Questions & Answers on Shanghai - Zhengzhou Train

Asked by Hastings from NEW ZEALAND | Nov. 26, 2019 19:24

How can I request seats on the 2-seat side for second class?

Answers (1)

Answered by Kaye | Nov. 27, 2019 18:23

When you book tickets, they will offer a seat selection part. You can choose your seats. I think it should be seat D and F if you are looking for the side with 2 seats only.

I want to buy second class seat on train G360

I checked for a few days already but it always no ticket for sale. Is this true?

Answers (1)

Answered by TravelChinaGuide | May. 19, 2019 17:31

Thank you for your inquiry.

G360 is the fastest train and therefore under great demands. Also, this G360 will finally reach Xi'an North after passing Zhengzhou. Most tickets were offered to passengers to the final station thus the tickets to Zhengzhou are hard to get. You may consider to use other rides instead. If you do need this G360, you may buy a ticket to Xi'an North but get off in advance.

Which station is closer to Hilton Zhengzhou?

How much it approximately cost by taxi?

Answers (1)

Answered by Tilda from USA | Jan. 24, 2019 17:10

Zhengzhou Railway Station is a little closer compared with the East Sstation, but not a big difference. It would take around CNY20 to 30 by taxi from both stations. If you do not mind of using metro, you can use metro line 1 from both station as well, get off at Yanzhuang, exit A.
