 出發前的準備
 票務預訂
在廣州，前往杭州的火車票可以通過多種渠道預訂。最方便的是通過12306官方網站或手機APP，需要提前關注售票時間。通常開車前28天開始放票，不同席別的放票時間略有不同。例如，一等座和二等座的放票時間會早於商務座和特等座。如果臨時出行，也可以到火車站售票窗口或代售點購票，但在高峰時期可能需要排隊等待。
 行李準備
乘坐火車出行，行李有一定的限制。每位旅客免費攜帶物品的重量和體積是：兒童（含免票兒童）10千克，外交人員35千克，其他旅客20千克。每件物品外部尺寸長、寬、高之和不超過160厘米，桿狀物品不超過200厘米，但乘坐火車臥鋪時不超過130厘米。要合理安排行李，避免超標。
 乘坐體驗
 硬座車廂
硬座車廂是經濟實惠的選擇。車廂內人多且相對較擁擠，但可以近距離接觸不同的人，感受各地的文化交流。座位排列整齊，有小桌板方便放置物品和用餐。長途旅行時，可以提前準備一些零食和飲料，以度過愉快的旅程。
 軟座車廂
如果預算允許，軟座車廂提供了更舒適的乘坐體驗。座位更寬敞，腿部空間更大，且有可調節的靠背，能讓乘客在旅途中更好地休息。但價格也會稍高一些。

 從廣州到杭州 by Train
The journey from Guangzhou to Hangzhou by train is a wonderful experience. Guangzhou, the bustling metropolis in southern China, and Hangzhou, known for its picturesque West Lake, are connected by a convenient railway network.
 Preparation Before Departure
 Ticket Booking
In Guangzhou, tickets for the train to Hangzhou can be booked through multiple channels. The most convenient way is via the 12306 official website or mobile app. It's crucial to pay attention to the ticket-selling time in advance. Usually, tickets start to be available 28 days before departure, and the selling times for different seat classes vary slightly. For example, the first-class and second-class seats are released earlier than the business-class and special-class seats. If you need to travel on short notice, you can also go to the train station ticket windows or authorized sales points, but you may have to wait in line during peak periods.
 Luggage Preparation
When traveling by train, there are certain limitations on luggage. Each passenger is allowed to carry free items with a weight and volume limit: 10 kilograms for children (including free children), 35 kilograms for diplomatic personnel, and 20 kilograms for other passengers. The external dimensions of each item, with length, width, and height combined, should not exceed 160 centimeters, and for rod-shaped items, it should not exceed 200 centimeters. However, when taking a sleeper train, it should not exceed 130 centimeters. So, it's necessary to arrange your luggage reasonably to avoid exceeding the limits.
 The Experience on the Train
 Hard-Seat Compartment
The hard-seat compartment is an economical choice. The carriage is crowded with many people, but it allows for close contact with people from different places and a sense of cultural exchange. The seats are neatly arranged, and there is a small table board for placing items and having meals. For long-distance trips, it's advisable to prepare some snacks and drinks in advance to make the journey more pleasant.
 Soft-Seat Compartment
If your budget allows, the soft-seat compartment offers a more comfortable riding experience. The seats are wider, with more legroom, and the adjustable backrest enables passengers to rest better during the journey. But the price is a bit higher.
 Sleeper Compartment
The sleeper compartment is divided into upper, middle, and lower berths. The lower berth is convenient for getting on and off, while the middle and upper berths are relatively cheaper. In the sleeper compartment, you can get a good rest, which is suitable for long-distance travel. Before going to sleep, be sure to keep your personal belongings safe to avoid losing them.
 Scenery Along the Way
Starting from Guangzhou, the train travels northward, passing through the vast plains of southern China, where you can see some farmlands and small towns along the way. As it enters Hunan Province, the scenery gradually becomes more beautiful, with green mountains and clear waters coming into view. When passing through tunnels, you can feel the excitement of the train shuttling through the mountains. As it approaches Hangzhou, the urban atmosphere becomes stronger, and you can see modern buildings and busy traffic.
