Practical Information for CRH Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on CRH and conventional trains. Below are the key points to know for baggage when travelling between Shanghai and Jishoudong:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers on CRH services may bring two main pieces of luggage plus small hand items. Typical size limits are governed by local regulations; large items should fit in designated racks or carriage storage areas. For overnight trains, sleeper berths can accommodate additional personal items.

Storage Facilities

CRH trains provide overhead racks and dedicated luggage areas at the end of each car for larger suitcases. Conventional trains offer luggage space in sleeper compartments and at carriage ends; keep valuables with you.

Special Items

Bicycles, musical instruments, or sports equipment may require advance notification or special arrangements. Space for bulky items on CRH services is limited and subject to availability, so check rules before travel.

Rail on CRH and regional services offers city-center to city-center connections, with frequent departures that limit transfer requirements compared with flights. Buses run direct or overnight but require much longer travel time and make multiple stops. Flights have shorter airborne time but need airport transfers and check-in time; for many travelers the rail option reduces total door-to-door journey time and provides a predictable station arrival.

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