4. A big trouble is Verification.
 the 12306 provide a verification question by a picture with a Chinese Text. Usually question is referring to one or two things, and you must click the right thing from below 8 photoes!
For Example, on above "login page on 12306":
Question is "请点击下图中所有的箱子", ----Please click all box from below. So we have to choose the third one and sixth one to complete Verification.


5. the second trouble is how to pay by your computer or your phone
my solution is create a Taobao (Alipay) account by mail and tell your Chinese friend tranfer money to this account.
You can pay the ticket by money in your Alipay.
(refer to get a Alipay account )

6. Get ticket  when before you departing from ticket lobby.
