Is the train Z7805 a fast train? Do you recommend a sleeper bed or hard seat is enough?

Thank you for your inquiry.

Up to now, there is no high speed ride for this trip. Z7805 is indeed much faster than other rides but still a normal type. Among normal rides, Z type is indeed faster and with less stopover. For this Z7805, it should be a non-stop ride to Taiyuan.

Asked by Leland from JORDAN | Mar. 11, 2019 03:24

May I know the difference between Z7805 and K731?

The departure time is almost the same and same station too, but Z7805 runs 2h42m and K731 runs 5h48m.

It should be the problem of speed, maybe also some influence of the route too. As I know, Z type (Z7805) is the fastest one among normal rides. Also, Z type has less stopovers too. This Z8705 even does not have a stopover during the whole trip. This is definitely the best option!
