Tip: If the tickets of this long leg are sold out when you book tickets, you can connect the trips at other cities, like Shanghai, Changsha and Guiyang.
 In consideration of travel duration, most passengers would like to take a flight instead to spare more time on exploring in cities. The full price of an economic class seat on plane costs about CNY 1,900. Sometimes, passengers can enjoy a discount of more than 50%. In this case, it’s more cost-efficient to travel by plane. What’s more, many direct flights are available from the early morning to late evening, so travelers can have a more flexible schedule.
