For some reasons, I didn't have train tickets booked in advance. When I got to the station, the last train headed for Yueyang from Wuhan was going to depart soon.
There were no seat assigned on the tickets. I made my way to board the train and there were crowds of people everywhere. Since Wuhan was not the starting sation, I found people lying or sitting on the floor. I could only find more spacious place to stand in.
Could I have been able to update the tickets? Any way to avoid this for the future China train travelers?

A lot of train station offer telephone reservation, for example, You can call Wuhan train station 1 day in a head of time to book your train tickets, they do hold the seats for me until 10am the next morning. Chinese train station always over sell train tickets, if you don't book before hand, most probably, you will get on the train without seats.
For future train travelers, I would recommend you:
1.As soon as you arrive into a city, ask your hotel or travel agency to book the train tickets for you .
2. Go to the train station to buy them. (Most of the time, you can only purchase train tickets within 3 days)
