A September 3 transport update covers holiday preparation at both station plazas, including signs, buses, coaches, taxis, ride-hailing and volunteers. Travelers should still follow arrival-day instructions.
What is being improved
The September 3 municipal transport notice says authorities inspected signage and facilities in the north and south plazas and exit passages, together with bus, coach, taxi and ride-hailing points. Fourteen pre-holiday tasks include wayfinding, terminal management, volunteer deployment and emergency planning.
This is a readiness update, not a permanent guarantee of pickup points or frequency. Works, passenger volume and operational control may change the route through the station.
The right arrival sequence
Follow official signs first, identify whether you have exited at the north or south plaza, then use the marked bus, taxi or app-car area. Never wait in a traffic lane, drop-off zone or unsigned roadside space.
Send the driver your train, expected arrival, exit, group size, luggage and phone number. Include the hotel or attraction name in Chinese rather than relying on an English translation.
Allow a holiday margin
Crowds may rise around Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. Do not use the shortest possible transfer for a museum booking, workshop or coach; large bags, children and seniors need extra time.
A private-car order should confirm plate, driver, pickup zone and waiting terms. A multilingual guide may assist communication but cannot bring a vehicle into a closed or no-stopping area.
