About the station
Zunyi is known internationally as the site of the 1935 conference that reshaped the Chinese Communist Party’s leadership, and the conference site in the old town is the main reason people visit.
The station serves conventional trains; Zunyi South handles high-speed services on the Chongqing–Guiyang line. They are separate stations.
The city is also the centre of Guizhou’s famous liquor industry, and the old town has been restored around the conference site.
Getting to and from Zunyi
Buses and taxis connect the station to the old town and the city centre. Distances are short.
For high-speed connections, Zunyi South is the station to use, and it is a different location from this one.
What catches travellers out here
- Zunyi and Zunyi South are different stations. Chinese naming adds a character, English naming is easier to miss.
- The conference site area is busy with domestic tour groups. Early morning is noticeably calmer.
