Asked by Connor from HUNGARY | Dec. 17, 2019 17:23

Is there any train from the International Cruise Terminal to Shijiazhuang?

Answers (1)

Answered by Jarrett from UNITED KINGDOM | Dec. 18, 2019 22:13

There is no direct rail service at the port, the nestest station with normal slow train service to Shijiazhuang should be Binhai station. The nearest station with high speed rail service should be Binhai West Station. You can take a taxi from the port which takes around 40min on the way.

Traveling with 3 years old child

I am wondering if it is better to buy a ticket for the child or not? Is second class seats good enough for 2 hours train ride? We are a couple with child under 120cm. Thank you.

Answered by Pearce from SINGAPORE | May. 26, 2019 18:46

Indeed, the leg room for second class seat is a little bit limited. The space would be tight if the child will share seats, but still acceptable in my opinion. You can ask for two seats on the two-seat side which will be much for convenient for you. If you finally decide to buy a child ticket, seats on 3-seats side would be prefect.

Which train should I take from Tianjin to Shijiazhuang?

I plan to take the G605 at 11:55 from Shijiazhuang to Pingyao. At what time should I depart from Tianjin to catch G605? Do you think this is a good transfer route?

If you want to go from Tianjin Railway Station, you may use G1704 at 9:02am. If you want to go from the West Station, G6291 can work for you. As long as you have more than 30min between this two trips, it is fine!
