A Quicker High Speed Train Transfer in Jinan

As only three pairs of high speed trains run between Hangzhou and Qingdao, the timetable may not fit your case. Passengers can choose to make a transfer in Jinan, Shanghai, or Nanjing for more options, but transferring in Jinan is the most ideal choice for more trains are available there and the duration is the shortest.

Route	Duration	Lowest Ticket Fare
Hangzhou East - Jinan/ Jinan West	3 - 6 hours	CNY 381.5
Jinan - Qingdao/ Qingdao North	2.5 - 4 hours	CNY 116.5
Total	5.5 - 10 hours	CNY 500

In Jinan, two stations are involved. To avoid the hassle, it’s better to connect the trip in the same station, that is, Jinan Railway Station. More bullet trains are available in Jinan West Station, but you need to go to Jinan Station for the Jinan - Qingdao leg. City bus K156 can take you to travel between the two stations.

Answered by Winslow from USA | Jan. 02, 2019 21:39

The bus K156 would take about 1 hour on the way, you also need to be at the Jinan Station 40min in advance. So, you need around 2 hours prepared. Taxi would be a little faster, but mainly depends on the traffic, so maybe 1.5 hours. The taxi fare could be around CNY30.
