Most of them run overnight from/to Guangzhou North Railway Station, and K1095/1096 and K201/K202 use Guangzhou Baiyun Railway Station. In the other side, all of them are operated at Chongqing North Railway Station. It is connected with downtown area by subway 4line 10 and city buses.

One thing to be noticed is that you'd better purchase a sleeper for the long journey and you are recommended to buy the sleeper tickets in advance because they are in great demands most of the time. With a sleeper, you can have a good rest during the night and then travel around energetically upon arrival.

Besides, they also pass by the following stations:
Guangzhou North, Yingde, Foshan, Zhaoqing, Yangchun, Maiming East, Maoming, Huazhou, Hechun, Wendi, Yulin, Shaoguan East, Pingshi, Chenzhou, Hengyang, Zhuzhou, Changsha, Yueyang, Xiangtan, Loudi, Xinhua, Xupu, Chibi, Xianning, Wuchang, Jingshan, Zhongxiang, Jingmen, Huaihua, Yichang East, Badong, Enshi, Lichuan, Wanzhou, Liangping, Kaijiang, Dazhou, Quxian, Guangan, Yuping, Shenyuan, Shibing, Kaili, Guiding, Guiyang, Guigang, Laibin, Liuzhou, Rongshui, Sanjiangxian, Yatunbao, Rongan, Tongdao, Jingzhou, Huitong, Tongren, Songtao, Xiushan, Youyang, Qianjiang, Zunyi, Tongzi, Ganshui, Qijiang, Pengshui, Wulong, Fuling, and Changshou

Questions & Answers on Guangzhou - Chongqing Train
Asked by Ashley from CROATIA | Oct. 14, 2019 03:27Reply
Hi, I am a little confused about high speed G train?
I thought G means the bullet train? Why is G1312 at 8am 3 hours slower than most D?

Thank you for your inquiry.

G type is indeed high speed ride in China. G1312 has a long duration as it runs a different route which is much longer than D rides. The duration is caused by running distance instead of speed. Afternoon ride G320 runs the same route as other D rides and take only 6.5 hours on the way. You may consider it if you want the fastest G ride. Hope this information can help you.

Without serious traffic problem, it would take around 40 to 50min. The cost will be around CNY50 to 60. Do not know how to book a taxi in advance, but you can ask your hotel to find one for you when you checkout or to see if they offer this service as well.
