the summer peak.

发生了什么变化

根据 中国国家铁路集团 ,全国铁路网络在2026年1月至6月间创下上半年历史新高,发送旅客 23.48亿人次。这比2025年同期增长 5.0%,也表明中国铁路系统正以空前容量运行。

对外国旅行者而言,最突出的数据是:2026年上半年全国铁路处理了 1231万外国旅客出行,同比增长 33.6%,据 新华社 于7月13日报道。中国国家铁路集团直接将这一增长归因于中国扩大的 过境免签政策,该政策目前覆盖 24个省 的 65个指定口岸,允许来自 55个国家 的符合条件旅行者停留最长 240小时(10天)。

这也符合更广泛的入境旅游热潮:国家移民管理局(NIA)于7月10日报告称,2026年上半年中国录得 3.69亿次出入境,免签外国入境占所有外国入境的 77.7%。铁路数据表明,外国游客不仅进入中国,而且在中国境内广泛旅行。

2026年暑运从 7月1日 开始,持续至 8月31日,预计将额外产生 10.1亿人次 旅客发送量。由于外国旅客乘坐量已处于历史高位,包括 北京—上海、上海—杭州 和 广州—深圳 在内的热门线路在旺季期间将面临比以往更严重的拥挤。

可能变化的部分

The 15-day advance booking window applies to the standard summer 2026 season. During national holidays (Mid-Autumn Festival October 6, 2026; National Day Golden Week October 1–7, 2026), the window may shorten to 10 or 5 days. Always verify on the 12306 English website before booking.

常见问题

Do I need a Chinese phone number to use the 12306 English app as a foreigner in 2026?

No. The 12306 English website (12306.cn/en) and app support registration using only a valid foreign passport and international email address, per China State Railway Group policy as of July 2026.

Why are China's trains so crowded in summer 2026?

Two factors: the annual 62-day summer travel rush (1.01 billion expected trips) and the visa-free policy expansion driving a 33.6% surge in foreign passenger trips to 12.31 million in H1 2026, per China State Railway Group data released July 13, 2026.

Can I take multiple train trips within my 240-hour visa-free transit window?

Yes, you can travel freely by train within the 24 permitted provinces/municipalities. You must enter and exit through one of 65 designated ports and stay within the approved zone.
