 Trains are more punctual than flight and rail travel is more preferable for budget travelers. As it passes many different cities, the scenery along the way is distinctive and beautiful.

Alternatively, you can fly between the two cities. There are three direct flights daily for passengers’ convenience, taking only about 3 hours. But the air ticket costs more, over CNY1,000 per person for an economy class in most cases. However, flight delays may occur frequently because of the changeable weather and air traffic control. Passengers should be prepared in mental.
