Guilin - Nanning Train

Normally there are over 90 pairs of trains available a day. Among them, more than 73 pairs are high speed G and D types which take only around 2 to 3 hours. The rest 16 or so pairs of normal rides take longer time of about 3 to 6.5 hours.
 These bullet trains are top choices for a transfer between the two cities due to its short duration and frequency.

Most rides take both cities as stopovers and some only stop for a few minutes. Thus, travelers are advisable to pay attention to the broadcast and LED screen in the carriage for the next destination and make preparation in advance.
