Questions & Answers on Hong Kong - Changsha High Speed Train

Asked by Wendy from PHNOM PENH | May. 22, 2023 02:28

I have 2 suitcases, will this be a problem on the train?

Answers (1)

Answered by Bob | May. 23, 2023 03:02

Generally, there is no problem to take them. Although the official document claims the overall weight of the luggage should not be over 20kg and the combined length, height, and width of bags cannot exceed 130 cm (51 inches), in fact, they generally don't check it very strictly. Anyway, if they happen to check it, you may be charged more for the overweight part.

Which train is more recommended among G80, G100, G6114?

Answers (1)

Answered by Aidan from USA | Mar. 14, 2019 23:11

Well, this depends on your departure time. If you are very flexible in time, G80 should be the most recommended one as it is the fastest one. However, it means you need to reach station very early in the morning. G100 has more comfortable time but the tickets are very hard to get. G6114 is the one most likely to get a tickets as Changsha is its final stop.

I want to take the morning train G80 from HK to Changsha.

I checked almost all the dates and hardly see any tickets for sale. Is this situation normal? I am looking for Dec 4th, what are my options?

Answered by Jeffrey from AUSTRALIA | Nov. 13, 2018 00:34

Indeed the tickets are hardly found on G80 to Changsha because its final destination is Beijing. Therefore, most tickets were offered to Beijing instead. If you need to travel in the morning, you would need to consider the transfer in Guangzhou.
