Zhengzhou is one of China's most important inland rail hubs, positioned at the intersection of north-south and east-west trunk lines. The city has several passenger stations, with Zhengzhou East handling most high-speed trains and Zhengzhou Railway Station serving conventional, intercity, and some high-speed services. China Railway operates the national network serving Zhengzhou, with local management through China Railway Zhengzhou Group.
Train services from Zhengzhou include G-series high-speed trains, D-series intercity and multiple-unit services, C-series urban intercity trains, and conventional Z, T, and K trains. Zhengzhou East Railway Station is the main high-speed train station for long-distance routes across Henan and beyond, while Zhengzhou Railway Station remains important for classic rail corridors and central city departures.
Rail routes from Zhengzhou run north toward Beijing and Shijiazhuang, south toward Wuhan, Changsha, and Guangzhou, east toward Xuzhou, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou, and west toward Luoyang, Xi'an, and Lanzhou. Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport is linked by intercity rail through Xinzheng Airport Railway Station. Book trains from and to Zhengzhou online at Rail Monsters.
