Guangzhou - Jinan Train

There are about 5 high speed trains running from Guangzhou to Jinan and 6 for the opposite direction. 2 pairs of normal speed overnight trains also shuttle between the two cities every day. The high speed trains between Guangzhou North/ Guangzhou South/ Guangzhou Baiyun Railway Station and Jinan/ Jinan West/ Jinan East Railway Station take about 7-12 hours and overnight normal trains between Guangzhou and Jinan Railway Station take 23 - 23.5 hours for a one-way journey. Due to the long distance of more than 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles), the high speed trains depart at early morning and arrive at late afternoon, which means you need to spend a whole day for the journey.

The nesrest one should be the main station, Jinan railway Station. It is about 4km only. The next one should be the West Station, around 14km and 40min by taxi. East Station is a little bit far, over 20km and around 50min on the way.

Hello! Just wondering if I can get on the train from other stations?
I am wondering if I have a ticket from Shenzhen North to Jinan West on G280, am I able to get on at Guangzhou South instead? If not, can I change my ticket?

It is not possible to change the departure station, however, you can board from Guangzhou South directly. You need to collect the paper ticket out before 7:43am on your travel date. With paper ticket in hand, you can board there without any problem. You can still use the seat you booked.
