Practical Information for CRH Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on CRH High-Speed Trains. Traveling on CRH services includes rules for carry-on and larger items. Below are essential points to know when bringing luggage aboard CRH high-speed trains between Shanghai and Fuzhou:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring two pieces of luggage. Typical guidance limits each item to around 160 cm total dimension (width + height + depth) and a weight guideline near 20–23 kg per piece. Check operator rules for exact limits before travel.

Storage Facilities

CRH trains have overhead racks for small bags and dedicated luggage areas at the end of each car for suitcases. Store larger items in the designated racks to keep aisles clear and secure luggage during the trip.

Special Items

For bicycles, large instruments, or bulky sports equipment, confirm carriage rules in advance. Such items may require disassembly, special stowage or prior arrangement due to limited space on CRH high-speed services.

Rail travel on CRH high-speed trains offers direct city-center to city-center connections and regular departures, reducing total travel time compared with long-distance buses. Buses serve overnight and daytime routes but take substantially longer and involve more road travel. Flights are faster in the air but require airport transfers and check-in time; for many travelers the CRH high-speed option balances journey time and access to city centers.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
