00ReplyThe high speed trains only take 3.5 or 4 hours, which take much shorter time. If you prefer the overnight train, train K41 20:45/ 09:02 +1 and K597 21:32/ 09:32 are all good choices, they save your day time and also can save one night’s hotel accommodation. The sleeper berth is highly recommended.

ReplyTrain Z317/ Z318 Beijing to Baotou
Is Baotou the final stop of the train? I want to confirm it so I would not need to worry about checking the stations along the way.

00ReplyYes, it is indeed the final stop! You can just get off at the last stop. Z types hardly delay so you will know when the scheduled arrival time is approaching. If you booked a sleeper bed, the staff will also come to you to exchange your boarding pass to remind you to get off at your stop.

Answered by Warren from USA | Nov. 22, 2018 17:3300Reply
00ReplyNo, it only means the second day. If it is 8:00+, then the arrival time will be the second day of departure at 8am. However, yes, normal slow rides sometimes delays, but not always.
