Practical Information for High-Speed Train Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on G-series high-speed trains. Rules cover carry-on items and larger suitcases. Below are key points to know when bringing luggage aboard Beijing to Xi'an high-speed services:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring up to two pieces of luggage aboard G-series trains. Each item should not exceed 160 cm in total dimensions (width + height + depth) and a recommended weight limit of 25 kg per piece to fit storage areas and aisle access.

Storage Facilities

High-speed trains provide overhead shelves for small bags and dedicated luggage racks near car doors for suitcases. Place larger items on the racks and keep smaller items in the overhead or at your feet to avoid blocking walkways.

Special Items

For bicycles, large musical instruments or bulky sports equipment, check carrier rules in advance. Space for special items is limited and may require pre-approval or early boarding to secure room for oversized goods.

Beijing to Xi'an Map

Plan your trip between Beijing and Xi'an on China’s national high-speed network using G-series services. The route links Beijing West/Beijing South with Xi'an North and commonly passes through major hubs such as Zhengzhou East. The line runs over high-speed corridors and connects provincial capitals; plan travel and station transfers in China accordingly.

Rail vs Bus vs Plane

High-speed rail on G-series trains delivers city-center to city-center travel with predictable departures and shorter door-to-door times compared with long-distance buses. Buses require longer road travel with fewer amenities; flights shorten airborne time but add airport transit and check-in. For Beijing to Xi'an, high-speed rail is typically the fastest practical option between central stations.
