Luggage Space on China Trains
Generally, in a seat class carriage, the luggage racks are above the seats on each side of the coach. They can hold suitcases as big as 28’’.
On high speed trains, there are closets for big baggage at the connection of two coaches; behind the last row of the seats, there is space for large baggage, too.
In sleeper carriages, the luggage racks are either above the aisles or above the doors inside the compartment. There is also luggage space under the lower berth or table.

High Speed Trains (C, D & G types)
Passengers traveling with large bags or suitcases over 28” can place them at the closets at the connection between two carriages, or behind the last row of seats. If you sit at the first row, there is room for your large bags or suitcases in front of your seats, too.
Kind Reminder: Carry your valuable items with you if you are far from your luggage; keep an eye on it, especially when passengers are getting on and off at a station.

• In the deluxe soft sleeper coaches, the luggage can be put under the lower berth which is also about 25 cm (9.8 inches) high or under the table which is 70 cm (27.6 inches) high. There is a closet opposite the berths to hang overcoats and store small bags.
• In the newly-adopted bullet sleeper trains, the luggage space is set under the lower berth, which can hold six 17’’ suitcases or two 25’’ suitcases at the same time. There is also a table beside each berth to put small bags.

• In soft seat coaches: The rack is also over the seats on two sides of the coach and there is no room for extremely large items, either. Passengers should consign the large ones in advance.Further Reading:

No luggage service on any G and D trains, possibly on K691. However, it is not an easy thing to arrange checked luggage on trains. It is better to take all your luggage with you into the train.

It depends on the size, if it is not too large you could take it on the train. Pack it to rod-shaped, the limitation is less than 200 cm (79 inches).

I think it should fit the rack above seats, if not, there is space for large sized luggage at the front or end of the carriage

24 golf bags did take a lot space, the space lack for large sized luggage cannot work for that much. YOu can ony try to arrange them on the luggage racks above seats.
