Practical Information for High-Speed Travelers

Luggage icon
Luggage Guidelines on China Rail. Traveling between Ningbo and Hangzhou involves specific rules for carry-on items. Below are points for handling your belongings aboard high-speed services:
Luggage Allowance
Passengers can bring up to 20 kg of luggage per person. The total external dimensions (length + width + height) must not exceed 130 cm for high-speed trains. Ensure items are packed within these limits for overhead storage.
Storage Facilities
Trains feature overhead racks for smaller bags and large luggage closets at the ends of each carriage for suitcases. Space is shared, so early boarding is helpful for securing spots for medium-sized items.
Special Items
Folding bicycles are permitted if they meet size requirements and are properly bagged. Sharp objects and flammable materials are strictly prohibited and will be removed during the station security screening process.
