How to Choose Seat from Chongqing High Speed Train?
Second Class Seats:
Second class is your most common option on these high-speed trains. It's perfect if you're looking for a cheaper ticket and don't need to charge your phone or anything, or plan on doing a ton of reading or eating on the train. They're set up with five seats in a row (3 on one side, 2 on the other), so they're pretty good for families traveling together. Legroom's not super generous, but it's fine for shorter trips, like the 30mins ride from Chongqing to Dazu.
First Class Seats:
First class is a step up if you want a bit more room to stretch out and need a place to plug in your stuff. You get more legroom than in second class, and the seats are arranged two by two. These are a good choice if you're traveling with older folks or little kids, or if you need to work on your laptop or read but don't want to shell out for business class.
Business Class Seats:
Business class is the most priciest option. It's geared towards business travelers who need to get work done on the go, or anyone who wants a comfortable and private ride. Think of it like business class on a plane: the seats are super roomy, with only three per row (two on one side, one on the other), and they fully recline. You also get extras like footrests, reading lights, power outlets, small tables, and free food and drinks.
