Ningbo is one of Zhejiang Province's main passenger rail hubs, positioned south of Hangzhou Bay on the coastal rail corridor. The city is served by China Railway, with Ningbo Railway Station acting as the primary train station for high-speed, intercity, and regional trains from Ningbo. Its rail role is shaped by links north toward Hangzhou and Shanghai and south along the coast toward Wenzhou and Fujian.
Services from Ningbo include G-series high-speed trains, D-series electric multiple-unit trains, and some C-series intercity services within Zhejiang. Ningbo Railway Station handles nearly all long-distance passenger departures and arrivals in the city, while nearby county-level stations such as Yuyao North and Fenghua serve parts of the wider Ningbo area on selected China Railway routes.
Rail routes from Ningbo run northwest toward Hangzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Beijing, south along the Yongtaiwen and coastal high-speed corridors toward Taizhou, Wenzhou, Fuzhou, and Xiamen, and inland through transfer points across eastern China.
