Changchun by train
Changchun has three passenger railway stations: Changchun Railway Station (长春站), Changchun East Railway Station (长春东站) and Changchun South Railway Station (长春南站). The latter two stations are very small and only local trains stop there.
Changchun Railway Station (长春站; Changchun Zhan) is situated at the north end of Renmin Avenue (人民大街). Although it is large and chaotic, providing you read Chinese and speak some Mandarin and are prepared to fight through the queues, you can buy a ticket to almost anywhere in China from here.
Thanks to the railroad-building efforts of Japanese in the early- to mid-1900s, the rail network in Northeast China is extensive and no place is very far by rail.
Beijing - takes about 8 hours (Z61 sleeper leaving at 10:30PM)
Dalian - takes 7-10 hours
Dandong - takes about 10 hours
Harbin - takes about 4 hours
Jilin - takes about 2 hours
Shanghai - takes about 32 hours
Shenyang - takes 2-4 hours
Tonghua - takes about 9 hours
Xi'an - takes about 34 hours
Rail travel is by far the cheapest way to travel in and out of Changchun. If you do not want to go to the train station yourself, you can go to any good travel agent, who will do this on your behalf, usually for ¥10-20 extra.
