Questions & Answers on Chengdu - Taiyuan Trainabout

Asked by Jennifer from USA | Sep. 29, 2019 00:19

Are these trains stop at Pingyao ancient town also?

Can I break the trip and visit Pingyao before reaching Chengdu?

Answered by Ethan from UNITED KINGDOM | Sep. 29, 2019 19:18

No, they do not have stop at Pingyao, they pass by only. If you want to visit Pingyao first, you need to buy tickets for two trips instead. You cannot get off the train at halfway and get back to continue the trip.

Asked by Hyman from CANADA | Apr. 17, 2019 04:20

Is there any other noon time train?

Online it shows no any option between 8am and 3:30pm. What are my options if I want to go around noon time like 11am or 12pm? Thanks for your idea in advance.

Answered by Winslow from USA | Apr. 17, 2019 18:20

There is indeed no other rides in service, but it is possible to depart later around noon train if you choose a transfer in Xi'an North. There are many rides from Chengdu to Xi'an and also Xi'an to Taiyuan. You will have many options if you make a transfer in Xi'an.

Asked by Craig | Dec. 10, 2018 17:58

I want to visit Pingyao Ancient Town.

Is a transfer Chengdu to Taiyuan to Pingyao good option? It seems I need a sleeper ride to Pingyao?

Answered by Chelsea from AUSTRALIA | Dec. 11, 2018 17:32

No! Xi'an north is a better option. You can reach Pingyao on the same day! There are high speed rides for both sections. The duration is around 8 hours and cost around CNY420 by second class seats.
