Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring carry-on items and luggage; typical guidance allows two items with combined dimensions suitable for overhead racks and dedicated luggage areas. Weight limits follow operator policies, so check specific rules for HSR or intercity services.

Special Items

For bicycles, musical instruments or oversized items, check operator conditions before travel. Space for bulky items can be limited and may require advance notice or specific carriage allocation.
