Chongqing-East (Chongqindong) Station to Chengdu

Are there any trains currently operate from the new Chongqing-East to :

- Chengdu?

- Zhangiajie/Changsha?

Can't find any booking information on Trip.,com or China Railway website.

Chongqing East (Chongqindong) Station is a major high-speed rail hub in Chongqing, opened to serve the eastern districts and provide connections to the national high-speed network. It primarily handles high-speed trains (G and D trains) rather than conventional slower trains.

Regarding your queries:

  • Chongqing East to Chengdu: Yes, there are multiple high-speed trains connecting Chongqing East to Chengdu. These trains typically take around 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on whether you choose a G-class (fastest) or D-class (slightly slower) train. Booking can sometimes be tricky on third-party platforms like Trip.com if the train is new or has limited visibility; checking the official China Railway 12306 website is usually more reliable.
  • Chongqing East to Zhangjiajie/Changsha: Direct trains to Zhangjiajie are less frequent, and many routes require a transfer, usually at Changsha or Chongqing North station. Trains to Changsha South are available from Chongqing East, generally taking 5–6 hours by high-speed train. From Changsha, you can then catch a conventional train or high-speed service to Zhangjiajie, which typically takes another 4–5 hours.

Practical tips:

  • For destinations not directly served from Chongqing East, consider using a connecting station such as Chongqing North or Chongqing West, which may have more options for Zhangjiajie.
  • Book tickets in advance, especially during weekends and holidays, as high-speed trains are popular and can sell out quickly.
  • Use the official 12306.cn website or app for the most up-to-date schedules, as third-party platforms may lag behind when new stations or routes are opened.

In summary, traveling from Chongqing East to Chengdu is straightforward with frequent high-speed trains. Travel to Zhangjiajie usually requires a transfer at Changsha or another station. Advance planning and checking the official schedule is key.
