Night journey train

Is there a direct night journey train from Zhangjiaji to Chongquing ,please message train number,Trip.Com does not show it

I couldn’t find a confirmed direct overnight (“night”) train from Zhangjiajie (湖南省) to Chongqing (重庆市) that departs late evening and arrives the next morning, with a reliable train number listed on major booking sites.

Here’s what the available information suggests:

  • High-speed services: There are several G-series high-speed trains between Zhangjiajie and Chongqing that run during the day (for example train G2426 leaving ~08:52 and arriving ~10:54) according to schedule updates.
  • Conventional trains: Some sources mention slower K/Z-series trains covering the route, departing early morning and taking ~6.5 hours, but no reliable schedule for a late-night departure was consistently found.
  • Booking sites (e.g., Trip.com) show the last departures listed around 19:47 for daytime trains.

Therefore:

  • Yes, there are direct trains from Zhangjiajie to Chongqing—but they appear to operate during daytime hours rather than as an overnight sleeper train.
  • For an overnight train specifically (departing late evening and arriving next day) you may need to include a transfer or look at a connecting route with a change.

If you prefer overnight travel, I recommend checking the schedule for the day you plan, using the official 12306 China Railway app or booking site, and filtering for “soft sleeper” or “hard sleeper” options, since overnight sleepers are more common on non-high-speed (‘K’, ‘Z’) trains.
