Beijing–Harbin high-speed railway

North-east to the ice city — the winter version of this trip is a different journey.

Trains leave from Beijing and from Beijing Chaoyang, running north-east through Shenyang and Changchun to Harbin West. In winter the line is unaffected by snow, which is part of why it exists.

  • Check whether your train leaves from Beijing station or Beijing Chaoyang — they are on opposite sides of the city.
  • The Ice Festival runs in January and February; the trains fill up well in advance during that period.

FAQ

How long does the train from Beijing to Harbin take?

The fastest service on this date takes 4h 33m. Slower trains on the same route take longer — the timetable above lists the actual duration for every departure, so sort by journey time if speed matters more than the hour you leave.

How much is a train ticket from Beijing to Harbin?

Fares depend on the class you choose. Every quote on the results page shows the fare and our service fee separately.

Which station in Beijing does the train leave from?

On this date, departures leave from Beijing Fengtai and Beijing Chaoyang and Beijing West and Beijing. Large Chinese cities have more than one station and they are not within walking distance of each other, so check the station printed on your ticket rather than the city name.

Do I need to print a ticket?

No. Chinese railway tickets are issued against your passport, not a piece of paper. Carry the same passport you booked with, and staff will scan it at the gate. Keep the booking confirmation on your phone in case a conductor asks which seat is yours.

How far in advance can I book?

Chinese tickets are released about two weeks before departure, and this page only shows dates inside that window. Popular dates and holiday periods sell out early, so book as soon as your travel date appears.

Which class should I book?

Second class is the default on high-speed trains and is comparable to a short-haul airline seat. First and business class add space and recline for a premium. On overnight trains the choice matters more: a hard sleeper is a real bed, a hard seat is not. Our guide to seats and sleepers explains what each one actually looks like.
