Would you please kindly tell which station is closer to our hotel Grand Mercure Jinan Sunshine?
The hotel page says they are near downtown, so we suppose we should choose Jinan Station?

Yes, you are right! The hotel is indeed closer to the main station, maybe around 6km. It is very convenient to use taxi which should cost around CNY20 by meter.

Thank you for your inquiry.
If departs from HK West Kowloon Station, we suggest you to be at the around 2 hours in advance to have enough time for ticket collection and immigration check. With paper ticket in hand, you may reach the station around 70 to 80min in advance.

For other stations in China mainland, it would be better if you can reach the station around 1.5 hours for ticket collection and boarding. With paper ticket in hand, 40min would be OK. Hope this information can help you.

Personally speaking, I think Shijiazhuang is a good city for transfer. HK-Shijiazhuang-Jinan. You can take G80 to Shijiazhuang and then there are many high speed rides to continue the trip to Jinan. The ticket price can be lowered to around CNY1,119.5 per person.
