Practical Information for High-speed Train Travelers

Luggage Guidelines for high-speed and regional trains. Rules vary by operator; below are common limits and facility notes for carrying luggage on Chinese high-speed and regional services between Shanghai and Laibin.

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring up to two pieces of luggage on high-speed trains, with each item generally not exceeding 160 cm in total dimension (width + height + depth) and a recommended weight limit near 25 kg per piece. Check specific operator rules for confirmed limits.

High-speed trains provide overhead racks above seats and larger luggage racks at the car ends. Regional trains may have fewer dedicated racks; store smaller items overhead and larger cases on end-of-car platforms where space is provided.

Rail services combine city-center to city-center access and scheduled high-speed segments that reduce overall travel time compared with long-distance buses. Buses provide direct but much longer point-to-point trips, while flights shorten airborne time but require airport transfers and check-in time. For many itineraries between Shanghai and Laibin, high-speed plus regional rail offers a reliable balance of travel time and station access.

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