All Chinese travelers taking train to Tibet will have to take along their identification cards. For foreigners travelling to Tibet by train, Tibet entry permit is required along with train ticket when boarding the train.

Starting Oct 23, passengers taking trains to the capital city, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region and Tibet autonomous region will all go through identification checks before boarding, according to the China Railway Bureau.

Chinese railway introduced a real-name system to stem the rampant ticket scalping that has plagued the Spring Festival travel rush for years, requiring all train ticket buyers to register their names and implementing a spot check of ID cards before boarding the train to Tibet.
