They are operated between Guilin North Railway Station and Zhengzhou Railway Station. If traveling by normal trains, passengers are advised to choose T290, Z286, or Z5 as they depart in the afternoon or evening and arrive at the next noon. In this case, they save the day time and one-night hotel expenses. A hard sleeper or soft sleeper is advised for such a trip so that passengers can lie down for a rest.
 For passengers who are tight in time, flight will be a quite good option as direct flights only take about 2 hours for a single trip. It saves a lot of time. The full price for an economy class seat is CNY 1,200, but usually, passengers are given a 20% - 60% discount, making flights more competitive compared with trains.

In contrast, high speed trains take a longer time. But a high speed rail trip provides a good chance to appreciate the beautiful scenery on land. In some high seasons, its ticket fare can also be attractive.

Normal speed trains are good options for budget travelers as their ticket fare is the lowest among the three.
