Chengdu - Chongqing Train Ticket Price

(Last Update on Sep 11, 2019)

Soft Sleeper	Hard Sleeper	Hard Seat
CNY 146.5 - 185.5 USD 22 - 27	CNY 100.5 USD 15	CNY 46.5 USD 7

Although the normal types cost less compared with bullet types, there are less departures or arrivals, and the environment in the carriages is not good. If you choose hard seats, especially during the holidays, it will be rather crowded and make you tiresome. Thus, if possible, you'd better choose bullet type. However, if you have no other choice rather than normal types, you'd better purchase a sleeper even though it's a short journey. The sleeper will be more comfortable and you can have a more comfortable trip.

Coach

Passengers can take a coach to travel from one city to the other and the ticket fare is almost the same as the second class seats on bullet trains. But it takes about 4.5 hours, a longer and not that comfortable journey, compared with a high speed rail trip.

Our daytime high speed train from Chengdu to Chongwing is quiet and clean. Comparely the train to Xian is horrible, very noisy and baby crying all night long. We did not sleep well at all.

Excellent service provided to me, in particlar you notified me the problem of changing trains. If you did not inform me about it, I will surely miss my second train. Thank you and keep up the good work.

All went very well thank you. Very reasonable service fee, nearly half the price offered by a local travel agent. My only suggestion is I was a little dubious about paying with paypal as I don't trust paypal very much.

Booking process went smoothly although different from Europe. Trains in China went smoothly. I would recommend high speed trains for mid-distance trip. They are far better then planes. Stations were very large but functioned well. The only problem is that there is very few English service offered which is not convenient for non-Chinese speakers.

Being a foreigner, I booked a train from Chengdu to Chongqing, but did not realize that there are 3 stations in Chengdu. The fact that I did not know my train is from Chengdu East Station, I went to the main station. I got to know this only at the time I tried to enter the station and the staff stopped me!

I tied a taxi to Chengdu East Station but I still missed it for 10min or so. I was so desperate and called TravelChinaGuide, their advise gave me a hope which did worked finally. I managed to change the tickets to a later train, without cost!!! I really loved this thoughtful rules but if they can just offer station name in English it would be surely even better. If I did not went to a wrong station, this problem will not be a problem. But anyway I am glad I made it and this is a memorable experience!...More

Everything was great, a very pleasant journey, we were in coach one and had the hole of business section to ourselves, which was great the journey was smooth and quiet, served drinks and a meal. Just to let you know that seats 1A 1F were the two pod like seats at the front/back of the train. This is not a complaint but I would have thought that coach one would have been at the front of the train not the back.

Over 30 high speed rides a day from the North Station to Chengdu, most of them stop at Chengdu East Station. If you are flexible with departure time, it is no problem to buy the ticket at station after your arrival. If you are a little tight with travel time, it is safer to book tickets in advance.

chengdu to Chongqing seat selection
Are we more likely to get our two seats assigned together if we purchase 1st class than if we purchase 2nd?

It mainly depends on the ticket availability, not seat class. If there are still may seats left, it is possible to get the seats together no matter for first class or second class.

Seat choice chengdu to Chongqing
On the high speed trains from Chengdu to Chongqing, does the passenger choose seat assignments in 2nd class?

You can choose prefered seat like A, B, C, D or F, but the final seats are still assigned by the railway system. If there are still many seats left, they may give your prefered seats. If less seats left, it may just assigned them randomly.
