Does the railway station sell tickets 24 hours a day?

Tickets are generally sold 24 hours at big stations, not necessarily at small stations.

For large railway stations, there are many trains leaving or arriving (basically 24 hours), and such stations sell tickets 24 hours a day. Generally, during the day, there are more trains and more people driving, so there are more ticket windows, while at night, there are fewer trains and fewer people driving, so naturally there are fewer ticket windows at night. Generally, tickets are sold in three shifts at the railway station. The white shift is from 8 am to 5 pm, the second shift is from 5 pm to 0 am, and the third shift is from 0 am to 8 am.

For small railway stations, there are no trains leaving and stopping at night, so naturally they don't go to work at night.

Train tickets contain a variety of information, including model, time, seat number and so on. China train tickets include hard paper tickets, soft paper tickets and magnetic card tickets.
