Obviously, flight between Hong Kong and Xi'an costs much more than high speed trains but the duration of taking plane is much shorter. Therefore, it is very recommended that passengers with sufficient money and limited time travel between Hong Kong and Xi'an by air. On the contrary, it is a better choice for passengers with limited budget but adequate travel time to take high speed trains.
