Chengdu-Chongqing Train
There are about 47 pairs of bullet trains running between Chengdu and Chongqing, the duration is 1.5 – 2.5 hours. There are also 8 pairs of normal types shuttling between the two cities with duration of 3 – 5.5 hours.
Besides, you 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.

Most of them originate from/end in the Chengdu East Railway Station; the station is about 6 miles from Tianfu Square in city center and 14 miles from Shuangliu International Airport. City buses, taxis and subway line 2 are available here for your convenience. Only two pairs of them run to/from South Railway Station and this station is a little far from the city center and other places. Only D633 is operated to Chengdu Railway Station which is closer to city center and transportation to/from this station is very convenient; from there, you can easily go to the nearby attraction sites.
Most of them originate from/end in Chongqing North Railway Station, while a few others just have a stop there. So when you arrive or leave there, get prepared to detrain within 8 – 13 minutes and get onboard within 6 – 12 minutes.
Normal Train
There are 8 pairs of them running between the two cities currently. And all of them just use Chongqing Railway Station and North Railway Station as an intermediate stop. The former is close to the city center and it's convenient for you to go to other places upon arrival. But you can have more choices at the North Railway Station.
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.
