Zhengzhou Train

Zhengzhou is one of the central cities in China with a large and complex rail system - Zhengzhou Railway Hinge. It is regarded as the heart of the Chinese Railway System, lying at the meeting point of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway Line, Lianyungang-Lanzhou Railway Line, Beijing-Hong Kong High-Speed Rail Line and Xuzhou-Lanzhou High-Speed Rail Line.

There are five train stations in Zhengzhou, among which the North Station is for freight only and the rest four (the Main Station, East Station, South Station and West Station) are mainly for passenger transport. The latter four stations are all high speed railway stations and they operate high speed trains to many large cities all over China, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Guangzhou, Changsha, Wuhan and Shenzhen. The table below shows the travel duration comparison between bullet trains and normal ones:

 Although bullet trains are faster and more comfortable, passengers sometime prefer to choose an ordinary one for an overnight trip so that they can reach their destinations in the next morning. In this way, it saves much money and lets travelers make the best of their time. For example, train nos. Z202, 1488, K118, K180, K158, K402 and K280 are fine choices for Beijing; nos. K362, K154, K236, K1104 and K284 are for Shanghai and nos. T123, Z97, Z89 and Z35 are for Guangzhou.
