Guangzhou - Changsha Train

About 160 pairs of trains are shuttling between Guangzhou and Changsha on a daily basis. Among them, around 132 pairs are bullet trains from Guangzhou to Changsha and vice versa, running with duration of 2 – 8 hours; and the other around 30 pairs are normal types taking about 7 – 9 hours. On Friday to Monday, additional 3 D trains are available from Guangzhou to Changsha, taking nearly 3 hours for a single ride.

Aside from the rail travel, flight is also available. There are about 4 pairs of direct flights in service between the two cities, with travel time of only 1.5 hours or so. But the airports are a little far from the downtown area. If counting in the transfer time to/from airports, the total flight travel time may be more than 3 hours, the same as high speed rail travel time. Also, flight ticket usually costs more than railway ticket and flight schedule is not as dense as rail schedule.
