If passengers want to experience a different journey by rail, then a bullet train trip is a good choice. High Speed trains will travel from the southwest China to the North China via many famous cities such as Xi'an, Luoyang, and Zhengzhou, to see different scenery along the way. Besides, high speed trains are more punctual than flights.
