Hi,

Thanks for your question. Currently, there is no direct high speed train between Yiwu and Qingdao. You can take high speed train to Jinan West (济南西) first, then change to another high speed train to Qingdao. The whole journey costs around 8.5 hours.

Have a nice trip!

Hi Wil,
Thanks for your message. We’re glad to offer you useful information of transportation from Guangzhou to Jixi (鸡西市) Heilongjiang. So far, there is only normal train running from Guangzhou to nearest Harbin, so you either take normal trains all the way to Jixi or transfer in Beijing. Below are two available options (only transfer once) you can refer to.
1. Guangzhou - Beijing - Jixi (bullet train + normal train)

Guangzhou South to Beijing West: about 8~10.5 hrs / 5 trains per day
Beijing Station to Jixi Station: about 24.5 hrs/ 1 daily train

2. Guangzhou - Harbin - Jixi (both are normal trains)

Guangzhou East Station to Harbin West Station: about 35 hrs / 2 trains per day
Harbin East Station to Jixi Station: about 9~10 hrs / 8 trains per day

The former scheme is the most recommended one, which allows you experience bullet trains in a time-saving way. The second train trip will cost much longer time than the former. You can choose based on your needs.
Hope you enjoy your China train travel! Free to contact us if you have any question.
