Hi there. I am Jack Li, the author of ChinaTrain12306. I used to work for China’s largest online tour agency China Highlights for 4 years, where I helped foreign travelers plan rail routes & bought tickets. In 2015, I started this blog to follow my passion. Now I am blogging as a hobby, sharing train travel tips, news and answering questions on Trip Advisor forums. If you have any train travel questions, just send Jack an email.

Starting December 26, 2021, there will be G series high speed trains running between Changsha and Fenghuang together with the opening of Zhangjiajie – Huaihua – Jishou – high speed rail , using Changsha South Railway Station (ChangshaNan) and Fenghuang Railway Station, taking about 2-2.5 hours. This is really a great news for those who want to visit Fenghuang Ancient Town from Changsha, the capital city of Hunan Province. In the past, travelers have to travel by bus between Fenghuang Old Town and Changsha, or bus from Fenghuang to Huaihua South Railway Station first, then a high speed train to Changsha South. Now, you have another option – direct high speed trains.

Jack will add the train schedule or information soon when the timetable are released.
