Practical Information for CRH Travelers

Luggage Guidelines for CRH Trains. Rules cover carry-on items and larger suitcases. Below are the main points to know when bringing luggage on CRH services between Shanghai and Huzhou:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring carry-on items and checked-size suitcases. For most CRH services, two pieces of luggage are accepted; oversized items should be checked with station staff before boarding to confirm storage options.

Storage Facilities

CRH trains provide overhead racks and designated luggage areas at the carriage ends. Keep smaller items in the overhead storage and place larger cases at the end of the car to avoid blocking aisles.

Special Items

For bicycles, large sports equipment or musical instruments, contact the operator or arrive early. Space for special items is limited and carriage-specific rules apply, so plan ahead for Shanghai to Huzhou services.
