For this trip, passengers have to stay on the train for 40 hours at least. Even they are slow and may get delayed sometimes, normal trains are very popular to many people who have a tight budget. Getting a sleeper ticket will greatly improve your onboard experience.
 Some direct flights are available daily between the two cities, both of which are popular tourist destinations in China. They take 3 hours or so for a trip. A full price ticket costs about CNY 1,500 - 1,900. You may expect very attractive discounts in travel low season. For example, the ticket price for an economy class seat may drop to CNY 500, even lower than that of a second class seat on high speed train. Therefore, when in low season, it’s more advised to take a flight.
