Suzhou - Jinan Train

Normally there are about 36 pairs of high speed trains a day running between Suzhou North/ Zhangjiagang Railway Station and Jinan West Railway Station, which are the most convenient and recommended way for transfer between. Over 5 pairs of normal speed ones including Z, T and K types also operate. They take around 8.5 - 12.5 hours on the way. For the same route, the bullet trains only take around 2.5 to 7.5 hours, but surely, the price is also higher than normal types.

Except rail service, there are also a few buses available for this route, they may take around 11 hours on the way. Flight service is currently not available.

These normal speed rides run almost along the same route as high speed rides do, but they use Suzhou Railway Station and Jinan Railway Station instead. Both of the stations are closer to the city center area.

It is obviously that the duration of normal speed rides are near 3 to 4 time of high speed rides. Thus normally the high speed rides are more recommended. However, normal rides are more economic. A hard sleeper would take around CNY 214 only and these travelers who choose an overnight sleeper train will save one night hotel cost too. Also, for these who need to travel at early morning or deep night, normal rides would be their only options as high speed rides only serve during day time.
