ReplyTrain from Guangzhou to Chengdu
I'm going to travel from Guangzhou to Chengdu with a sleeper train this upcoming week. When I bought the tickets, I sent in my passports as identifiers. When I get to the station, do I need to bring anything besides my passport? Is there some sort of e-ticket for this train?
Also, is there a maximum capacity for the luggage I could bring on the train? Because I would be coming to the station straight from the Airport.
Thank you!

00ReplyYou can just show your passport to get onboard. The e-ticket is affiliated to your passport.
Usually, each adult can take at most 20kg of luggage. But they don't measure it at all and it should not be a problem to take all your luggage onboard as long as it does not contain any prohibited items.

How much usually a flight ticket costs in October?

Answered by Wynter | Apr. 22, 2019 17:0800Reply
00ReplyFull ticket price of economy class should be nearly USD270. During normal days, discount ticket like 50% off can be found. But if you will traveling during their National Holiday time in October, the price is hard to say. Flight ticket price will not be released now for October, maybe 1 to 3 months in advance. You can consider the price and your timing. For me, I would choose flight if there is discount ticket.

Answered by Christal from FRANCE | Dec. 19, 2018 19:5300Reply
00ReplyThere is no free meal included, but there will be some simple food for sale. Usually box meal, western styled food can be find occasionally.
Flight is much faster, about 2.5 hours only. The price is much higher than second class on high speed rail. If discount ticket can be offered, it would be a very good option.
