Guangzhou - Changchun Train

So far, no direct high speed trains are available between Guangzhou and Changchun. Only 4 or so pairs of normal speed trains run between Guangzhou Railway Station/ Guangzhou Baiyun Railway Station and Changchun Railway Station.

As the distance by railway is quite long, about 3,300 kilometers (2,050 miles), it takes 32 to 41.5 hours for a one-way trip. It means passengers have to stay onboard for one or two nights.

To save time and make a more comfortable trip, you can connect the trip in Beijing by high speed trains. Alternatively, taking a flight is also a good choice.
