Beijing to Chongqing High-Speed Train

High-speed trains from Beijing to Chongqing depart from Beijing West Railway Station or Fengtai Railway Station and arrive at Chongqing North Railway Station or Chongqing West Railway Station.

The fastest train takes 7 hours. Taking the high-speed train can be your second choice because it is usually very punctual and comfortable. If you want to enjoy the scenery, you can buy a seat by the window, typically in the Seat A or F of first class, second class, or business class.

Beijing to Chongqing Overnight Train

There are 2 sleeper trains daily from Beijing to Chongqing, departing from Beijing West Station and arriving at Chongqing West Station. I don't recommend taking an overnight train because it will arrive at the destination the next day, and the train can be noisy during the day, which is not conducive to rest.
