Questions & Answers on Chengdu - Nanjing Train

Asked by Josiah from HUNGARY | Sep. 26, 2019 23:59

Is there anyone tried D trains from Chengdu to Nanjing?

Is it a good choice or flight is better? Our hotel is very close to Chengdu East Station but the duration seems a little too longer?

If I were you, I would consider flight firstly if the flight ticket price is acceptable. Although there is no chance to see the view along the way, 12 hours sitting is indeed too hard for me. You can decide it according to your situation. If you decide to take a flight finally, you can still use rail service from the East station to airport firstly which should be very convenient for you. There is an underground railway station inside airport!

If so, you can choose a hotel near the metro station. Places like Xinjiekou or Confucius Temple can be regarded as city center area. Not quite sure about your budget, but you may take hotel like Atour Hotel (Nanjing Confucius Temple) as a reference.
