Chongqing Train Station Choose Tips:

Chongqing West Railway Station is a little far away from the city downtown and Chongqing Chaotianmen Port, and is short in transportations to the downtown and port. As so far the trains from Guilin only arrive at Chongqing West Railway Station, and you could choose our local transfer service to reach the embarkation port directly. Such service needs extra charge but reasonable!

(Recent news: there will be about 2 years' construction activities adjacent to Chongqing West Railway Station since 2018, which would cause some traffic jams there around the station. For Chongqing embarkation guests, to help you get on you cruise at Chongqing Chaotianmen Port on time, we suggest you arrange your train arriving at this station before 15:00. For Chongqing Chaotianmen Port disembarkation guests, we suggest you book a train departing after 11:30 if you leave Chongqing from this station. If your cruise uses Fengdu Port in special events, we suggest you arrange your train arriving before 14:00 for you Chongqing embarkation, and departing after 12:30 for Chongqing disembarkation.)
