Chongqing city to Chengdu Tianfu international airport

Dear all

May I know is there a direct high speed rail from Chongqing city to Chengdu Tianfu international airport?

Internet said there is only one train per day but trip.com shows that there are several trains departing from Chongqing.

Do i take the train from Chongqing West station or Chongqing North station for the direct train to Tianfu airport?

Thank you!

Yes, there is currently a direct high-speed rail service from Chongqing to Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, but the frequency is limited. While older information suggested only one train per day, newer schedules on platforms like Trip.com show that there are now several direct trains available, especially during peak travel periods. Availability may fluctuate, so it’s best to check real-time schedules before booking.

Regarding departure stations in Chongqing:

  • Chongqing West Station – Most high-speed trains to Chengdu Tianfu International Airport depart from Chongqing West. This is the main hub for intercity and high-speed trains heading toward Sichuan Province.
  • Chongqing North Station – Fewer trains to Tianfu Airport depart from here. It mainly serves other routes and conventional rail services, but it’s always worth double-checking the current schedule if you are closer to this station.

Travel tips:

  • Book tickets in advance, especially if you have a flight to catch from Tianfu Airport.
  • Allow sufficient time for travel to the airport from the train station; Tianfu Airport is about 50 km from Chengdu city center.
  • Check the train type: high-speed trains (G or D series) are faster and more reliable for timely connections.
  • Consider using Trip.com or the official China Railway app to verify train times and availability, as schedules may change.

In summary, your best option is to take a direct high-speed train from Chongqing West Station to Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, keeping in mind the limited frequency and allowing extra time for airport transfer.
