Some tickets can be purchased online such as Beijing-Tianjin but still need to produced ID or passport when retrieving the tickets.

Yes, your valid documents are needed. But I am still impressed that you can buy the tickets on your own.

It's not difficult for me to remember a few Chinese words such as fantian for restaurant, xiao for small, zhong for middle, nifan for rice, mianbao for bread, dong zhan for east station, etc. If from Shenzhen my friend and I want to go to Guangzhou East Station, I would say, liang zhang qu Guangzhou dong zhan. Is it correct?

Wan,

The restaurant should be called "Fan Dian". Rice is "Mi Fan" in Chinese. Anyway, it will be good if the waitress or the ticket seller can understand what you said.

My mistake for typing letter N instead of M.
I have a problem of hearing when a Chinese says Fantian or Fandian. Sometimes the letter D and T sounds the same. Even the Chinese have the problem of writing Guangta (lighthouse) with guangda (which I do not know the meaning).

Guangda is the pronunciation of 广大. It means "huge, large, mass" in English. You usually hear "广大人民群众 (Guang Da Ren Min Qun Zhong, the broad masses of the people)" many times when the Chinese leaders make speeches.
