Asked by Timmi from FINLAND | Jan. 08, 2019 00:20

transit in Taiyuan

I want to go from Jinan to Pingyao stay one night and then to Xi'an. I notice that I cannot go directly to Pingyao but could make a transit in Taiyuan. I am wondering how much time it takes to change trains? How to find the next train? Is it hard to make a transit?

Taiyuan is indeed a good transfer option. It is OK to finish the transit within 30min usually. It is not too hard if you have the paper ticket in hand in advance. After your arrival, you need to find the "transfer" passage which can lead you to reach the waiting room instead of exit. After you reach the waiting room, it is simple, check the checkin gate of second trip by train code and then wait for the checkin to enter the platform again.
