🚄 From Beijing to Inner Mongo

🚄 From Beijing to Inner Mongolia in Just 2.5 Hours! | How to Get to Chifeng Fast and Easy

Chifeng is one of the gateways to beautiful Inner Mongolia — and the best part? It’s super easy to reach from Beijing!

We went to China this October, and since Inner Mongolia was one of our main objectives, we decided to take the high-speed train from Beijing.

Normally, it’s a 9–10 hour journey, but with China’s high-speed rail, it took us only around 2.5 hours. The ride was so smooth it felt like floating — plus, you get to enjoy the view of northern China’s rolling hills along the way. 🌾

We booked our tickets through Trip.com, and it’s honestly the most convenient way. You can even book before tickets are officially available , they helps queue for you so you can “chop” your seat before others.

🔹 Important tip: The train to Chifeng (and I think other Dongbei cities like Harbin) departs from Beijing Chaoyang Railway Station 北京朝阳, not the more famous Beijing Railway Station 北京火车站. Don’t go to the wrong station!

Other travel tips:
1️⃣ Arrive at least 30 mins early — the station is huge and you’ll need to pass security check.
2️⃣ Just hand your passport to the station staff at the check-in gate.
3️⃣ You can store your luggage overhead or grab quick bites like cup noodles from the canteen car.
4️⃣ There’s a toilet onboard too (clean and modern).
5️⃣ Listen carefully for your stop — we almost missed ours because we got too comfy 😂

Welcome to Chifeng, the wild frontier of China.
Stay tuned — our next post will share what to see and do once you arrive! 🐴🌾🇨🇳
