Major Rail Lines from Qingdao to:
But now there is one high speed train from Qingdao to Penglai city, D6044 07:46/ 11:01, it takes 3hours 15 minutes and I think train is safer. This train has a stop at Qingdao North station, you can choose a departure station nearby.
What is the cheapest way to travel between?
Plane or train? And what will it cost for a return ticket.
Many thanks for your assistance
For flight, it seems there is no direct flight to Qingdao on 19th or 20th. A transfer in beijing would cost more than CNY1,000. If you go to dalian by rail first and then a flight to the final destination, it can be a cheaper, for example around CNY600. For return to Dandong, there is direct flight available. The price is good as well, around CNY500. But it may change from time to time.
