Chongqing - Zhengzhou Trains vs. Flights

If you choose to take a normal speed ride, you should be prepared for a long journey. A sleeper ticket is highly recommended. Z49 which departs from Zhengzhou at 17:36 and arrives in Chongqing North at 05:58 is worth a mention. It only needs 12 hours but much cheaper than bullet trains. A high speed ride takes less time, but still requires 8 or 9 hours and no sleepers are available.

In this way, flight is a better option for this long route. There are many flights available and the duration is about 2 hours. Normally there are discount flights available before the departure date. Sometimes airlines release big discounts to attract more customers. The price is competitive compared with high speed rides. If you want to take a flight, please book it in advance.

At what time should we reach Chongqing West Station to catch train at 8:27am?

I read that passengers are advised to prepare 1 and a half hours at station, so 7am for you should be good. Wish your location are not too far away, otherwise it could be a long day for you.

Asked by Oprah from ITALY | Dec. 18, 2018 01:18

Is there anyone knows how to reach Hilton Zhengzhou from the station?

Hello, this is Emily from United Kingdom! Is there convenient public transportation can be used? If not, how long and how much it takes by taxi? The taxis go by meter? Thank you for your time in advance!

Hi Oprah, I suppose you will reach the East Station by high speed rides? There is metro service can be used. You can take line 1 from the East Station and get off at Min Hang Lu, the 5th stop at exit H. The hotel should be about 800m in distance. The metro will end at 10:15pm. If after that, it is better to use taxi. Taxi would take around 20min and cost around CNY25.
