Jining has recently introduced two new high-speed train services, G386 from Jining North Station to Beijing South Station and G385 from Beijing South Station to Heze East Station.

G386 marks the first direct high-speed train route connecting Jining North Station and Beijing. Meanwhile, G385 fills the gap in train services returning from Beijing between 17:00 and 20:00.

Since the launch of the Jining North Station high-speed rail, the route to Beijing has consistently been one of the most popular choices for travelers. During holidays and summer vacations, passenger volume on this route significantly increases, resulting in challenges with ticket availability.

With the introduction of these new services, people can now embark from Jining North Station in the morning and arrive in Beijing before noon. The journey encompasses stops at Qufu, Jinan, Cangzhou, Tianjin, and other cities, completing the trip in less than three hours.

For those departing from Beijing South Station at 18:27, their itinerary includes stops at Langfang, Tianjin, Jinan, Tai'an, and other cities, ultimately reaching downtown Jining before 22:00. This convenient connection allows individuals to travel, visit relatives, and partake in various activities during holidays and weekends.

By optimizing the train schedule between Jining North Station and Beijing South Station, the pressure stemming from passenger flow between Jining and Beijing has significantly eased. As a result, transportation during weekends and holidays is expected to be smoother and more organized.
