Since the travel time is too long by normal speed trains, travelers could also connect bullet trains at another city like Beijing. In this way, the total travel time could be shortened to about 21 hours including the transfer time between different railway stations.
Route  Duration  Ticket Fare
Guangzhou - Beijing
7.5 - 11 hours  CNY 775 / 1,036 for second class seat
Beijing - Harbin
5 - 6.5 hours  CNY 571.5 for second class seat
Total  12.5 - 17.5 hours  CNY 1,346.5 - 1,607.5 for second class seat

If travelling on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, passengers are highly recommended to choose the overnight bullet sleeper trains between Beijing West Railway Station and Guangzhou South Railway Station. In this way, they can save one day's time on the way and one night’s hotel expense. If they take daytime trains, they have to stay in Beijing for a night.
