Practical Information for High-Speed Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on China Rail. High-speed services establish clear rules for carry-on items. Below are key points for your Shanghai to Liuzhou trip:

Luggage Allowance

Adult passengers can carry up to 20 kg of luggage, while children are allowed 10 kg. The total length, width, and height of each piece must not exceed 130 cm for high-speed trains to ensure safe storage in overhead racks.

Storage Facilities

Trains feature overhead racks for smaller bags and dedicated large luggage areas between carriages for suitcases. Space is occupied on a first-come, first-served basis, so arriving early at the station is recommended.

Special Items

Flammable materials and sharp objects are strictly prohibited. Bicycles must be folded and securely packed within the size limits, and pets are generally not allowed in the passenger cabins without specific transport arrangements.
