Nanning is the main rail hub of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and a key interchange in southern China's passenger network. The city has two main passenger train stations: Nanning Railway Station near the central city area and Nanning East Railway Station on the high-speed network. China Railway operates the intercity, high-speed, and regional services that make Nanning a major transfer point between Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan.
High-speed trains from Nanning use Nanning East for most long-distance services, including G and D category trains on corridors toward Guangdong, Yunnan, and Guizhou. Nanning Railway Station also handles intercity and conventional services, including regional trains across Guangxi. Some services stop at both Nanning and Nanning East, so passengers should check the train station shown on each ticket before booking.
Rail routes from Nanning run east toward Guangzhou and Shenzhen, north toward Liuzhou, Guilin, and Guiyang, west toward Baise and Kunming, and south toward Qinzhou, Beihai, and Fangchenggang on the Guangxi coast. Book trains from and to Nanning online at Rail Monsters.
