At the other side, 3 stations are involved: Harbin Railway Station, East Railway Station, and West Railway Station. Passengers should read tickets carefully to go to the correct station.

Harbin Railway Station is closer to the city compared with other stations and operates both normal and bullet trains. Passengers can easily reach there by city bus or subway line 1. East Station only operates normal trains to the nearby cities and transportation around is convenient. West Station is the major stop of Harbin – Dalian and Beijing – Harbin High Speed Railways and has both normal and bullet trains to many domestic cities.

Among all of them, passengers are advised to travel by overnight sleeper trains such as Z307, Z237 and K1527, which can save one-night accommodation fee and day time. Besides, Z type trains taking a shorter time of 10.5 – 13 hours should be the first choices.
