Guangzhou - Changchun Train

So far, no direct high speed trains are available between Guangzhou and Changchun. Only 3 or so pairs of normal speed trains run between Guangzhou Railway Station and Changchun Railway Station.

As the distance by railway is quite long, about 3,300 kilometers (2,050 miles), it takes 32.5 to 37 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.

Passengers can first take overnight high speed sleeper trains between Guangzhou and Beijing. Upon arrival in the early morning, they can catch a train to the final destination. In this way, they don’t have to stay a night in Beijing and hotel cost is saved. Notice that overnight bullet trains at both directions only operate on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

In Beijing, passengers need to transfer between different railway stations. They can catch a connecting a train at either Beijing Railway Station or South Railway Station, but South Railway Station is more advised because all G type trains are operated there, which take a shorter duration. What's more, the South Railway Station is closer to West Railway Station and can be reached easily by subway and bus.
 For those who want to arrive in the destination within one day, it is better to take a flight. There are over ten pairs of flights between the two cities and some of them have layovers in a third city. A single trip may take 4 to 6 hours. A full price economy class ticket costs about CNY 2,700. In low season, passengers may get a big discount, especially for non-direct flights.
