5 direct trains run between the two, 2 bullet trains and 3 normal trains. The ticket price for bullet trains is CNY 1,147 or 1,250. It's advised to book with TravelChinaGuide in advance hassle-free. You are able to buy meals from the staff on the train. The bullet train runs steadily and the seat is comfortable. But sitting there for long, you cannot expect it to be as comfortable as at home.
