Rapid train
What is the name of the new rapid rail stationof Chongqing is it called Chongqing East or some other initials please let us know we would book book the G series rapid train from Chongqing to Zhanjiagie
Chongqing has multiple major railway stations, and it’s important to distinguish them when booking high-speed (G-series) trains.
For trains heading to Zhangjiajie, the high-speed service usually departs from Chongqing North Railway Station (重庆北站), not Chongqing East. Chongqing North is the main hub for long-distance and high-speed trains on this route, including the G-series trains.
Some key points:
- Chongqing North Railway Station (重庆北站) – The primary station for high-speed services to Zhangjiajie, Chengdu, and other destinations. Well connected via metro Line 3 and Line 10.
- Chongqing East Railway Station (重庆东站) – Mostly serves conventional trains and some intercity lines, not the main G-series high-speed trains for Zhangjiajie.
- Chongqing West Railway Station (重庆西站) – Handles some long-distance and high-speed trains, but typically less relevant for your intended route.
Practical tips when booking:
- Always confirm the departure station when purchasing tickets online or at the counter, as Chongqing has several stations and they are spread across the city.
- Plan your transfer from your hotel to Chongqing North with extra time, as the station is large and metro connections can be busy during peak hours.
- Check the train schedule carefully; the G-series trains are faster and more expensive than D-series or K-series trains, so make sure you select the correct class.
In conclusion, for a G-series rapid train from Chongqing to Zhangjiajie, you should book from Chongqing North Railway Station rather than Chongqing East or other stations.
