ReplyWe are taking the bullet train from Xi'an to Shanghai on 26Mar before departing on a cruise.
I'm concerned about the baggage allowance on the trains. My husband and I will both have 1 suitcase (less than 62 inches and 50lbs) and a small carry-on. Will this be permitted?

00ReplyThe policy says 20kg per person and the size should be within 130cm, but at station, the staff do not really care about it. Luggage will not be weighted or measured. You can take all your luggage with you.

00ReplyThe time could be very tight. Considering the time for passport check and luggage collection, you may exit from airport around 8am, then 1 hour by taxi to the station. You have less than 30min at station for ticket collection and security check etc. There would be a chance that you will miss the train. It would be safer if you can choose a later train.
