Tips for Traveling in Changzhou – What to Watch Out for When Visiting Changzhou

1. To take the BRT to South Street, alight at either People’s Park Stop or New Century Shopping Mall Stop, then walk through the underground passage to reach South Street.
2. Changzhou Railway Station consists of a South Square and a North Square. Long-distance buses, EMUs and high-speed trains depart from the North Square; passengers need to pass through the underground passage from the South Square to get to the North Square.
3. Only high-speed train tickets and bus tickets are sold at the North Square. Ordinary train tickets can only be purchased at the ticket office on the South Square.
