Riding China’s High-Speed Trains to Cost Nearly 20% More From June 15

Many of China’s high-speed train operators will jack up ticket prices by almost 20 percent on June 15, after record high national rail passenger volumes and profit last year, but travelers will be able to seek out bargains thanks to new dynamic pricing.

Prices for 300-kilometer-per-hour or more trains will increase on lines running between Wuhan and Guangzhou, Shanghai and Hangzhou, as well as Shanghai and Kunming, according to recent announcements.

The last price hike was in June 2021, when the biggest increase for a second-class ticket on a Shanghai-Beijing high-speed train was nearly 11 percent to CNY662 from CNY598 (USD94 from USD85).

But this time, a dynamic pricing system will be introduced, offering as much as 45 percent off tickets based on market conditions, seat class, as well as travel dates and times.
