Practical Information for CRH Travelers

Luggage icon
Luggage Guidelines on CRH Trains. Traveling on CRH high-speed services includes rules for carry-on and large items. Below are key points to know when bringing luggage aboard CRH trains between Guangzhou and Shenzhen:
Luggage Allowance
Passengers may bring carry-on items and larger suitcases. Typical limits advise combined dimensions and a reasonable weight per piece; if you have oversized items, check local operator rules in advance to confirm accepted limits for CRH services.
Storage Facilities
CRH trains provide overhead racks and dedicated luggage areas near car doors. Large suitcases are commonly stored in the vestibule spaces; keep valuables with you and label checked items for identification.
Special Items
For bicycles, musical instruments, or sports equipment check operator policies before travel. Some items may require prior approval or partial disassembly; space availability on CRH services is subject to the carriage configuration.

Guangzhou to Shenzhen Map

Plan your trip between Guangzhou and Shenzhen on the Guangzhou–Shenzhen high-speed corridor (part of the wider Beijing–Guangzhou and intercity networks). Key stations include Guangzhou South, Guangmingcheng, Shenzhen North and Futian. The route passes industrial and urban zones within Guangdong province; use the map to plan station access, interchanges with metro systems and onward travel in China.

Rail vs Bus vs Plane

Rail travel on high-speed CRH trains provides faster city-center to city-center connections and frequent departures compared with buses and flights. Buses require longer journey times and station-to-station travel, while flights have shorter airborne time but need airport transfers and check-in. For door-to-door travel between Guangzhou and Shenzhen, high-speed rail typically reduces total travel time and transfer complexity.
