Practical Information for CRH Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on CRH Trains. Traveling on high-speed and conventional trains in China includes rules for carry-on and larger items. Below are key points to know when bringing luggage aboard CRH services on this route:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring up to two pieces of luggage for high-speed services. Each item should generally remain within 160 cm total dimension (width + height + depth). While operators do not always enforce strict weight limits, keeping items under 25 kg per piece is recommended for handling and storage.

Storage Facilities

High-speed trains provide overhead racks and luggage areas at the end of each car for suitcases and larger bags. Keep small items with you and place larger cases in designated racks or car-end storage to avoid blocking aisles.

Special Items

For bicycles, musical instruments or oversized items, check operator rules in advance. Some items require disassembly, special packaging, or separate freight arrangements. Space is subject to availability and may require early arrival at the station.
