High-speed rail.

Question

Is there any limit on the number of luggage allowed on high speed rail from guangzhou to Hong Kong. I have 2 large pieces of baggage.

Answer

Traveling on China’s high-speed rail (CRH) from Guangzhou to Hong Kong comes with luggage rules that are fairly generous compared to airlines, but there are limits to ensure safety and comfort on board.

Here’s what you need to know about luggage allowance on high-speed trains:

Each passenger is allowed to bring up to 2 pieces of luggage and 1 small carry-on item (like a handbag or backpack).
The combined weight of each piece of luggage should not exceed 20 kg (44 lbs).
Size restrictions: luggage should fit within 160 cm in total dimensions (length + width + height). Oversized luggage may be refused or need special handling.

For two large pieces of baggage, you should check the dimensions and weight. If both fit within the 20 kg per bag limit and meet size restrictions, you should have no issues. Most high-speed trains provide overhead racks for smaller items and a luggage area at the end of each carriage for larger suitcases.

Additional tips:

Arrive early at the station to allow time for luggage inspection, as all baggage goes through security screening.
For very large or heavy luggage, consider distributing weight between both passengers or using luggage services offered at major stations.
Keep important items and travel documents in a smaller carry-on for easy access.

Overall, traveling with two large suitcases on Guangzhou–Hong Kong high-speed rail is usually manageable as long as you adhere to the weight and size limits.
