How to carry a 159cm on a G Train?

As the rules say, you need to check in the big luggage for high-speed rail. However, in fact, as long as the excess weight or size is not very much, usually will not be asked to check in.

If you worry about you may be asked to do that, to be on the safe side, you need to arrive the rail station for luggage 2 hours before the departure as you may wait in line.

The check-in fare is CNY 23 for the first kilo, CNY 10 per kilo for the rest. Note that your luggage should weigh no more than 50kg.

Thanks for you answer.

But if I understood you correctly, if I am asked to check in my big baggage, it can not be transported by the G-Train, as it has no baggage transportation cabin.

So if it happens, my baggage will be transported with a slow train and I have to pick it then up the next day in Lanzhou and I have that baggage not available?

I am a little bit confused, because normal trains would be no problem, because it has the same size limits as plane. But especially the bullet train has others, and I fear that I have no baggage at the end, because there is no space to transport the 30cm bigger baggage.

The weight is no problem, for plane it is also not allowed to exceed 20kg.

Your check in luggage may arrive in Lanzhou later than your arrival, which means you have to wait for it. If your bigger luggage has some necessaries and you need them immediately after arrival, then it's advised to check in it one day before you G-train departure.
