What are the main train stations in Hohhot?

Hohhot East Railway Station is the main high-speed station for G-series and D-series China Railway services on the Beijing and Inner Mongolia corridors. Hohhot Railway Station is the central conventional station, used by standard-speed long-distance trains, regional services, and some overnight departures. Check the station name on the ticket, as the two stations are separate and not interchangeable.

Should I reserve seats on trains from Hohhot?

China Railway high-speed trains from Hohhot use assigned seating, so a seat reservation is included with the ticket. Conventional trains also sell assigned seats or sleeper berths when available. Non-reserved boarding is not the standard practice for long-distance China Railway services. Book earlier for the Beijing corridor, holiday periods, and overnight trains, because popular departure times can fill before travel day.
