Before you rely on this
The times above come from the July 2026 timetable snapshot. China Railway revises its schedule several times a year, adds trains for holidays, and suspends services at short notice. Treat every departure time as a planning reference, not a booking commitment.
The live search queries China Railway (12306) directly for your travel date — that is the only source that reflects today's actual schedule and seat availability.
Our data covers high-speed (G/D/C) and intercity services. Slow conventional trains (Z/T/K) are only partly included, so a route marked "no direct train" may still have a direct slow train. Always confirm in the live search.
What it costs
Fares are set by China Railway in yuan and converted to dollars at the rate shown on this site. The price you see in the search results is the fare plus our service fee, in one number — nothing is added at checkout.
Other classes, and slower trains on the same route, are priced differently by the railway. The exact figure for the train you pick is shown before you pay.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to change trains from Sanming to Cangzhou?
In our typical timetable there is no direct high-speed service, so you would normally change at a major hub. The live search shows real connections for your date, including any direct slow trains that are outside our dataset.
How long is the train from Sanming to Cangzhou?
It depends on the connection. Check the live search for the total journey time on your date.
Can foreigners book these trains?
Yes. Every train listed runs under China Railway (12306) and accepts foreign passports. We book against your passport number — no Chinese ID or phone number required.
Are the departure times fixed?
We show typical daily frequency rather than exact times, because China Railway adjusts schedules several times a year. The live search always reflects the current timetable for your travel date.
Is the train cheaper than flying?
On most routes under about 5 hours, second class costs less than a comparable flight once you include baggage and airport transfers. Live fares in USD (with our service fee included) are shown in the search results.
