 As an alternative, passengers can also travel between the two cities by direct flight, taking about 1.5 – 2 hours. This is be the first choice for those who are pressed for time, but only a few flights are operated each day. The full ticket fare for an economy class is about CNY1,100, but the airlines may offer 20%-60% discount in most cases. In this case, flights will be competitive.

Compared with flights, high speed trains take a longer time, but a high speed rail trip will be much cheaper. As this is a popular tourist route, traveling by bullet trains provides passengers a chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.

Normal trains take the longest time, but for budget travelers, this is a quite good choice to save money. By the way, a soft sleeper or hard sleeper allows passengers to lie down for a good rest.
