How to Travel between Guangzhou and Wuhan

Guangzhou is about 980km (610mi) south from Wuhan. Flights, trains and buses are available for tourists to travel between. It takes 2h and CNY300-1,000 by plane, and 4-5h and around CNY500 by high speed train. Compared with planes, the high speed train has a higher departure frequency, and the involved railway stations are closer to the downtowns. So, taking high speed train can be the best option. What’s more, although with a duration of longer than 10 hours, normal speed train and long-distance buses cost less, and certain overnight trains or buses can satisfy the demands of budget travelers.
