Beijing – Yinchuan Train vs. Flight

At present, high speed trains may the first choices for most travelers.

For those who travel in a hurry, flight is a good choice. Direct flights are operated between the two cities, taking 2 to 3.5 hours for a single journey, but it costs more than rail travel, especially in peak season for tourism and passengers should pay attention to the weather forecast in case of flight delay or cancellation.

In the case, overnight sleeper trains saving one-night accommodation fee and the day time are highly recommended for budget travelers and those who don’t have time for traveling during the day.
